public class URI
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

A class to represent a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). This class is designed to handle the parsing of URIs and provide access to the various components (scheme, host, port, userinfo, path, query string and fragment) that may constitute a URI.

Parsing of a URI specification is done according to the URI syntax described in RFC 2396 . Every URI consists of a scheme, followed by a colon (':'), followed by a scheme-specific part. For URIs that follow the "generic URI" syntax, the scheme- specific part begins with two slashes ("//") and may be followed by an authority segment (comprised of user information, host, and port), path segment, query segment and fragment. Note that RFC 2396 no longer specifies the use of the parameters segment and excludes the "user:password" syntax as part of the authority segment. If "user:password" appears in a URI, the entire user/password string is stored as userinfo.

For URIs that do not follow the "generic URI" syntax (e.g. mailto), the entire scheme-specific part is treated as the "path" portion of the URI.

Note that, unlike the java.net.URL class, this class does not provide any built-in network access functionality nor does it provide any scheme-specific functionality (for example, it does not know a default port for a specific scheme). Rather, it only knows the grammar and basic set of operations that can be applied to a URI.

Constructor Detail

### URI

    public URI()

  Construct a new and uninitialized URI.

### URI

    public URI(URI p_other)

  Construct a new URI from another URI. All fields for this URI are set equal to the fields of the URI passed in.
  Parameters:
    `p_other` - the URI to copy (cannot be null)

### URI

    public URI(java.lang.String p_uriSpec)
        throws URI.MalformedURIException

  Construct a new URI from a URI specification string. If the specification follows the "generic URI" syntax, (two slashes following the first colon), the specification will be parsed accordingly - setting the scheme, userinfo, host,port, path, query string and fragment fields as necessary. If the specification does not follow the "generic URI" syntax, the specification is parsed into a scheme and scheme-specific part (stored as the path) only.
  Parameters:
    `p_uriSpec` - the URI specification string (cannot be null or empty)
  Throws:
    URI.MalformedURIException - if p_uriSpec violates any syntax rules

### URI

    public URI(URI p_base,
               java.lang.String p_uriSpec)
        throws URI.MalformedURIException

  Construct a new URI from a base URI and a URI specification string. The URI specification string may be a relative URI.
  Parameters:
    `p_base` - the base URI (cannot be null if p_uriSpec is null or empty)
    `p_uriSpec` - the URI specification string (cannot be null or empty if p_base is null)
  Throws:
    URI.MalformedURIException - if p_uriSpec violates any syntax rules

### URI

    public URI(java.lang.String p_scheme,
               java.lang.String p_schemeSpecificPart)
        throws URI.MalformedURIException

  Construct a new URI that does not follow the generic URI syntax. Only the scheme and scheme-specific part (stored as the path) are initialized.
  Parameters:
    `p_scheme` - the URI scheme (cannot be null or empty)
    `p_schemeSpecificPart` - the scheme-specific part (cannot be null or empty)
  Throws:
    URI.MalformedURIException - if p_scheme violates any syntax rules

               java.lang.String p_fragment)
        throws URI.MalformedURIException

  Parameters:
    `p_scheme` - the URI scheme (cannot be null or empty)
    `p_host` - the hostname or IPv4 address for the URI
    `p_path` - the URI path - if the path contains '?' or '#', then the query string and/or fragment will be set from the path; however, if the query and fragment are specified both in the path and as separate parameters, an exception is thrown

    `p_fragment` - the URI fragment (cannot be specified if path is null)
  Throws:
    URI.MalformedURIException - if any of the parameters violates syntax rules or semantic rules

  Parameters:
    `p_userinfo` - the userinfo for this URI
  Throws:
    URI.MalformedURIException - if p_userinfo contains invalid characters

### setHost

    public void setHost(java.lang.String p_host)
                 throws URI.MalformedURIException

  Set the host for this URI. If null is passed in, the userinfo field is also set to null and the port is set to -1.
  Parameters:
    `p_host` - the host for this URI
  Throws:

### setPath

    public void setPath(java.lang.String p_path)
                 throws URI.MalformedURIException

  Set the path for this URI. If the supplied path is null, then the query string and fragment are set to null as well. If the supplied path includes a query string and/or fragment, these fields will be parsed and set as well. Note that, for URIs following the "generic URI" syntax, the path specified should start with a slash. For URIs that do not follow the generic URI syntax, this method sets the scheme-specific part.
  Parameters:
    `p_path` - the path for this URI (may be null)

  Append to the end of the path of this URI. If the current path does not end in a slash and the path to be appended does not begin with a slash, a slash will be appended to the current path before the new segment is added. Also, if the current path ends in a slash and the new segment begins with a slash, the extra slash will be removed before the new segment is appended.
  Parameters:
    `p_addToPath` - the new segment to be added to the current path
  Throws:
    URI.MalformedURIException - if p_addToPath contains syntax errors

  Parameters:
    `p_queryString` - the query string for this URI
  Throws:
    URI.MalformedURIException - if p_queryString is not null and this URI does not conform to the generic URI syntax or if the path is null

  Parameters:
    `p_scheme` - The sheme name to check
  Returns:
    true if the scheme is conformant, false otherwise

### isWellFormedAddress

    public static boolean isWellFormedAddress(java.lang.String p_address)

  Determine whether a string is syntactically capable of representing a valid IPv4 address or the domain name of a network host. A valid IPv4 address consists of four decimal digit groups separated by a '.'. A hostname consists of domain labels (each of which must begin and end with an alphanumeric but may contain '-') separated & by a '.'. See RFC 2396 Section 3.2.2.
  Parameters:
    `p_address` - The address string to check
  Returns:
    true if the string is a syntactically valid IPv4 address or hostname
