Maintains a List of ConfigAttributeDefinition s associated with different HTTP request
URL regular expression patterns.Regular expressions are used to match a HTTP request URL against a
ConfigAttributeDefinition .
The order of registering the regular expressions using the
RegExpBasedFilterInvocationDefinitionMap.addSecureUrl(String,ConfigAttributeDefinition) is very important. The system will identify the first matching regular
expression for a given HTTP URL. It will not proceed to evaluate later regular expressions if a match has already
been found. Accordingly, the most specific regular expressions should be registered first, with the most general
regular expressions registered last.
If no registered regular expressions match the HTTP URL, null is returned.
