mSearch.tool.AbsoluteFromRelativeURI

public class AbsoluteFromRelativeURI
extends java.lang.Object

Method Detail

getAbsoluteURIFromRelative

public static java.lang.String getAbsoluteURIFromRelative(java.lang.String localPath)

Get an absolute URI from a given relative URI (local path).

The relative URI is a local filesystem path. The path can be absolute or relative. If it is a relative path, it is resolved relative to the system property "user.dir" if it is available; if not (i.e. in an Applet perhaps which throws SecurityException) then we just return the relative path. The space and backslash characters are also replaced to generate a good absolute URI.

Parameters:

localPath - The relative URI to resolve

Returns:

Resolved absolute URI

isAbsolutePath

public static boolean isAbsolutePath(java.lang.String systemId)

Return true if the local path is an absolute path.

Parameters:

systemId - The path string

Returns:

true if the path is absolute
