Christopher L. Shannon updated ARTEMIS-1403:
--------------------------------------------
Description:
Here is what I originally posted on the dev list. There is a bug with wildcard
matching that will return a string is a match to a pattern even though the last
delimiter is missing.
>From my original post:
{quote}I noticed a difference with wildcard matching in Artemis from 5.x and I
think the Artemis version is wrong.
Let's take the following wildcard pattern as an example in Artemis: a.b.c.#
Pattern Matches?
a.b.c yes
a.b.c.d yes
a.b.cabd yes
Example in ActiveMQ 5.x: a.b.c.>
Pattern Matches?
a.b.c yes
a.b.c.d yes
a.b.cabd no
It does not make sense to me that a.b.cabd would match a.b.c.#. This happens
because the matching logic just replaces .# with .* in a regex matching pattern
so it matches 0 or many characters. There is a delimiter there so I think the
5.x approach is correct. Also maybe we should allow user's to be able to plug
in custom matching logic to override the default? (This is something i can do
in a PR){quote}
The one exception that should still apply is that '#' means 0 or more words so
a.b.c.# should still match a.b.c for example. It would also still be nice to
be able to plug in custom matching logic if a user has custom requirements but
that would be done in a different PR.
