isWildCard

public boolean isWildCard()

Check whether this topic represents a wildcard expression.

Returns:

boolean true if the topic contains wildcards

isWildCard

public static boolean isWildCard(java.lang.String topic)

A static method which checks a topic to determine whether or not it complies to a wildcard definition.

Parameters:

topic - - the topic to check

Returns:

boolean - true if it does

match

public boolean match(JmsTopic destination)

If it is a wildcard check to see that it matches the specified topic. if wildcard is **, its a an imediate match for every topic. else tokenize both the wildcard and the topic. if the wildcard has less or equal no of tokens than the topic and ends in "**" check tokens if both wildcard and topic contain the same no of tokens check tokens Otherwise topic and wildcard do not match so return false.

Note we treat "a.b.c.*.*" and "a.b.c" as not a match at this stage, since the wildcard is attempting to match more levels than exist in the topic. if this proves to be unpopular with the masses, its a very trivial change below to fix this problem.

Tokens are compared and must either be identical or the wildcard token must be a "*" to match at this level. Once a mismatch is detected the comparison is stopped and a false returned.

NOTE: This check assumes both the topic and wildcard topic have both already been validated. if the topics are inavlid this test can return arbitrary results.

Parameters:

destination - The specific topic to match to

Returns:

True if the wildcard matches.

getReference

public javax.naming.Reference getReference()

Specified by:
