org.beangle.commons.regex

AntPattern implementation for Ant-style path patterns. Examples are provided below.

Part of this mapping code has been kindly borrowed from <a href="http://ant.apache.org">Apache Ant</a>.

The mapping matches URLs using the following rules:<br>

• ? matches one character

• • matches zero or more characters

• ** matches zero or more 'directories' in a path

Some examples:<br>

• <code>com/t?st.jsp</code> - matches <code>com/test.jsp</code> but also <code>com/tast.jsp</code> or <code>com/txst.jsp</code>

• <code>com/*sp</code> - matches all <code>.jsp</code> files in the <code>com</code> directory

• <code>org/beangle/**/*.jsp</code> - matches all <code>.jsp</code> files underneath

• <code>com/**/test.jsp</code> - matches all <code>test.jsp</code> files underneath the <code>com</code> path the <code>org/beangle</code> path

• <code>org/**/servlet/bla.jsp</code> - matches <code>org/beangle/servlet/bla.jsp</code> but also <code>org/beangle/testing/servlet/bla.jsp</code> and <code>org/servlet/bla.jsp</code>
