Class FileManagerImpl

java.lang.Object

net.didion.jwnl.dictionary.file_manager.FileManagerImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

Remote, FileManager, Createable

Direct Known Subclasses:

RemoteFileManager

public class FileManagerImpl
extends Object
implements FileManager

An implementation of FileManager that reads files from the local file system. FileManagerImpl caches the file position before and after readLineAt in order to eliminate the redundant IO activity that a naive implementation of these methods would necessitate.

FileManagerImpl

public FileManagerImpl(String searchDir,
                       Class dictionaryFileType)
                throws IOException

Construct a file manager backed by a set of files contained in the default WN search directory.

Throws:

IOException

Method Detail

create

public Object create(Map params)
              throws JWNLException

Specified by:

create in interface Createable

Throws:

JWNLException

close

public void close()

Shut down the file manager.

Specified by:

close in interface FileManager

getFile

public DictionaryFile getFile(POS pos,
                              DictionaryFileType fileType)

Gets the file from a part of speech and file type (ie data.noun).

Parameters:

pos - - the part of speech (NOUN, ADJ, VERB, ADV)

fileType - - the file type (data, index, exc)

Returns:

- dictionary file

readLineAt

public String readLineAt(POS pos,
                         DictionaryFileType fileType,
                         long offset)
                  throws IOException

Read the line that begins at file offset offset.

Specified by:

readLineAt in interface FileManager

Throws:

IOException

getNextLinePointer

public long getNextLinePointer(POS pos,
                               DictionaryFileType fileType,
                               long offset)
                        throws IOException

Search for the line following the line that begins at offset.

Specified by:

getNextLinePointer in interface FileManager

Returns:

The file offset of the start of the line, or -1 if offset is the last line in the file.

Throws:

IOException

getMatchingLinePointer

public long getMatchingLinePointer(POS pos,
                                   DictionaryFileType fileType,
                                   long offset,
                                   String substring)
                            throws IOException

Search for a line whose index word contains substring, starting at offset.

Specified by:

getMatchingLinePointer in interface FileManager

Returns:

The file offset of the start of the matchng line, or -1 if no such line exists.

Throws:

IOException

getIndexedLinePointer

public long getIndexedLinePointer(POS pos,
                                  DictionaryFileType fileType,
                                  String target)
                           throws IOException

Get indexed line pointer is typically used to find a word within an index file matching a given part of speech. It first accesses the appropriate file (based on pos and dictionary type), then iterates through the file. Does so by using an offset and string comparison algorithm.

Specified by:

getIndexedLinePointer in interface FileManager

Returns:

The file offset of the start of the matching line, or -1 if no such line exists.

Throws:

IOException

getRandomLinePointer

public long getRandomLinePointer(POS pos,
                                 DictionaryFileType fileType)
                          throws IOException

Return a randomly-chosen line pointer (offset of the beginning of a line).

Specified by:

getRandomLinePointer in interface FileManager

Returns:

Throws:

IOException

getFirstLinePointer

public long getFirstLinePointer(POS pos,
                                DictionaryFileType fileType)
                         throws IOException

Return the first valid line pointer in the specified file.

Specified by:

getFirstLinePointer in interface FileManager

Returns:

Throws:

IOException
