Class DoubleMetaphone

java.lang.Object

com.epam.reportportal.apache.commons.codec.language.DoubleMetaphone

All Implemented Interfaces:

Encoder, StringEncoder

public class DoubleMetaphone
extends java.lang.Object
implements StringEncoder

Encodes a string into a double metaphone value. This Implementation is based on the algorithm by Lawrence Philips.

This class is conditionally thread-safe. The instance field maxCodeLen is mutable setMaxCodeLen(int) but is not volatile, and accesses are not synchronized. If an instance of the class is shared between threads, the caller needs to ensure that suitable synchronization is used to ensure safe publication of the value between threads, and must not invoke setMaxCodeLen(int) after initial setup.

DoubleMetaphone

public DoubleMetaphone()

Creates an instance of this DoubleMetaphone encoder

Method Detail

doubleMetaphone

public java.lang.String doubleMetaphone(java.lang.String value)

Encode a value with Double Metaphone.

Parameters:

value - String to encode

Returns:

an encoded string

doubleMetaphone

public java.lang.String doubleMetaphone(java.lang.String value,
                                        boolean alternate)

Encode a value with Double Metaphone, optionally using the alternate encoding.

Parameters:

value - String to encode

alternate - use alternate encode

Returns:

an encoded string

encode

public java.lang.Object encode(java.lang.Object obj)
                        throws EncoderException

Encode the value using DoubleMetaphone. It will only work if obj is a String (like Metaphone).

Specified by:

encode in interface Encoder

Parameters:

obj - Object to encode (should be of type String)

Returns:

An encoded Object (will be of type String)

Throws:

EncoderException - encode parameter is not of type String

encode

public java.lang.String encode(java.lang.String value)

Encode the value using DoubleMetaphone.

Specified by:

encode in interface StringEncoder

Parameters:

value - String to encode

Returns:

An encoded String

isDoubleMetaphoneEqual

public boolean isDoubleMetaphoneEqual(java.lang.String value1,
                                      java.lang.String value2)

Check if the Double Metaphone values of two String values are equal.

Parameters:

value1 - The left-hand side of the encoded String.equals(Object).

value2 - The right-hand side of the encoded String.equals(Object).

Returns:

true if the encoded Strings are equal; false otherwise.

isDoubleMetaphoneEqual

public boolean isDoubleMetaphoneEqual(java.lang.String value1,
                                      java.lang.String value2,
                                      boolean alternate)

Check if the Double Metaphone values of two String values are equal, optionally using the alternate value.

Parameters:

value1 - The left-hand side of the encoded String.equals(Object).

value2 - The right-hand side of the encoded String.equals(Object).

alternate - use the alternate value if true.

Returns:

true if the encoded Strings are equal; false otherwise.

getMaxCodeLen

public int getMaxCodeLen()

Returns the maxCodeLen.

Returns:

int

setMaxCodeLen

public void setMaxCodeLen(int maxCodeLen)

Sets the maxCodeLen.

Parameters:

maxCodeLen - The maxCodeLen to set

charAt

protected char charAt(java.lang.String value,
                      int index)

Gets the character at index index if available, otherwise it returns Character.MIN_VALUE so that there is some sort of a default.

contains

protected static boolean contains(java.lang.String value,
                                  int start,
                                  int length,
                                  java.lang.String... criteria)

Determines whether value contains any of the criteria starting at index start and matching up to length length.
