## javax.help.search
Class IndexerKit

    java.lang.Object
      javax.help.search.IndexerKit

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Cloneable

public abstract class IndexerKit
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable

Establishes the requirements of an indexing object for a type of text content. The DefaultKit acts as a factory for policy. For example, an implementation for HTML and RTF can be provided that is replaceable with other implementations.

New kits are normally created by cloning a prototype kit.

Constructor Summary
`IndexerKit()`

Method Summary
`abstract java.lang.Object` | `clone()` Creates a copy of the indexer kit.
`abstract java.lang.String` | `getContentType()` Gets the MIME type of the data that this kit represents support for.
`java.util.Locale` | `getLocale()` Gets the Locale.
`abstract void` | `parse(java.io.Reader in, java.lang.String file, boolean ignoreCharset, IndexBuilder builder, ConfigFile config)` Parses content from the given stream.
`abstract int` | `parseIntoTokens(java.lang.String source, int pos)` Parses a string into tokens and stores the tokens.
`void` | `setLocale(java.util.Locale locale)` Sets the locale for string tokenizing.
`void` | `setLocale(java.lang.String lang)` Convenience method for setting the locale from a lang string Takes the lang string in the form of "language_country_variant".

Constructor Detail

### IndexerKit

    public IndexerKit()

Method Detail

### clone

    public abstract java.lang.Object clone()

  Creates a copy of the indexer kit. This allows an implementation to serve as a prototype for others, so that they can be quickly created.

  Returns:
    the copy

### getContentType

    public abstract java.lang.String getContentType()

  Gets the MIME type of the data that this kit represents support for.

  Returns:
    the type

### setLocale

    public void setLocale(java.util.Locale locale)

  Sets the locale for string tokenizing. A null locale value is valid and means that no locale has been set for this IndexerKit.

### setLocale

    public void setLocale(java.lang.String lang)

  Convenience method for setting the locale from a lang string Takes the lang string in the form of "language_country_variant". Parses the string and creates an appropriate locale.

  Parameters:
    `lang` - A string representation of a locale. If lang is null it is the same as setting the locale to null.

### getLocale

    public java.util.Locale getLocale()

  Gets the Locale.

### parse

    public abstract void parse(java.io.Reader in,
                               java.lang.String file,
                               boolean ignoreCharset,
                               IndexBuilder builder,
                               ConfigFile config)
                        throws java.io.IOException

  Parses content from the given stream. The stream is expected to be in a format appropriate for this content handler to parse into tokens according to the locale of the class. In the absense of a locale, the default locale tokenizer is used.

  Parameters:
    `in` - The stream to read from.
    `file` - The file name being parsed.
    `builder` - The IndexBuilder for the full text insertion.
    `config` - The indexer configuration information.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - on any I/O error.

### parseIntoTokens

    public abstract int parseIntoTokens(java.lang.String source,
                                        int pos)

  Parses a string into tokens and stores the tokens.
