#2 Investigate whether regex matching will provide necessary functionality for web history event comparisons
Investigate whether changing the straight String.equals comparisons between fields to regex matches will actually facilitate the definition of the rules you need for web history events. Or do we need to expand how the rules work some more?
Lubna's reply: "What i was thinking that the new added xml rule might allow me to compare the domain name (in object feild of evA) in cookie(Action feild in evA) with the corresponding url(Object feild in evB) in cache(ACTION feild in evB) that has the same domain name. Then check if evt B happen before evtA . Based on their given timestamp."
So it seems like at the very least we need to expand the matching to include the action field being compared to the subject/object fields.
I don't think just adding regex support to the event matcher will actually achieve the objective here.
It won't! Need a new feature.
