The old URL is used as the validation base. For example, if the new URL does not have the correct file extension, the old URL extension may be added to the new URL during the validation process.

Specified by:

validate in interface Recognizer

Parameters:

newURL - the new URL to validate.

oldURL - the old URL used as the validation base.

Returns:

the validated URL or null if the name does not validate.

Throws:

canConvert

public boolean canConvert(java.net.URL oldURL,
                          java.net.URL newURL)

Description copied from interface: Recognizer

Check if the old URL can be converted to the new URL. This method is called on the new URL's Recognizer. It is called when a Node is being renamed and the new name causes a Node type conversion. If the call to Recognizer.canConvert(URL, URL) returns true, the Node conversion will go through, otherwise, it will not.

Specified by:

canConvert in interface Recognizer

Parameters:

oldURL - the url of the node being renamed.

newURL - the new url for the node.

Returns:

true if conversion is possible.
