Class RuleBasedSubstringMatcher

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.SimpleCollation

net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.RuleBasedSubstringMatcher

All Implemented Interfaces:

StringCollator, SubstringMatcher

public class RuleBasedSubstringMatcher
extends SimpleCollation
implements SubstringMatcher

This class wraps a RuleBasedCollator to provide a SubstringMatcher. This users the facilities offered by the RuleBasedCollator to implement the XPath functions contains(), starts-with(), ends-with(), substring-before(), and substring-after().

Constructor Detail

RuleBasedSubstringMatcher

public RuleBasedSubstringMatcher(RuleBasedCollator collator)

Create a RuleBasedSubstringMatcher

Parameters:

collator - the collation to be used

Method Detail

contains

public boolean contains(String s1,
               String s2)

Test whether one string contains another, according to the rules of the XPath contains() function

Specified by:

contains in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

true iff s1 contains s2

endsWith

public boolean endsWith(String s1,
               String s2)

Test whether one string ends with another, according to the rules of the XPath ends-with() function

Specified by:

endsWith in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

true iff s1 ends with s2

startsWith

public boolean startsWith(String s1,
                 String s2)

Test whether one string starts with another, according to the rules of the XPath starts-with() function

Specified by:

startsWith in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

true iff s1 starts with s2

substringAfter

public String substringAfter(String s1,
                    String s2)

Return the part of a string after a given substring, according to the rules of the XPath substring-after() function

Specified by:

substringAfter in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

the part of s1 that follows the first occurrence of s2

substringBefore

public String substringBefore(String s1,
                     String s2)

Return the part of a string before a given substring, according to the rules of the XPath substring-before() function

Specified by:

substringBefore in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

the part of s1 that precedes the first occurrence of s2

getCollationKey

public AtomicMatchKey getCollationKey(String s)

Get a collation key for two Strings. The essential property of collation keys is that if two values are equal under the collation, then the collation keys are compare correctly under the equals() method.

Specified by:

getCollationKey in interface StringCollator

Overrides:

getCollationKey in class SimpleCollation

Parameters:

s - the string whose collation key is required

Returns:

the collation key

main

public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws Exception

Test program to output the sequence of collation element iterators for a given input string

Parameters:

args - command line arguments (collationURI, test-string)

Throws:

Exception
