## Interface RewriteMap

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    InternalRewriteMap.Escape, InternalRewriteMap.LowerCase, InternalRewriteMap.Unescape, InternalRewriteMap.UpperCase

      public interface RewriteMap

  Interface for user defined lookup/replacement logic that can be defined in a `rewrite.config` file by a `RewriteMap` directive. Such a map can then be used by a `RewriteRule` defined in the same file.

  An example `rewrite.config` file could look like:

       RewriteMap uc example.UpperCaseMap

       RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ ${uc:$1}

  One parameter can be optionally appended to the `RewriteMap` directive. This could be used – for example – to specify a name of a file, that contains a lookup table used by the implementation of the map.

- - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `String` | `lookup(String key)` Maps a key to a replacement value.
    `default void` | `setParameters(String... params)` Optional parameters that can be defined through the `RewriteMap` directive in the `rewrite.config` file.
    `String` | `setParameters(String params)` Optional parameter that can be defined through the `RewriteMap` directive in the `rewrite.config` file.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### setParameters

          String setParameters(String params)

      Optional parameter that can be defined through the `RewriteMap` directive in the `rewrite.config` file.
      Parameters:
        `params` - the optional parameter
      Returns:
        value is currently ignored

    - #### setParameters

          default void setParameters(String... params)

      Optional parameters that can be defined through the `RewriteMap` directive in the `rewrite.config` file.

      This method will be called, if there are more than one parameters defined.

      Parameters:
        `params` - the optional parameters

    - #### lookup

          String lookup(String key)

      Maps a key to a replacement value.
      The method is free to return `null` to indicate, that the default value from the `RewriteRule` directive should be used.
      Parameters:
        `key` - used by the actual implementation to generate a mapped value
      Returns:
        mapped value or `null`
