           Replaces all occurences of macros in the string Examples: stringWithMacros = "%%a%% = %%b%% + %%c%%"; macros = {{"a", "5"}, {"b", "2"}, {"c", "3"}} result: "5 = 2 + 3" stringWithMacros = "%%a%% = %%b%% + %%c%%"; macros = {{"a", "6"}, {"b", "%%c%%"}, {"c", "3"}} result: "6 = 3 + 3" stringWithMacros = "%%a%% = %%b%% + %%c%%"; macros = {{"a", "6"}, {"b", "%%c%%"}, {"c", "%%b%%"}} result: thrown IllegalArgumentException - recursion found
 static StringgetPrefix(String str, char separator)
           Returns prefix of the line Example: getPrefix ("WebLogic.PublicID", '.') will return "WebLogic" getPrefix ("WebLogic.PublicID", ',') will return "WebLogic.PublicID"
 static Stringreplace(String source, String searchFor, String replaceWith)
           Replaces a part(s) of the source string by new contents The method replaces all occurences of searchFor in original string.
 static StringreplaceMacro(String source, String macroName, String macroValue)
           Calls replace method to replace all occurence of source macroName rounded with mySpecDelimiter by macroValue.

Method Detail

expandString

public static String expandString(String stringWithMacros, Properties macros)
                            throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Replaces all occurences of macros in the string Examples: stringWithMacros = "%%a%% = %%b%% + %%c%%"; macros = {{"a", "5"}, {"b", "2"}, {"c", "3"}} result: "5 = 2 + 3" stringWithMacros = "%%a%% = %%b%% + %%c%%"; macros = {{"a", "6"}, {"b", "%%c%%"}, {"c", "3"}} result: "6 = 3 + 3" stringWithMacros = "%%a%% = %%b%% + %%c%%"; macros = {{"a", "6"}, {"b", "%%c%%"}, {"c", "%%b%%"}} result: thrown IllegalArgumentException - recursion found
Parameters:
stringWithMacros - - original string
macros - - properties table with macro name-values pairs
Returns: expanded string
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - in case of recursive definition of macros

getPrefix

public static String getPrefix(String str, char separator)
Returns prefix of the line Example: getPrefix ("WebLogic.PublicID", '.') will return "WebLogic" getPrefix ("WebLogic.PublicID", ',') will return "WebLogic.PublicID"

replace

public static String replace(String source, String searchFor, String replaceWith)
Replaces a part(s) of the source string by new contents The method replaces all occurences of searchFor in original string. It means that after first replacing new text (replaceWith) will not be searched for searchFor, and it's possible to make replacement of "%%tag%%" by "%%tag%%%%tag%%" without getting of infinitive cycle.
Parameters:
source - a source string
searchFor - a string which should be replaced
replaceWith - a string which replaces searchFor

replaceMacro

public static String replaceMacro(String source, String macroName, String macroValue)
Calls replace method to replace all occurence of source macroName rounded with mySpecDelimiter by macroValue. Example, if macroName is "dir", then "%%dir%%" string occurences will be under replacement by macroValue
