Hi, I noticed the new WildcardMatcherHelper class holds an internal static map for caching. In the older solution, it was up to the caller to cache the compiled pattern (similar to how regexp libraries work). This had the advantage that the caller itself can decide whether the pattern should be cached. It also avoids a potential memory leak if this code is used to evaluate always-changing patterns, and avoids the need to do hashmap lookups.
So I'm wondering if anyone would mind if I change it back so that caller caches the pattern? Thanks for any input. -- Bruno Dumon http://outerthought.org/ Outerthought - Open Source, Java & XML Competence Support Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
