org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security.authorization.GlobPattern

GlobPattern defines a simplistic pattern matching. It consists of a mandatory (leading) path and an optional "glob" that may contain one or more wildcard characters ("*") according to the glob matching defined by {@link javax.jcr.Node#getNodes(String[])}. In contrast to that method the GlobPattern operates on path (not only names).

Please note the following special cases:

 NodePath     |   Restriction   |   Matches ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- /foo         |   null          |   matches /foo and all children of /foo /foo         |   ""            |   matches /foo only

Examples including wildcard char:

 NodePath = "/foo" Restriction   |   Matches ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- *         |   all siblings of foo and foo's and the siblings' descendants /*cat     |   all children of /foo whose path ends with "cat" /*/cat    |   all non-direct descendants of /foo named "cat" /cat*     |   all descendant path of /foo that have the direct foo-descendant segment starting with "cat" *cat      |   all siblings and descendants of foo that have a name ending with cat */cat     |   all descendants of /foo and foo's siblings that have a name segment "cat" cat/*     |   all descendants of '/foocat' /cat/*    |   all descendants of '/foo/cat' *cat/*    |   all descendants of /foo that have an intermediate segment ending with 'cat'
