public class URI
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Comparable, Serializable

The interface for the URI(Uniform Resource Identifiers) version of RFC 2396. This class has the purpose of supportting of parsing a URI reference to extend any specific protocols, the character encoding of the protocol to be transported and the charset of the document.

A URI is always in an "escaped" form, since escaping or unescaping a completed URI might change its semantics.

Implementers should be careful not to escape or unescape the same string more than once, since unescaping an already unescaped string might lead to misinterpreting a percent data character as another escaped character, or vice versa in the case of escaping an already escaped string.

In order to avoid these problems, data types used as follows:

   URI character sequence: char
   octet sequence: byte
   original character sequence: String
 

So, a URI is a sequence of characters as an array of a char type, which is not always represented as a sequence of octets as an array of byte.

URI Syntactic Components

 - In general, written as follows:
   Absolute URI = <scheme>:<scheme-specific-part>
   Generic URI = <scheme>://<authority><path>?<query>

 - Syntax
   absoluteURI   = scheme ":" ( hier_part | opaque_part )
   hier_part     = ( net_path | abs_path ) [ "?" query ]
   net_path      = "//" authority [ abs_path ]
   abs_path      = "/"  path_segments
 

The following examples illustrate URI that are in common use.

 ftp://ftp.is.co.za/rfc/rfc1808.txt
    -- ftp scheme for File Transfer Protocol services
 gopher://spinaltap.micro.umn.edu/00/Weather/California/Los%20Angeles
    -- gopher scheme for Gopher and Gopher+ Protocol services
 http://www.math.uio.no/faq/compression-faq/part1.html
    -- http scheme for Hypertext Transfer Protocol services
 mailto:mduerst@ifi.unizh.ch
    -- mailto scheme for electronic mail addresses
 news:comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix
    -- news scheme for USENET news groups and articles
 telnet://melvyl.ucop.edu/
    -- telnet scheme for interactive services via the TELNET Protocol
 
Please, notice that there are many modifications from URL(RFC 1738) and relative URL(RFC 1808).

The expressions for a URI

 For escaped URI forms
  - URI(char[]) // constructor
  - char[] getRawXxx() // method
  - String getEscapedXxx() // method
  - String toString() // method
 

For unescaped URI forms - URI(String) // constructor - String getXXX() // method

Method Detail

encode

protected static char[] encode(String original,
                               BitSet allowed,
                               String charset)
Encodes URI string. This is a two mapping, one from original characters to octets, and subsequently a second from octets to URI characters:

   original character sequence->octet sequence->URI character sequence
 

An escaped octet is encoded as a character triplet, consisting of the percent character "%" followed by the two hexadecimal digits representing the octet code. For example, "%20" is the escaped encoding for the US-ASCII space character.

Conversion from the local filesystem character set to UTF-8 will normally involve a two step process. First convert the local character set to the UCS; then convert the UCS to UTF-8. The first step in the process can be performed by maintaining a mapping table that includes the local character set code and the corresponding UCS code. The next step is to convert the UCS character code to the UTF-8 encoding.

Mapping between vendor codepages can be done in a very similar manner as described above.

The only time escape encodings can allowedly be made is when a URI is being created from its component parts. The escape and validate methods are internally performed within this method.

Parameters:
original - the original character sequence
allowed - those characters that are allowed within a component
charset - the protocol charset
Returns:
URI character sequence

decode

protected static String decode(char[] component,
                               String charset)
                        throws URIException
Decodes URI encoded string. This is a two mapping, one from URI characters to octets, and subsequently a second from octets to original characters:

   URI character sequence->octet sequence->original character sequence
 

A URI must be separated into its components before the escaped characters within those components can be allowedly decoded.

Notice that there is a chance that URI characters that are non UTF-8 may be parsed as valid UTF-8. A recent non-scientific analysis found that EUC encoded Japanese words had a 2.7% false reading; SJIS had a 0.0005% false reading; other encoding such as ASCII or KOI-8 have a 0% false reading.

The percent "%" character always has the reserved purpose of being the escape indicator, it must be escaped as "%25" in order to be used as data within a URI.

The unescape method is internally performed within this method.

Parameters:
component - the URI character sequence
charset - the protocol charset
Returns:
original character sequence
Throws:
URIException - incomplete trailing escape pattern or unsupported character encoding

decode

protected static String decode(String component,
                               String charset)
                        throws URIException
Decodes URI encoded string. This is a two mapping, one from URI characters to octets, and subsequently a second from octets to original characters:

   URI character sequence->octet sequence->original character sequence
 

A URI must be separated into its components before the escaped characters within those components can be allowedly decoded.

