        <title>PatternElement type</title>
        <para>The PatternElement type defines single string pattern for file/
                directory matching.</para>
        <para>
                The defining Java class is
                <ulink url="javadoc/net/brutex/xservices/types/PatternElement.html">
                        <classname>net.brutex.xservices.types.PatternElement</classname>
                </ulink>
                .
        </para>
        <para>
                These patterns look exactly like those used in Apache Ant
                <ulink url="http://ant.apache.org/manual/dirtasks.html#patterns">Patterns</ulink>.
                The &apos;*&apos; matches zero or more characters and the
                &apos;?&apos; will match a single character.
                Both symbols can be combined in one pattern. The &apos;**&apos;
                symbol can be used to match any directory deepth.
        </para>
        <para>Some example patterns:</para>
        <para>
                <parameter>**/mydir/**</parameter>
        </para>
        <para>Match all file that are located in any directory that has
                &quot;mydir&quot; string in its pathname. Also applies to files with
                &quot;mydir&quot; in their name.</para>
        <para>
                <parameter>/mydir/</parameter>
        </para>
        <para>The
                parser will automatically append an &apos;**&apos; symbol, thus the
                resulting pattern is
                <parameter>/mydir/**</parameter>.
                All files below the &quot;/mydir/&quot; directory (including its
                sub-directories will be chosen.
        </para>
        <note>
                <para>The pattern is OS independent. You should always use
                        &quot;/&quot; as path separator, even on windows based systems.
