Class CaseFirstCollator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    StringCollator

    public class CaseFirstCollator
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements StringCollator
    A StringCollator that sorts lowercase before uppercase, or vice versa.

    Case is irrelevant, unless the strings are equal ignoring case, in which case lowercase comes first.

    • Constructor Detail

      • CaseFirstCollator

        public CaseFirstCollator​(StringCollator base,
                                 boolean upperFirst,
                                 java.lang.String collationURI)
        Create a CaseFirstCollator
        Parameters:
        base - the base collator, which determines how characters are sorted irrespective of case
        upperFirst - true if uppercase precedes lowercase, false otherwise
        collationURI - the URI of the collation
    • Method Detail

      • getCollationURI

        public java.lang.String getCollationURI()
        Get the collation URI. It must be possible to use this collation URI to reconstitute the collation
        Specified by:
        getCollationURI in interface StringCollator
        Returns:
        a collation URI that can be used to reconstruct the collation when an XSLT package is reloaded.
      • compareStrings

        public int compareStrings​(UnicodeString a,
                                  UnicodeString b)
        Compare two string objects: case is irrelevant, unless the strings are equal ignoring case, in which case lowercase comes first.
        Specified by:
        compareStrings in interface StringCollator
        Parameters:
        a - the first string
        b - the second string
        Returns:
        <0 if a<b, 0 if a=b, >0 if a>b
        Throws:
        java.lang.ClassCastException - if the objects are of the wrong type for this Comparer
      • comparesEqual

        public boolean comparesEqual​(UnicodeString s1,
                                     UnicodeString s2)
        Compare two strings for equality. This may be more efficient than using compareStrings and testing whether the result is zero, but it must give the same result
        Specified by:
        comparesEqual in interface StringCollator
        Parameters:
        s1 - the first string
        s2 - the second string
        Returns:
        true if and only if the strings are considered equal,
      • getCollationKey

        public AtomicMatchKey getCollationKey​(UnicodeString s)
        Get a collation key for a String. The essential property of collation keys is that if (and only if) two strings are equal under the collation, then comparing the collation keys using the equals() method must return true.
        Specified by:
        getCollationKey in interface StringCollator
        Parameters:
        s - the string whose collation key is required
        Returns:
        the collation key
