Class GenericRegexMatcher

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.mailet.base.GenericMatcher
      org.apache.james.transport.matchers.GenericRegexMatcher

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.mailet.Matcher, org.apache.mailet.MatcherConfig

Direct Known Subclasses:

FileRegexMatcher, NESSpamCheck

public abstract class GenericRegexMatcher
extends org.apache.mailet.base.GenericMatcher

This is a generic matcher that uses regular expressions. If any of the regular expressions match, the matcher is considered to have matched. This is an abstract class that must be subclassed to feed patterns. Patterns are provided by calling the compile method. A subclass will generally call compile() once during init(), but it could subclass match(), and call it as necessary during message processing (e.g., if a file of expressions changed).
