Implementation of EndpointHelper.matchPattern() method is inconsistent
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CAMEL-2861
URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-2861
Project: Apache Camel
Issue Type: Bug
Components: camel-core
Affects Versions: 2.3.0
Reporter: Fintan Bolton
Fix For: 2.4.0
The current implementation of {{EndpointHelper.matchPattern()}} is
inconsistent, because it tries to combine glob-style wildcards and regex
matching in a single function. Currently, if you pass a pattern such as
{{name*}}, this will match any string with the prefix, {{name}}. Any other
pattern will be interpreted as a regex. This is pretty confusing and
non-intuitive. It would be better to split this into two separate functions
like {{wildcardMatch()}} and {{regexMatch()} and to call whichever of these
functions makes sense, depending on the context.
I came across this issue while documenting the {{removeHeaders()}} method,
which takes a pattern as its argument.,
