Method Detail

parse

public static List<MessageParamParser.MessageParamInfo> parse(String propertyName,
                                                              String input)

Splits the input string into message param informations.

The expected format is a comma separated list of placeholderId:ognlPath strings. The OGNL path may be missing, in this case the placeholderId alone.

Example: 0:user.name,4,3:user.id.

Spaces between tokens are removed.

If the input string is null or empty, the empty list is returned.

Parameters:

propertyName - the name of the property whose message parameter is to be parsed.

input - the input string to parse.

Returns:

the list of message parameter infos.

ParseException - if the input is violating the expected syntax.
