Class SimonPattern

java.lang.Object
  org.javasimon.SimonPattern

public final class SimonPattern
extends Object

Matches Simon name patterns from configuration. Patterns can contain wildcard (*) that can be placed in following fashions:

• empty string matches only Manager.ROOT_SIMON_NAME (root Simon)
• * - matches anything
• something - matches exactly something
• *something - matches if tested name ends with something
• something* - matches if tested name starts with something
• *something* - matches if tested name contains something anywhere
• something*else - matches if tested name starts with something and ends with else
• anything else will throw SimonException with the message about invalid Simon pattern

Without wildcard exact match is required. Every wildcarded pattern always matches with the same string without wildcards (in other words - wildcards matches with nothing as well).
