  +--org.apache.xml.serializer.utils.SystemIDResolver

public final class SystemIDResolver

extends java.lang.Object

This class is used to resolve relative URIs and SystemID strings into absolute URIs.

This is a generic utility for resolving URIs, other than the fact that it's declared to throw TransformerException. Please see code comments for details on how resolution is performed.

This class is a copy of the one in org.apache.xml.utils. It exists to cut the serializers dependancy on that package. This class is not a public API, it is only public because it is used in org.apache.xml.serializer.

Usage:

**For internal use only**

Method Detail

getAbsoluteURIFromRelative

public static java.lang.String getAbsoluteURIFromRelative(java.lang.String localPath)

Get an absolute URI from a given relative URI (local path).

The relative URI is a local filesystem path. The path can be absolute or relative. If it is a relative path, it is resolved relative to the system property "user.dir" if it is available; if not (i.e. in an Applet perhaps which throws SecurityException) then we just return the relative path. The space and backslash characters are also replaced to generate a good absolute URI.

Parameters:

localPath - The relative URI to resolve

Returns:

Resolved absolute URI

isAbsoluteURI

public static boolean isAbsoluteURI(java.lang.String systemId)

Return true if the systemId denotes an absolute URI .

Parameters:

systemId - The systemId string

Returns:

true if the systemId is an an absolute URI

isAbsolutePath

public static boolean isAbsolutePath(java.lang.String systemId)

Return true if the local path is an absolute path.

Parameters:

systemId - The path string

Returns:

true if the path is absolute

getAbsoluteURI

public static java.lang.String getAbsoluteURI(java.lang.String systemId)

Take a SystemID string and try to turn it into a good absolute URI.

Parameters:

systemId - A URI string, which may be absolute or relative.

Returns:

The resolved absolute URI

getAbsoluteURI

public static java.lang.String getAbsoluteURI(java.lang.String urlString,
                                              java.lang.String base)
                                       throws TransformerException

Take a SystemID string and try to turn it into a good absolute URI.

Parameters:

urlString - SystemID string

base - The URI string used as the base for resolving the systemID

Returns:

The resolved absolute URI

Throws:

TransformerException - thrown if the string can't be turned into a URI.