Notice that there is a chance that URI characters that are non UTF-8 may be parsed as valid UTF-8. A recent non-scientific analysis found that EUC encoded Japanese words had a 2.7% false reading; SJIS had a 0.0005% false reading; other encoding such as ASCII or KOI-8 have a 0% false reading.

The percent "%" character always has the reserved purpose of being the escape indicator, it must be escaped as "%25" in order to be used as data within a URI.

The unescape method is internally performed within this method.

Parameters:
component - the URI character sequence
charset - the protocol charset
Returns:
original character sequence
Throws:
URIException - incomplete trailing escape pattern or unsupported character encoding
Since:
3.0

prevalidate

protected boolean prevalidate(String component,

Parameters:
component - the component string within the component
disallowed - those characters disallowed within the component
Returns:
if true, it doesn't have the disallowed characters if false, the component is undefined or an incorrect one

validate

protected boolean validate(char[] component,
                           BitSet generous)
Validate the URI characters within a specific component. The component must be performed after escape encoding. Or it doesn't include escaped characters.

Parameters:
component - the characters sequence within the component
generous - those characters that are allowed within a component
Returns:
if true, it's the correct URI character sequence

validate

protected boolean validate(char[] component,
                           int soffset,
                           int eoffset,
                           BitSet generous)
Validate the URI characters within a specific component. The component must be performed after escape encoding. Or it doesn't include escaped characters.

It's not that much strict, generous. The strict validation might be performed before being called this method.

Parameters:
component - the characters sequence within the component
soffset - the starting offset of the given component
eoffset - the ending offset of the given component if -1, it means the length of the component
generous - those characters that are allowed within a component
Returns:
if true, it's the correct URI character sequence

parseUriReference

protected void parseUriReference(String original,
                                 boolean escaped)
                          throws URIException
In order to avoid any possilbity of conflict with non-ASCII characters, Parse a URI reference as a String with the character encoding of the local system or the document.

The following line is the regular expression for breaking-down a URI reference into its components.

   ^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?
    12            3  4          5       6  7        8 9
 

For example, matching the above expression to http://jakarta.apache.org/ietf/uri/#Related results in the following subexpression matches:

               $1 = http:
  scheme    =  $2 = http
               $3 = //jakarta.apache.org
  authority =  $4 = jakarta.apache.org
  path      =  $5 = /ietf/uri/
               $6 = 
  query     =  $7 = 
               $8 = #Related
  fragment  =  $9 = Related
 

Parameters:
original - the original character sequence
escaped - true if original is escaped
Throws:
URIException - If an error occurs.

setDefaultProtocolCharset

public static void setDefaultProtocolCharset(String charset)
                                      throws URI.DefaultCharsetChanged
Set the default charset of the protocol.

The character set used to store files SHALL remain a local decision and MAY depend on the capability of local operating systems. Prior to the exchange of URIs they SHOULD be converted into a ISO/IEC 10646 format and UTF-8 encoded. This approach, while allowing international exchange of URIs, will still allow backward compatibility with older systems because the code set positions for ASCII characters are identical to the one byte sequence in UTF-8.

An individual URI scheme may require a single charset, define a default charset, or provide a way to indicate the charset used.

Always all the time, the setter method is always succeeded and throws DefaultCharsetChanged exception. So API programmer must follow the following way:

  import org.apache.util.URI$DefaultCharsetChanged;
      .
      .
      .
  try {
      URI.setDefaultProtocolCharset("UTF-8");
  } catch (DefaultCharsetChanged cc) {
      // CASE 1: the exception could be ignored, when it is set by user
      if (cc.getReasonCode() == DefaultCharsetChanged.PROTOCOL_CHARSET) {
      // CASE 2: let user know the default protocol charset changed
      } else {
      // CASE 2: let user know the default document charset changed
      }
  }
  
The API programmer is responsible to set the correct charset. And each application should remember its own charset to support.

Parameters:
charset - the default charset for each protocol
Throws:
URI.DefaultCharsetChanged - default charset changed

getDefaultProtocolCharset

public static String getDefaultProtocolCharset()
Get the default charset of the protocol.

An individual URI scheme may require a single charset, define a default charset, or provide a way to indicate the charset used.

