Class AbstractTextFilterOFD

java.lang.Object
  org.dspace.sort.AbstractTextFilterOFD

All Implemented Interfaces:

OrderFormatDelegate

Direct Known Subclasses:

OrderFormatAuthor, OrderFormatText, OrderFormatTitle, OrderFormatTitleMarc21

public abstract class AbstractTextFilterOFD
extends Object
implements OrderFormatDelegate

Helper class for creating order delegates. To configure the filters create a subclass and, in an object initializer, create an array of classes that implement TextFilter: class MyLocaleDelegate extends AbstractTextFilterOFD { { filters = new TextFilter[] { new LocaleOrderingFilter(); } } } The order they are in the array, is the order that they are executed. (this may be important for some filters - read their documentation!) Example configurations that could be used: { new DecomposeDiactritics(), new StripDiacritics(), new LowerCaseAndTrim() } - Decompose and then strip the diacritics, lowercase and trim the string. { new MARC21InitialArticleWord(), new DecomposeDiactritics(), new LowerCaseTrim() } - Parse the initial article words based on the Library of Congress list of definite/indefinite article words, decompose diacritics, and lowercase/trim. { new LowerCaseTrim(), new LocaleOrderingFilter() } - Lowercase the string, then make a locale dependent sort text (note that the sort text is not human readable)
