Method Detail

generateUrl

public static String generateUrl(String server,
                                 String path,
                                 String params,
                                 String fragment)
                          throws URISyntaxException

Generates a URL using the server, path, paramters, and fragment items. The URL will be constructed by basic concatenations (with some glue):
server + path + "?" + params + "#" + fragment Notes:

• The method will make sure there is 1-and-only-1 slash between the server and the path
• The method will perform the proper encoding of the server and path fields
• If the params string is empty, the '?' will not be added
• If the fragment is empty, the '#' will not be added

Parameters:

server - (required) the server: i.e. "http://source.pentaho.org/"

path - (required) the path for that server: i.e. "/viewvc/pentaho-reporting"

params - (optional) any URL parameters to pass (already encoded): i.e. parameter=a+value+with+spaces&x=y

fragment - (optional) any fragment information to be appended to the URL

Returns:

the URL generated from the parameters

Throws:

URISyntaxException - indicates an error trying to combine the fields
