Class CSSStrException

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable
    public class CSSStrException
extends TCCompareStrException
    An exception used for problems generated by either HTML-Tag in-line CSS STYLE='...' attributes, or by explicitly declared CSS <STYLE TYPE='text/css'> style-blocks.

    This class does some passed-parameter checking for the HTML-Search routines. If one is using the class TextComparitor, it is important to remember that it usually works in coordination with Java's var-args syntax which allows anywhere from '0' to 'n' String's. This class of exception will be thrown if any one of the String's passed to the var-args parameter with the TextComparitor them has an invalid CSS Token according to the definition of valid CSS Naming-Convention Tokens.

    NOTE:
    This exception test is only performed when a TextComparitor is used with one of the TagNode CSS 'class' getter and setter methods, for example: TagNode.setCSSClasses​(SD, boolean, String[])

    This class provides some public final "inspection & convenience" fields which should guarantee to avoid having null values when this Exception is thrown by an internal method. If as a programmer, you intended to extend use of this class, make sure to pass valid-information & valid-data, to the constructors of this class.

        public static final long serialVersionUID
        This fulfils the SerialVersion UID requirement for all classes that implement Java's interface java.io.Serializable. Using the Serializable Implementation offered by java is very easy, and can make saving program state when debugging a lot easier. It can also be used in place of more complicated systems like "hibernate" to store data as well.

        Note that Java's java.lang.Exception and java.lang.Error classes implement the Serializable interface, and a warning-free build expects this field be defined here.

        public static final java.util.regex.Pattern VALID_CSS_CLASS_OR_NAME_TOKEN
        This regular-expression can be used to identify valid versus invalid CSS Class-Names, and also CSS ID-Names. In English, this regular-expression says: A valid name should start with an underscore (_), a hyphen (-) or a letter (a-z) which is followed by any numbers, hyphens, underscores, letters. A name should be at least two characters long. Cannot start with a digit, two hyphens or a hyphen followed by a number.

                       java.lang.String[] compareStr,
                       int i)
        This constructor just calls the line: super(message, compareStr, i);
        Parameters:
        message - the detail message.
        compareStr - This SHOULD BE the list of compare-strings that were passed to a TextComparitor that may have contained a null value, or was empty. It is important not to pass null for this parameter, because checking the input to an exception's constructor is not very wise... "Exceptions about Exceptions" is usually unintelligible to a programmer.
        i - This is the index into the compareStr var-args parameter list that cause the exception to throw.

        Parameters:
        message - The detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method).
        cause - This is sometimes used to "chain" exceptions in multi-threaded or heavily I/O related code.
        compareStr - This SHOULD BE the list of compare-strings that were passed to a TextComparitor that may have contained a null value, or was empty. It is important not to pass null for this parameter, because checking the input to an exception's constructor is not very wise...

        public static void check​(java.lang.String... compareStr)
        This will do a simple test of the compare-String's to make sure none of them are null, and that there are at least one String in the array.

        Explanation:
        It is a subtle issue, but likely better to throw exceptions when one of the Varargs to a String comparison is 'null'. Since there is likely no general-convention or agreement on what null in the presence of logical AND, OR, NOT, XOR, NAND really means, throwing a StrCmprException when even one var-args string-parameter is 'null' actually makes the most sense.
        Parameters:
        compareStr - This should be the var-args parameter that was passed to a search method
        Throws:
        CSSStrException - If any of the elements of Var-Args parameter 'compareStr' is null, or if the array is zero-length.
