Class IllegalTokenTextCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable
    public class IllegalTokenTextCheck
extends AbstractCheck

    Checks specified tokens text for matching an illegal pattern. By default, no tokens are specified.

    • Property format - Define the RegExp for illegal pattern. Type is java.util.regex.Pattern. Default value is "^$".
    • Property ignoreCase - Control whether to ignore case when matching. Type is boolean. Default value is false.
    • Property message - Define the message which is used to notify about violations; if empty then the default message is used. Type is java.lang.String. Default value is "".
    • Property tokens - tokens to check Type is java.lang.String[]. Validation type is tokenSet. Default value is: "".

    To configure the check to forbid String literals containing "a href": 

     <module name="IllegalTokenText">
   <property name="tokens" value="STRING_LITERAL"/>
   <property name="format" value="a href"/>
 </module>

    Example:

     public void myTest() {
     String test = "a href"; // violation
     String test2 = "A href"; // OK, case is sensitive
 }

    To configure the check to forbid String literals containing "a href" for the ignoreCase mode: 

     <module name="IllegalTokenText">
   <property name="tokens" value="STRING_LITERAL"/>
   <property name="format" value="a href"/>
   <property name="ignoreCase" value="true"/>
 </module>

    Example:

     public void myTest() {
     String test = "a href"; // violation
     String test2 = "A href"; // violation, case is ignored
 }

    To configure the check to forbid string literal text blocks containing """: 

     <module name="IllegalTokenText">
   <property name="tokens" value="TEXT_BLOCK_CONTENT"/>
   <property name="format" value='"'/>
 </module>

    Example:

     public void myTest() {
     final String quote = """
                \""""; // violation
 }

    To configure the check to forbid leading zeros in an integer literal, other than zero and a hex literal: 

     <module name="IllegalTokenText">
   <property name="tokens" value="NUM_INT,NUM_LONG"/>
   <property name="format" value="^0[^lx]"/>
   <property name="ignoreCase" value="true"/>
 </module>

    Example:

     public void myTest() {
     int test1 = 0; // OK
     int test2 = 0x111; // OK
     int test3 = 0X111; // OK, case is ignored
     int test4 = 010; // violation
     long test5 = 0L; // OK
     long test6 = 010L; // violation
 }

        getAcceptableTokens in class AbstractCheck
        Returns:
