Class HasMailAttributeWithValue

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.mailet.GenericMatcher
      org.apache.james.transport.matchers.HasMailAttributeWithValue

All Implemented Interfaces:

Matcher, MatcherConfig

public class HasMailAttributeWithValue
extends GenericMatcher

This Matcher determines if the mail contains the attribute specified in the condition and if the value answered when the method toString() is invoked on the attribute is equal to the String value specified in the condition. If both tests are true, all recipients are returned, else null.

Notes:

The current matcher implementation expects a single String value to match on. This matcher requires two values, the attribute name and attribute value. This requires some implicit rules to govern how the single value supplied to the matcher is parsed into two values.

• In the match condition, the split between the attribute name and the attribute value is made at the first comma. Attribute names that include a comma will parse incorrectly and therefore are not supported by this matcher.
• Leading and trailing spaces are removed from both the attribute name and attribute value specified in the condition and the tested attribute value in the mail prior to matching. Therefore, "abc" , " abc", "abc " and " abc " are considered equivalent.
• To test for an empty string, do not specify an attribute value after the comma.

Sample configuration:

 <mailet match="HasMailAttributeWithValue=name, value" class="<any-class>">

                           throws javax.mail.MessagingException

Answers the recipients of the mail if the attribute is present, and has a toString() value equal to the configured value.

Specified by:

match in interface Matcher

Specified by:

match in class GenericMatcher

Parameters:

mail - - the Mail object that contains the MimeMessage and routing information

Returns:

java.util.Collection - the recipients that the mailet container should have the mailet affect.

Throws:

MessagingException - - if an message or address parsing exception occurs or an exception that interferes with the matcher's normal operation

Matcher.match(Mail)

getAttributeName

protected java.lang.String getAttributeName()

Returns the attributeName.

Returns:

String

getAttributeValue

protected java.lang.String getAttributeValue()

Returns the attributeValue.

Returns:

String

setAttributeName

protected void setAttributeName(java.lang.String attributeName)

Sets the attributeName.

Parameters:

attributeName - The attributeName to set

setAttributeValue

protected void setAttributeValue(java.lang.String attributeValue)

Sets the attributeValue.

Parameters:

attributeValue - The attributeValue to set

init

public void init(MatcherConfig config)
          throws javax.mail.MessagingException

Description copied from class: GenericMatcher

Called by the matcher container to indicate to a matcher that the matcher is being placed into service.

This implementation stores the MatcherConfig object it receives from the matcher container for alter use. When overriding this form of the method, call super.init(config).

Specified by:

init in interface Matcher

Overrides:

init in class GenericMatcher

Parameters:

config - - a MatcherConfig object containing the matcher's configuration and initialization parameters

Throws:

javax.mail.MessagingException - if an exception occurs that interrupts the matcher's normal operation

See Also:

Matcher.init(MatcherConfig)

getMatcherInfo

public java.lang.String getMatcherInfo()

Return a string describing this matcher.

Specified by:

getMatcherInfo in interface Matcher

Overrides:

getMatcherInfo in class GenericMatcher

Returns:

a string describing this matcher
