Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static String	stringToPathSegment(String string)	Method that makes sure that passed in string is valid "path segment" string.
static void	validateArtifactComponents(org.eclipse.aether.artifact.Artifact artifact)	Validates all coordinate components of an Artifact.
static void	validateDotSeparatedPathComponent(String value, String label)	Validates a coordinate component that is expanded into multiple path segments by replacing each dot with a path separator, like the group ID is.
static void	validateMetadataComponents(org.eclipse.aether.metadata.Metadata metadata)	Validates all coordinate components of a Metadata.
static void	validatePathComponent(String value, String label)	Validates that a coordinate component does not contain path traversal sequences or path separator characters that could cause the composed path to escape the local repository directory.

Method Details

stringToPathSegment

public static String stringToPathSegment(String string)

Method that makes sure that passed in string is valid "path segment" string. It achieves it by potentially changing it, replacing illegal characters in it with legal ones.

Note: this method considers empty string as "valid path segment", it is caller duty to ensure empty string is not used as path segment alone.

This method is simplistic on purpose, and if frequently used, best if results are cached (per session)

validatePathComponent

public static void validatePathComponent(String value,
 String label)

Validates that a coordinate component does not contain path traversal sequences or path separator characters that could cause the composed path to escape the local repository directory.

Since:

2.0.21

validateDotSeparatedPathComponent

public static void validateDotSeparatedPathComponent(String value,
 String label)

Validates a coordinate component that is expanded into multiple path segments by replacing each dot with a path separator, like the group ID is. Beside the checks done by validatePathComponent(String, String), it rejects values containing empty dot-separated segments (leading, trailing or consecutive dots), as the expansion of such values does not compose a valid relative path.

Since:

2.0.23

validateArtifactComponents

public static void validateArtifactComponents(org.eclipse.aether.artifact.Artifact artifact)

Validates all coordinate components of an Artifact.
