      • constantStringLookup

        public StringLookup constantStringLookup()
        Returns the ConstantStringLookup singleton instance to look up the value of a fully-qualified static final value.

        Sometimes it is necessary in a configuration file to refer to a constant defined in a class. This can be done with this lookup implementation. Variable names must be in the format apackage.AClass.AFIELD. The lookup(String) method will split the passed in string at the last dot, separating the fully qualified class name and the name of the constant (i.e. static final) member field. Then the class is loaded and the field's value is obtained using reflection.

        Once retrieved values are cached for fast access. This class is thread-safe. It can be used as a standard (i.e. global) lookup object and serve multiple clients concurrently.

        Using a StringLookup from the StringLookupFactory:

         StringLookupFactory.INSTANCE.constantStringLookup().lookup("java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE");

         StringSubstitutor.createInterpolator().replace("... ${date:yyyy-MM-dd} ..."));

         StringLookupFactory.INSTANCE.urlDecoderStringLookup().lookup("Hello%20World%21");
         

        Using a StringSubstitutor:

         StringSubstitutor.createInterpolator().replace("... ${urlDecoder:Hello%20World%21} ..."));
         

        The above examples convert "Hello%20World%21" to "Hello World!".

        Returns:
        The UrlStringLookup singleton instance.

      • urlEncoderStringLookup

        public StringLookup urlEncoderStringLookup()
        Returns the UrlDecoderStringLookup singleton instance.

        Decodes URL Strings using the UTF-8 encoding.

        For example: "Hello World!" becomes "Hello+World%21".

        Using a StringLookup from the StringLookupFactory:

         StringLookupFactory.INSTANCE.urlEncoderStringLookup().lookup("Hello World!");
         

        Using a StringSubstitutor:

         StringSubstitutor.createInterpolator().replace("... ${urlEncoder:Hello World!} ..."));
         

        The above examples convert "Hello World!" to "Hello%20World%21".

        Returns:
        The UrlStringLookup singleton instance.
        Since:
        1.6
      • urlStringLookup

        public StringLookup urlStringLookup()
        Returns the UrlStringLookup singleton instance.

        Looks up the value for the key in the format "CharsetName:URL".

        For example, using the HTTP scheme: "UTF-8:http://www.google.com"

        For example, using the file scheme: "UTF-8:file:///C:/somehome/commons/commons-text/src/test/resources/document.properties"

        Using a StringLookup from the StringLookupFactory:

         StringLookupFactory.INSTANCE.urlStringLookup().lookup("UTF-8:https://www.apache.org");
         

        Using a StringSubstitutor:

         StringSubstitutor.createInterpolator().replace("... ${url:UTF-8:https://www.apache.org} ..."));
         

        The above examples convert "UTF-8:https://www.apache.org" to the contents of that page.

        Returns:
        The UrlStringLookup singleton instance.
        Since:

        public StringLookup xmlStringLookup()
        Returns the XmlStringLookup singleton instance.

        Looks up the value for the key in the format "DocumentPath:XPath".

        For example: "com/domain/document.xml:/path/to/node".

        Using a StringLookup from the StringLookupFactory:

         StringLookupFactory.INSTANCE.xmlStringLookup().lookup("com/domain/document.xml:/path/to/node");
         

        Using a StringSubstitutor:

         StringSubstitutor.createInterpolator().replace("... ${xml:com/domain/document.xml:/path/to/node} ..."));
         

        The above examples convert "com/domain/document.xml:/path/to/node" to the value of the XPath in the XML document.

        Returns:
        The XmlStringLookup singleton instance.
