## com.bea.netuix.clipper
Interface IClipStrategy

    public interface IClipStrategy

Interface for clipping a web page. The exact strategy used for a portlet depends on how the preferences for that portlet are set.

If ClipperConstants.CLIP_CUSTOM_CLASS_PREFERENCE is set, and the value is the fully-qualified name of a class that can be found in the classpath, and which has a no-argument constructor, then that class will be used to clip for a portlet. If this preference is set, then any values of the preferences ClipperConstants.CLIP_XPATH_PREFERENCE, ClipperConstants.CLIP_START_REGEX_PREFERENCE, and ClipperConstants.CLIP_END_REGEX_PREFERENCE will be ignored.
Otherwise, if ClipperConstants.CLIP_XPATH_PREFERENCE is set, then that value will be taken as an XPath expression, and applied to the original page markup.
Otherwise, if both ClipperConstants.CLIP_START_REGEX_PREFERENCE and ClipperConstants.CLIP_END_REGEX_PREFERENCE are set, then all text between the first appearance of the start value, and the last index of the end value, inclusively, will be clipped.

For example, if your markup reads `123abcdef123abc`, and your start regex was `123`, and your end regex was `abc`, then the clipped output would be `123abc`. If your markup is `123abcdef123abc`, your start regex was `abc`, and your end regex was `f123`, then the clipped output would be `abcdef123`.

Otherwise, the page will not be clipped at all, and the clipper portlet will display the whole remote page.
