Class UcaCollatorUsingJava

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.UcaCollatorUsingJava

All Implemented Interfaces:

StringCollator, SubstringMatcher

public class UcaCollatorUsingJava
extends java.lang.Object
implements SubstringMatcher

This class implements (an approximation to) the UCA Collation Algorithm relying solely on the built-in Java support (that is, without using the ICU library). This provides a fallback implementation for Saxon-HE, and it is used only when the collation URI does not include the option fallback=no.

Constructor Detail

UcaCollatorUsingJava

public UcaCollatorUsingJava(java.lang.String uri)
                     throws XPathException

Create a collation from a given collation URI

Parameters:

uri - the collation URI, in the format defined in the W3C Functions and Operators specification

Throws:

XPathException - if the collation URI does not conform to the W3C rules, or if it requires features that Saxon-HE does not support

Method Detail

getRuleBasedCollator

public java.text.RuleBasedCollator getRuleBasedCollator()

Get the underlying Java Collator object

Returns:

the underlying Java Collator

getJavaCollationKey

public java.text.CollationKey getJavaCollationKey(java.lang.String source)

Factory method to create a CollationKey that can be used as a proxy for string comparisons under this collation

Parameters:

source - the string whose CollationKey is required

Returns:

a CollationKey with the property that two collation keys are equal (according to its Object.equals(Object) method if their corresponding strings are considered to be equal under this collation

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Get a hash code used to compare two collations. (Probably not used.)

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a suitable hash code

getProperties

public java.util.Properties getProperties()

Get the properties of the collation

Returns:

the properties of the collation

setStrength

public void setStrength(int newStrength)

Set the strength of the collation (primary, secondary, tertiary, etc)

Parameters:

newStrength - the strength

getStrength

public int getStrength()

Get the strength of the collation (primary, secondary, tertiary, etc)

Returns:

the strength

comparesEqual

public boolean comparesEqual(UnicodeString s1,
                             UnicodeString s2)

Ask whether two strings are considered equal under this collation

Specified by:

comparesEqual in interface StringCollator

Parameters:

s1 - the first string

s2 - the second string

Returns:

true if the strings are considered equal

getCollationURI

public java.lang.String getCollationURI()

Get the collation URI corresponding to this collation

Specified by:

getCollationURI in interface StringCollator

Returns:

the collation URI

compareStrings

public int compareStrings(UnicodeString o1,
                          UnicodeString o2)

Compare two strings for equality or ordering under the rules of this collation

Specified by:

compareStrings in interface StringCollator

Parameters:

o1 - the first string

o2 - the second string

Returns:

-1, 0, or +1 according to the relative ordering of the strings

getCollationKey

public AtomicMatchKey getCollationKey(UnicodeString s)

Get a collation key that can be used as a proxy for strings being compared

Specified by:

getCollationKey in interface StringCollator

Parameters:

s - the string whose collation key is required

Returns:

a collation key

contains

public boolean contains(UnicodeString s1,
