Method Detail

equal

java.lang.Boolean equal(java.net.URI u1,
                        java.net.URI u2)
                        throws URIResolutionException

Test whether two URIs identify the same resource.

Note that this is a more extensive test than URI#equals(). If the service reports two URIs to be equal, then they are definitively known to refer to the same resource - even if they differ syntactically. If the operation returns null, then the service cannot definitively test the equality of the URIs.

Parameters:

u1 - a URI to compare

u2 - another URI to compare

Returns:

Boolean.TRUE if the two URIs are definitively known to refer to the same resource. Boolean.FALSE if the two URIs are known to refer to different resources. null if the URIs cannot be compared by the service.

Throws:

NoSuchURIException - if the URI is definitively known not to represent a resource.

URIGoneException - if the URI existed in the past but nothing is currently known about it.

URINotFoundException - URI exists but there is no available output from this operation.

URIResolutionException - If another problem prevents resolution of the URI.
