Class GenericUrl (1.45.0)

public class GenericUrl extends GenericData

URL builder in which the query parameters are specified as generic data key/value pairs, based on the specification RFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

The query parameters are specified with the data key name as the parameter name, and the data value as the parameter value. Subclasses can declare fields for known query parameters using the Key annotation. null parameter names are not allowed, but null query values are allowed.

Query parameter values are parsed using UrlEncodedParser#parse(String, Object).

Implementation is not thread-safe.

Static Methods

toPathParts(String encodedPath)

public static List<String> toPathParts(String encodedPath)

Returns the decoded path parts for the given encoded path.

Parameter
Name Description
encodedPath String

slash-prefixed encoded path, for example "/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full"

Returns
Type Description
List<String>

decoded path parts, with each part assumed to be preceded by a '/', for example "", "m8", "feeds", "contacts", "default", "full", or null for null or "" input

toPathParts(String encodedPath, boolean verbatim)

public static List<String> toPathParts(String encodedPath, boolean verbatim)

Returns the path parts (decoded if not verbatim).

Parameters
Name Description
encodedPath String

slash-prefixed encoded path, for example "/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full"

verbatim boolean

flag, to specify if URL should be used as is (without encoding, decoding and escaping)

Returns
Type Description
List<String>

path parts (decoded if not verbatim), with each part assumed to be preceded by a '/', for example "", "m8", "feeds", "contacts", "default", "full", or null for null or "" input

Constructors

GenericUrl()

public GenericUrl()

GenericUrl(String encodedUrl)

public GenericUrl(String encodedUrl)

Constructs a GenericUrl from a URL encoded string.

Any known query parameters with pre-defined fields as data keys will be parsed based on their data type. Any unrecognized query parameter will always be parsed as a string.

Any MalformedURLException is wrapped in an IllegalArgumentException.

Upgrade warning: starting in version 1.18 this parses the encodedUrl using new URL(encodedUrl). In previous versions it used new URI(encodedUrl). In particular, this means that only a limited set of schemes are allowed such as "http" and "https", but that parsing is compliant with, at least, RFC 3986.

Parameter
Name Description
encodedUrl String

encoded URL, including any existing query parameters that should be parsed

GenericUrl(String encodedUrl, boolean verbatim)

public GenericUrl(String encodedUrl, boolean verbatim)

Constructs a GenericUrl from a string.

Any known query parameters with pre-defined fields as data keys will be parsed based on their data type. Any unrecognized query parameter will always be parsed as a string.

Any MalformedURLException is wrapped in an IllegalArgumentException.

Parameters

encodedUrl String

encoded URL, including any existing query parameters that should be parsed

verbatim boolean

flag, to specify if URL should be used as is (without encoding, decoding and escaping)

Methods

appendRawPath(String encodedPath)

public void appendRawPath(String encodedPath)

Appends the given raw encoded path to the current #pathParts, setting field only if it is null or empty.

The last part of the #pathParts is merged with the first part of the path parts computed from the given encoded path. Thus, if the current raw encoded path is "a", and the given encoded path is "b", then the resulting raw encoded path is "ab".

Parameter
Name Description
encodedPath String

raw encoded path or null to ignore

build()

public final String build()

Constructs the string representation of the URL, including the path specified by #pathParts and the query parameters specified by this generic URL.

Returns
Type Description
String

buildAuthority()

public final String buildAuthority()

Constructs the portion of the URL containing the scheme, host and port.

For the URL "http://example.com/something?action=add" this method would return "http://example.com".

Returns
Type Description
String

scheme://[user-info@]host[:port]

buildRelativeUrl()

public final String buildRelativeUrl()

Constructs the portion of the URL beginning at the rooted path.

For the URL "http://example.com/something?action=add" this method would return "/something?action=add".

Returns
Type Description
String

path with with leading '/' if the path is non-empty, query parameters and fragment

clone()

public GenericUrl clone()

Makes a "deep" clone of the generic data, in which the clone is completely independent of the original.

Returns
Type Description
GenericUrl
Overrides

equals(Object obj)

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameter
Name Description
obj Object
Returns
Type Description
boolean
Overrides

getAll(String name)

public Collection<Object> getAll(String name)

Returns all query parameter values for the given query parameter name.

Parameter
Name Description
name String

query parameter name

Returns
Type Description
Collection<Object>

unmodifiable collection of query parameter values (possibly empty)

getFirst(String name)

public Object getFirst(String name)

Returns the first query parameter value for the given query parameter name.

Parameter
Name Description
name String

query parameter name

Returns
Type Description
Object

first query parameter value

getFragment()

public String getFragment()

Returns the fragment component or null for none.

Returns
Type Description
String

getHost()

public String getHost()

Returns the host, for example "www.google.com".

Returns

set(String fieldName, Object value)

public GenericUrl set(String fieldName, Object value)

Sets the given field value (may be null) for the given field name. Any existing value for the field will be overwritten. It may be more slightly more efficient than #put(String, Object) because it avoids accessing the field's original value.

Overriding is only supported for the purpose of calling the super implementation and changing the return type, but nothing else.

Parameters

fieldName String
value Object
Returns
Type Description
GenericUrl
Overrides
