Default implementation of the Rules interface that supports the standard rule matching behavior. This class can also be used as a base class for specialized Rules implementations.

The matching policies implemented by this class support two different types of pattern matching rules:

  • Exact Match - A pattern "a/b/c" exactly matches a <c> element, nested inside a <b> element, which is nested inside an <a> element.
  • Tail Match - A pattern "*/a/b" matches a <b> element, nested inside an <a> element, no matter how deeply the pair is nested.

Note that wildcard patterns are ignored if an explicit match can be found (and when multiple wildcard patterns match, only the longest, ie most explicit, pattern is considered a match).

See the package documentation for package org.apache.commons.digester for more information.
