Package com.yahoo.restapi
Class Path
java.lang.Object
com.yahoo.restapi.Path
A path which is able to match strings containing bracketed placeholders and return the
values given at the placeholders. The path is split on '/', and each part is then URL decoded.
E.g a path /a/1/bar/fuz/baz/%62%2f
will match /a/{foo}/bar/{b}/baz/{c}
and return foo=1, b=fuz, and c=c/
Only full path elements may be placeholders, i.e /a{bar} is not interpreted as one.
If the path spec ends with /{*}, it will match urls with any rest path.
The rest path (not including the trailing slash) will be available as getRest().
Note that for convenience in common use this has state which changes as a side effect of each matches
invocation. It is therefore for single thread use.
An optional prefix can be used to match the path spec against an alternative path. This
is used when you have alternative paths mapped to the same resource.

pathSpec
- the path string to match to this- Returns:
- true if the string matches, false otherwise
-
get
Returns the value of the given template variable in the last path matched, or null if the previous matches call returned false or if this has not matched anything yet. -
