public FileBackedDictionary()

Method Detail

install

public static void install(FileManager fileManager,
                           FileDictionaryElementFactory factory)

Construct a Dictionary that retrieves file data from fileManager. A client can use this to create a Dictionary backed by a RemoteFileManager.

See Also:

RemoteFileManager

install

public static void install(FileManager fileManager,
                           MorphologicalProcessor morph,
                           FileDictionaryElementFactory factory)

Construct a Dictionary that retrieves file data from fileManager. If enableCaching is true, lookup operations will check the relavant cache before doing a lookup and will cache their results after doing a lookup.

install

public static void install(FileManager fileManager,
                           FileDictionaryElementFactory factory,
                           boolean enableCaching)

install

public static void install(FileManager fileManager,
                           MorphologicalProcessor morph,
                           FileDictionaryElementFactory factory,
                           boolean enableCaching)

install

public void install(Map params)
             throws JWNLException

Install a FileBackedDictionary from a map of parameters. The keys are chose from the static variables above.

Throws:

JWNLException

close

public void close()

Description copied from class: Dictionary

Shut down the dictionary

Specified by:

close in class Dictionary

getFileManager

protected FileManager getFileManager()

Get the file manager that backs this database.

getDictionaryElementFactory

public FileDictionaryElementFactory getDictionaryElementFactory()

getIndexWordIterator

public Iterator getIndexWordIterator(POS pos)
                              throws JWNLException

Description copied from class: Dictionary

Return an Iterator over all the IndexWords of part-of-speech pos in the database.

Specified by:

getIndexWordIterator in class Dictionary

Parameters:

pos - The part-of-speech

Returns:

An iterator over IndexWords

Throws:

JWNLException

getIndexWordIterator

public Iterator getIndexWordIterator(POS pos,
                                     String substring)
                              throws JWNLException
