Class PathGlobMatcher


public class PathGlobMatcher extends TemplateSourceMatcher
Matches the whole template source name (also known as template source path) with the given glob. Note that the template source name is relative to the template storage root defined by the TemplateLoader; it's not the full path of a file on the file system.

This glob implementation recognizes ** (Ant-style directory wildcard) among others. For more details see StringUtil.globToRegularExpression(String, boolean).

About the usage of / (slash):

  • You aren't allowed to start the glob with /, because template names (template paths) never start with it.
  • Future FreeMarker versions (compared to 2.3.24) might will support importing whole directories. Directory paths in FreeMarker should end with /. Hence, foo/bar refers to the file {bar}, while foo/bar/ refers to the {bar} directory.

By default the glob is case sensitive, but this can be changed with setCaseInsensitive(boolean) (or caseInsensitive(boolean)).

Since:
2.3.24
