Method Detail

• public static java.lang.String appendPiecesForUri(java.lang.String... pieces)

  Takes any number of Strings and appends them into a uri, making sure that a forward slash is inserted between each piece and making sure that no duplicate slashes are in the uri

   Input: ""
   Output: ""
  
   Input: "/alpha", "/beta", "/gamma"
   Output: "/alpha/beta/gamma
  
   Input: "/alpha/, "/beta/", "/gamma"
   Output: "/alpha/beta/gamma
  
   Input: "/alpha/", "/beta/", "/gamma/"
   Output "/alpha/beta/gamma/
  
   Input: "alpha", "beta", "gamma"
   Output: "alpha/beta/gamma
   

  Parameters:

  pieces - Strings to concatenate together into a uri

  Returns:

  a uri

• public static java.lang.String applyRelativePath(java.lang.String path, java.lang.String relativePath)

  Apply the given relative path to the given path, assuming standard Java folder separation (i.e. "/" separators).

  Parameters:

  path - the path to start from (usually a full file path)

  relativePath - the relative path to apply (relative to the full file path above)

  Returns:

  the full file path that results from applying the relative path

• public static java.lang.String classPackageAsResourcePath(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

  Given an input class object, return a string which consists of the class's package name as a pathname, i.e., all dots ('.') are replaced by slashes ('/'). Neither a leading nor trailing slash is added. The result could be concatenated with a slash and the name of a resource and fed directly to ClassLoader.getResource(). For it to be fed to Class.getResource instead, a leading slash would also have to be prepended to the returned value.

  Parameters:

  clazz - the input class. A null value or the default (empty) package will result in an empty string ("") being returned.

  Returns:

  a path which represents the package name

  See Also:

  java.lang.ClassLoader#getResource

  java.lang.Class#getResource

• public static java.lang.String cleanPath(java.lang.String path)

  Parameters:

  path - the original path

  Returns:

  the normalized path
