Understanding the Sun Match Engine

Priority Indicators

The priority indicator is a numeric value following the pattern modifier that indicates the priority weight of the pattern. These values work best when defined as a multiple of five between and including 35 and 95. If a pattern is assigned a priority of 90 or 95 and the pattern matches, or is a sub-pattern of, the input pattern, the match engine stops searching for additional matching patterns and uses the high-priority matching pattern.