To work globally either requires support of a number of character sets and to be able to convert between them, or the use of a single preferred character set. For support of global compatibility it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that clients and servers use UTF-8 encoding when exchanging URIs.

Returns:
the default charset string

getProtocolCharset

public String getProtocolCharset()
Get the protocol charset used by this current URI instance. It was set by the constructor for this instance. If it was not set by contructor, it will return the default protocol charset.

Returns:
the protocol charset string
See Also:
getDefaultProtocolCharset()

setDefaultDocumentCharset

public static void setDefaultDocumentCharset(String charset)
                                      throws URI.DefaultCharsetChanged
Set the default charset of the document.

Notice that it will be possible to contain mixed characters (e.g. ftp://host/KoreanNamespace/ChineseResource). To handle the Bi-directional display of these character sets, the protocol charset could be simply used again. Because it's not yet implemented that the insertion of BIDI control characters at different points during composition is extracted.

Always all the time, the setter method is always succeeded and throws DefaultCharsetChanged exception. So API programmer must follow the following way:

  import org.apache.util.URI$DefaultCharsetChanged;
      .
      .
      .
  try {
      URI.setDefaultDocumentCharset("EUC-KR");
  } catch (DefaultCharsetChanged cc) {
      // CASE 1: the exception could be ignored, when it is set by user
      if (cc.getReasonCode() == DefaultCharsetChanged.DOCUMENT_CHARSET) {
      // CASE 2: let user know the default document charset changed
      } else {
      // CASE 2: let user know the default protocol charset changed
      }
  }
  
The API programmer is responsible to set the correct charset. And each application should remember its own charset to support.

Parameters:
charset - the default charset for the document
Throws:
URI.DefaultCharsetChanged - default charset changed

getDefaultDocumentCharset

public static String getDefaultDocumentCharset()
Get the recommended default charset of the document.

Returns:
the default charset string

The optional fragment identifier is not part of a URI, but is often used in conjunction with a URI.

The format and interpretation of fragment identifiers is dependent on the media type [RFC2046] of the retrieval result.

A fragment identifier is only meaningful when a URI reference is intended for retrieval and the result of that retrieval is a document for which the identified fragment is consistently defined.

obj - the object to be compared.
Returns:
0, if it's same, -1, if failed, first being compared with in the authority component
Throws:
ClassCastException - not URI argument

clone

public Object clone()
Create and return a copy of this object, the URI-reference containing the userinfo component. Notice that the whole URI-reference including the userinfo component counld not be gotten as a String.

To copy the identical URI object including the userinfo component, it should be used.

Overrides:
clone in class Object
Returns:
a clone of this instance

getRawURI

public char[] getRawURI()
It can be gotten the URI character sequence. It's raw-escaped. For the purpose of the protocol to be transported, it will be useful.

It is clearly unwise to use a URL that contains a password which is intended to be secret. In particular, the use of a password within the 'userinfo' component of a URL is strongly disrecommended except in those rare cases where the 'password' parameter is intended to be public.

When you want to get each part of the userinfo, you need to use the specific methods in the specific URL. It depends on the specific URL.

Returns:
the URI character sequence

getEscapedURI

public String getEscapedURI()
It can be gotten the URI character sequence. It's escaped. For the purpose of the protocol to be transported, it will be useful.

Returns:
the escaped URI string

getURI

public String getURI()
              throws URIException
It can be gotten the URI character sequence.

Returns:
the original URI string
Throws:
URIException - incomplete trailing escape pattern or unsupported character encoding
See Also:
decode(char[], String)

getRawURIReference

public char[] getRawURIReference()
Get the URI reference character sequence.

Returns:
the URI reference character sequence

getEscapedURIReference

public String getEscapedURIReference()
Get the escaped URI reference string.

Returns:
the escaped URI reference string

public String getURIReference()
                       throws URIException
Get the original URI reference string.

Returns:
the original URI reference string
Throws:
URIException - If decode(char[], String) fails.

toString

public String toString()
Get the escaped URI string.

On the document, the URI-reference form is only used without the userinfo component like http://jakarta.apache.org/ by the security reason. But the URI-reference form with the userinfo component could be parsed.

In other words, this URI and any its subclasses must not expose the URI-reference expression with the userinfo component like http://user:password@hostport/restricted_zone.
It means that the API client programmer should extract each user and password to access manually. Probably it will be supported in the each subclass, however, not a whole URI-reference expression.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
the escaped URI string

clone()
