Field Detail

fullURL

protected String fullURL

The full version of the URL

URLName

public URLName(String protocol,
               String host,
               int port,
               String file,
               String username,
               String password)

Creates a URLName object from the specified protocol, host, port number, file, username, and password. Specifying a port number of -1 indicates that the URL should use the default port for the protocol.

URLName

public URLName(URL url)

Construct a URLName from a java.net.URL object.

URLName

public URLName(String url)

Construct a URLName from the string. Parses out all the possible information (protocol, host, port, file, username, password).

toString

public String toString()

Constructs a string representation of this URLName.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

parseString

protected void parseString(String url)

Method which does all of the work of parsing the string.

getPort

public int getPort()

Returns the port number of this URLName. Returns -1 if the port is not set.

getProtocol

public String getProtocol()

Returns the protocol of this URLName. Returns null if this URLName has no protocol.

getFile

public String getFile()

Returns the file name of this URLName. Returns null if this URLName has no file name.

getRef

public String getRef()

Returns the reference of this URLName. Returns null if this URLName has no reference.

getHost

public String getHost()

Returns the host of this URLName. Returns null if this URLName has no host.

getUsername

public String getUsername()

Returns the user name of this URLName. Returns null if this URLName has no user name.

getPassword

public String getPassword()

Returns the password of this URLName. Returns null if this URLName has no password.

getURL

public URL getURL()
           throws MalformedURLException

Constructs a URL from the URLName.

Throws:

MalformedURLException

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares two URLNames. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a URLName object that represents the same URLName as this object. Two URLName objects are equal if they have the same protocol and the same host, the same port number on the host, the same username, and the same file on the host. The fields (host, username, file) are also considered the same if they are both null.

Hosts are considered equal if the names are equal (case independent) or if host name lookups for them both succeed and they both reference the same IP address.

Note that URLName has no knowledge of default port numbers for particular protocols, so "imap://host" and "imap://host:143" would not compare as equal.

Note also that the password field is not included in the comparison, nor is any reference field appended to the filename.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Compute the hash code for this URLName.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
