Class RuleSetFactory

java.lang.Object

net.sourceforge.pmd.RuleSetFactory

public class RuleSetFactory
extends java.lang.Object

RuleSetFactory is responsible for creating RuleSet instances from XML content. By default Rules will be loaded using the RulePriority.LOW priority, with Rule deprecation warnings off. By default, the ruleset compatibility filter is active, too. See RuleSetFactoryCompatibility.

Deprecated.

Use RuleSetFactory(ResourceLoader, RulePriority, boolean, boolean) with ResourceLoader instead of a ClassLoader.

RuleSetFactory

public RuleSetFactory(ResourceLoader resourceLoader,
                      RulePriority minimumPriority,
                      boolean warnDeprecated,
                      boolean enableCompatibility)

RuleSetFactory

public RuleSetFactory(RuleSetFactory factory,
                      boolean warnDeprecated)

Constructor copying all configuration from another factory.

Parameters:

factory - The factory whose configuration to copy.

warnDeprecated - Whether deprecation warnings are to be produced by this factory.

Method Detail

getRegisteredRuleSets

public java.util.Iterator<RuleSet> getRegisteredRuleSets()
                                                  throws RuleSetNotFoundException

Returns an Iterator of RuleSet objects loaded from descriptions from the "categories.properties" resource for each Language with Rule support.

Returns:

An Iterator of RuleSet objects.

Throws:

RuleSetNotFoundException - if the ruleset file could not be found

createRuleSets

public RuleSets createRuleSets(java.lang.String referenceString)
                        throws RuleSetNotFoundException

Create a RuleSets from a comma separated list of RuleSet reference IDs. This is a convenience method which calls RuleSetReferenceId.parse(String), and then calls createRuleSets(List). The currently configured ResourceLoader is used.

Parameters:

referenceString - A comma separated list of RuleSet reference IDs.

Returns:

The new RuleSets.

Throws:

RuleSetNotFoundException - if unable to find a resource.

createRuleSets

public RuleSets createRuleSets(java.util.List<RuleSetReferenceId> ruleSetReferenceIds)
                        throws RuleSetNotFoundException

Create a RuleSets from a list of RuleSetReferenceIds. The currently configured ResourceLoader is used.

Parameters:

ruleSetReferenceIds - The List of RuleSetReferenceId of the RuleSets to create.

Returns:

The new RuleSets.

Throws:

RuleSetNotFoundException - if unable to find a resource.

createRuleSet

public RuleSet createRuleSet(java.lang.String referenceString)
                      throws RuleSetNotFoundException

Create a RuleSet from a RuleSet reference ID string. This is a convenience method which calls RuleSetReferenceId.parse(String), gets the first item in the List, and then calls createRuleSet(RuleSetReferenceId). The currently configured ResourceLoader is used.

Parameters:

referenceString - A comma separated list of RuleSet reference IDs.

Returns:

A new RuleSet.

Throws:

RuleSetNotFoundException - if unable to find a resource.

createRuleSet

public RuleSet createRuleSet(RuleSetReferenceId ruleSetReferenceId)
                      throws RuleSetNotFoundException

Create a RuleSet from a RuleSetReferenceId. Priority filtering is ignored when loading a single Rule. The currently configured ResourceLoader is used.

Parameters:

ruleSetReferenceId - The RuleSetReferenceId of the RuleSet to create.

Returns:

A new RuleSet.

Throws:

RuleSetNotFoundException - if unable to find a resource.

createRuleSetCopy

public RuleSet createRuleSetCopy(RuleSet original)

Creates a copy of the given ruleset. All properties like name, description, fileName and exclude/include patterns are copied.

Note: The rule instances are shared between the original and the new ruleset (copy-by-reference). This might lead to concurrency issues, if the original ruleset and the new ruleset are used in different threads.

Parameters:

original - the original rule set to copy from

Returns:

the copy

createNewRuleSet

public RuleSet createNewRuleSet(java.lang.String name,
                                java.lang.String description,
                                java.lang.String fileName,
                                java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> excludePatterns,
                                java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> includePatterns,
                                java.util.Collection<Rule> rules)

Creates a new ruleset with the given metadata such as name, description, fileName, exclude/include patterns are used. The rules are taken from the given collection.

Note: The rule instances are shared between the collection and the new ruleset (copy-by-reference). This might lead to concurrency issues, if the rules of the collection are also referenced by other rulesets and used in different threads.

Parameters:

name - the name of the ruleset

description - the description

fileName - the filename

excludePatterns - list of exclude patterns

includePatterns - list of include patterns

rules - the collection with the rules to add to the new ruleset

Returns:

the new ruleset

createSingleRuleRuleSet

public RuleSet createSingleRuleRuleSet(Rule rule)

Creates a new RuleSet for a single rule

Parameters:

rule - The rule being created

Returns:

The newly created RuleSet
