Constructor Detail

### CacheCollator

    public CacheCollator(java.text.Collator collator)

  Construct this collator to cache the results of another collator.

  Parameters:
    `collator` - the collator to delegate to

Method Detail

### getStrength

    public int getStrength()

  Returns this Collator's strength property. The strength property determines the minimum level of difference considered significant during comparison.

  Overrides:
    `getStrength` in class `java.text.Collator`
  Returns:
    this Collator's current strength property.

### setStrength

    public void setStrength(int newStrength)

  Sets this Collator's strength property. The strength property determines the minimum level of difference considered significant during comparison.

  Overrides:
    `setStrength` in class `java.text.Collator`
  Parameters:
    `newStrength` - the new strength value.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` - always thrown

### getDecomposition

    public int getDecomposition()

  Get the decomposition mode of this Collator. Decomposition mode determines how Unicode composed characters are handled. Adjusting decomposition mode allows the user to select between faster and more complete collation behavior.

  Overrides:
    `getDecomposition` in class `java.text.Collator`
  Returns:
    the decomposition mode

### setDecomposition

    public void setDecomposition(int decomposition)

  Set the decomposition mode of this Collator. See getDecomposition for a description of decomposition mode.

  Overrides:
    `setDecomposition` in class `java.text.Collator`
  Parameters:
    `decomposition` - the new decomposition mode
  Throws:
    `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` - always thrown

### compare

    public int compare(java.lang.String source,
                       java.lang.String target)

  Compares the source string to the target string according to the collation rules for this Collator. Returns an integer less than, equal to or greater than zero depending on whether the source String is less than, equal to or greater than the target string. See the Collator class description for an example of use.

  For a one time comparison, this method has the best performance. If a given String will be involved in multiple comparisons, CollationKey.compareTo has the best performance. See the Collator class description for an example using CollationKeys.

  Specified by:
    `compare` in class `java.text.Collator`
  Parameters:
    `source` - the source string.
    `target` - the target string.
  Returns:
    Returns an integer value. Value is less than zero if source is less than target, value is zero if source and target are equal, value is greater than zero if source is greater than target.

### getCollationKey

    public java.text.CollationKey getCollationKey(java.lang.String source)

  Transforms the String into a series of bits that can be compared bitwise to other CollationKeys. CollationKeys provide better performance than Collator.compare when Strings are involved in multiple comparisons. See the Collator class description for an example using CollationKeys.

  Specified by:
    `getCollationKey` in class `java.text.Collator`
  Parameters:
    `source` - the string to be transformed into a collation key.
  Returns:
    the CollationKey for the given String based on this Collator's collation rules. If the source String is null, a null CollationKey is returned.

### clone

    public java.lang.Object clone()

  Clone the caching collator.

  Overrides:
    `clone` in class `java.text.Collator`
  Returns:
    a clone of this object

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object that)

  Compares the equality of two Collators.

  Specified by:
    `equals` in interface `java.util.Comparator`
  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.text.Collator`
  Parameters:
    `that` - the Collator to be compared with this.
  Returns:
    true if this Collator is the same as that Collator; false otherwise.

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Generates the hash code for this Collator.

  Specified by:
    `hashCode` in class `java.text.Collator`
  Returns:
    the hashcode of the delegatee collator

### getCache

    protected java.util.Map getCache()

  Returns:
    the internal cache map
