A private constructor, to avoid instance creation of this static class.

Method Detail

isCombiningMark

private static boolean isCombiningMark(char c)

Tells if a char is a combining mark.

Parameters:

c - The char to check

Returns:

true if the char is a combining mark, false otherwise

normalize

public static java.lang.String normalize(java.lang.String str,
                                         PrepareString.StringType type)
                                  throws java.io.IOException

We have to go through 6 steps : 1) Transcode 2) Map 3) Normalize 4) Prohibit 5) Bidi 6) Insignifiant Character Handling The first step is already done, the step (3) is not done.

Parameters:

str - The String to normalize

type - The string type

Returns:

A normalized string.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

map

private static int map(char[] src,
                       char[] target,
                       char lowerCase)

Execute the mapping step of the string preparation : - suppress useless chars - transform to spaces - lowercase

Parameters:

c - The char to map

array - The array which will collect the transformed char

pos - The current position in the target

lowerCase - A mask to lowercase the char, if necessary

Returns:

The transformed StringBuilder

checkProhibited

private static void checkProhibited(char c)
                             throws InvalidCharacterException

Prohibit characters described in RFC 4518 : - Table A.1 of RFC 3454 - Table C.3 of RFC 3454 - Table C.4 of RFC 3454 - Table C.5 of RFC 3454 - Table C.8 of RFC 3454 - character U-FFFD

Parameters:

c - The char to analyze

Throws:

InvalidCharacterException - If any character is prohibited

bidi

public static java.lang.String bidi(java.lang.String str)

Remove all bidirectionnal chars. This is not really clear in RFC 4518 what we should do with bidi chars : "Bidirectional characters are ignored." But it's not explained what is a bidi chars... So this method just do nothing atm.

Parameters:

str - The string where bidi chars are to be removed

Returns:

The cleaned string

bidi

public static java.lang.StringBuilder bidi(char[] array)

Remove all bidirectionnal chars. This is not really clear in RFC 4518 what we should do with bidi chars : "Bidirectional characters are ignored." But it's not explained what is a bidi chars... So this method just do nothing atm.

Parameters:

array - The char array where bidi chars are to be removed

Returns:

The cleaned StringBuilder

insignifiantCharTelephoneNumber

private static java.lang.String insignifiantCharTelephoneNumber(java.lang.String str)

Remove all insignifiant chars in a Telephone Number : Hyphen and spaces. For instance, the following telephone number : "+ (33) 1-123--456 789" will be trasnformed to : "+(33)1123456789"

Parameters:

str - The telephone number

Returns:

The modified telephone number String

insignifiantCharNumericString

private static java.lang.String insignifiantCharNumericString(java.lang.String str)

Remove all insignifiant spaces in a numeric string. For instance, the following numeric string : " 123 456 789 " will be transformed to : "123456789"

Parameters:

str - The numeric String

Returns:

The modified numeric StringBuilder

insignifiantSpacesString

private static java.lang.String insignifiantSpacesString(java.lang.String str,
