PathUri (JavaDocs for mmm-all dev-SNAPSHOT)

All Known Implementing Classes:: PathUriImpl

public interface PathUri

This interface represents an URI pointing to the location of a Path. A PathUri can be represented as string but consists of two parts: a scheme-prefix and a path .
Here are some examples:

`URI`	`scheme-prefix`	`path`
file:///tmp/config.xml	file://	/tmp/config.xml
http://m-m-m.sourceforge.net/maven/index.html	http://	m-m-m.sourceforge.net/maven/index.html
classpath:net/sf/mmm/util/beans-core.xml	classpath:	net/sf/mmm/util/beans-core.xml
/home/mmm/.profile	<null>	/home/mmm/.profile
../foo/bar.ext	<null>	../foo/bar.ext
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts	<null>	C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

- Method Detail
  - getUri
```
String getUri()
```
    This method gets this PathUri as string.
    
    Returns:
    
    the URI as string.
  - getSchemePrefix
```
String getSchemePrefix()
```
    This method gets the scheme-prefix of a qualified PathUri. The scheme-prefix has the following form: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\\.\\-+]+:(//)?. The part before the colon (:) is called the scheme.
    Examples for scheme-prefixes are:
    - classpath:
    - file://
    - http://
    - https://
    - ftp://
    Returns:
    
    the schemePrefix or null if this PathUri is unqualified.
  - getPath
```
String getPath()
```
    This method gets the path of this PathUri. It is the part of the URI after the scheme-prefix.
    
    Returns:
