Interface EncodingAlgorithmAttributes

    • Method Detail

      • getAlgorithmURI

        String getAlgorithmURI​(int index)
        Return the URI of the encoding algorithm.

        If the algorithm data corresponds to a built-in encoding algorithm then the null is returned.

        If the algorithm data corresponds to an application-defined encoding algorithm then the URI of the algorithm is returned.

        If getAlgorithmData(int) returns null then the result of this method is undefined.

        Parameters:
        index - The attribute index (zero-based).
        Returns:
        The URI. If the index is out of range then null is returned.
      • getAlgorithmIndex

        int getAlgorithmIndex​(int index)
        Return the index of the encoding algorithm.

        If getAlgorithmData(int) returns null then the result of this method is undefined.

        Parameters:
        index - The attribute index (zero-based).
        Returns:
        The algorithm index. If index is out of range then -1 is returned.

      • getAlgorithmData

        Object getAlgorithmData​(int index)
        Return the data of the encoding algorithm.

        If the algorithm data corresponds to a built-in encoding algorithm then an Object corresponding to the Java primitive type is returned.

        If the algorithm data corresponds to an application-defined encoding algorithm then an Object that is an instance of byte[] is returned if there is no EncodingAlgorithm registered for the application-defined encoding algorithm URI. Otherwise, an Object produced from the registeredEncodingAlgorithm is returned.

        If there no encoding algorithm data associated an attribute then null is returned.

        Parameters:
        index - The attribute index (zero-based).
        Returns:
        The data. If the index is out of range then null is returned.
      • getAlpababet

        String getAlpababet​(int index)
        Return the alphabet associated with the attribute value.
        Parameters:
        index - The attribute index (zero-based).
        Returns:
        The alphabet. If the index is out of range then null is returned. If there is is no alphabet then null is returned.
      • getToIndex

        boolean getToIndex​(int index)
        Return the whether the attribute value should be indexed or not.
        Parameters:
        index - The attribute index (zero-based).
        Returns:
        True if attribute value should be indexed, otherwise false.
