Class UrlRef

java.lang.Object

com.github.mizool.core.UrlRef

public final class UrlRef
extends Object

Safely stores a reference to a URL and allows conversion to URI and URL at any time.

Features

• Unlike URL, this class ensures that invocations of equals() and hashCode() never trigger network requests, making this class suitable for collections. For details, see the SonarQube rule "URL.hashCode" and "URL.equals" should be avoided.
• When constructing a UrlRef instance, it is ensured that it later can be converted to both a URI and a URL.
• Creating a UrlRef never throws checked exceptions.
• Unlike URI, an UrlRef instance can be used to build a child URI - just like URL with its two-arg constructor.

UrlRef

public UrlRef(@NonNull
 @NonNull URI uri)

UrlRef

public UrlRef(@NonNull
 @NonNull String spec)

Method Details

resolve

public UrlRef resolve(@NonNull
 @NonNull String spec)

Creates a new UrlRef by combining the URL referenced by this instance (the "context") with the given spec.

The new URL is constructed as if using URL(URL, String). Note that the result differs based on whether the context has a trailing slash, the spec has a leading slash, both, or none.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if spec is null

IllegalArgumentException - if the resulting UrlRef would cause exceptions when converted to URI or URL
