  - matches
```
boolean matches(java.lang.String uri)
```
    Parameters:
    
    uri - A "contextual" (i.e. relative) and "normalized" Request URI, *not* a complete one.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns true if the uri matches the pattern.
  - extractPath
```
java.lang.String extractPath(java.lang.String pattern)
```
    Parameters:
    
    pattern - The Path that this service pattern can match against.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns a canonical servlet path from this pattern. For instance, if the pattern is /home/* then the path extracted will be /home. Each pattern matcher implementation must decide and publish what a canonical path represents.

```
UriPatternType getPatternType()
```
    Returns the type of pattern this is.
