TermAttributeImpl

Clears the values in this AttributeImpl and resets it to its default value. If this implementation implements more than one Attribute interface it clears all.

Shallow clone. Subclasses must override this if they need to clone any members deeply,

Copies the values from this Attribute into the passed-in target attribute. The target implementation must support all the Attributes this implementation supports.

All values used for computation of hashCode() should be checked here for equality. see also equals(Object)

Subclasses must implement this method and should compute a hashCode similar to this:

   public int hashCode() {
     int code = startOffset;
     code = code * 31 + endOffset;
     return code;
   }
 

Grows the termBuffer to at least size newSize, preserving the existing content. Note: If the next operation is to change the contents of the term buffer use setTermBuffer(char[], int, int), setTermBuffer(String), or setTermBuffer(String, int, int) to optimally combine the resize with the setting of the termBuffer.

Copies the contents of buffer, starting at offset and continuing for length characters, into the termBuffer array.

Copies the contents of buffer into the termBuffer array.

Copies the contents of buffer, starting at offset for length characters, into the termBuffer array.

Set number of valid characters (length of the term) in the termBuffer array. Use this to truncate the termBuffer or to synchronize with external manipulation of the termBuffer. Note: to grow the size of the array, use resizeTermBuffer(int) first.

Returns the Token's term text. This method has a performance penalty because the text is stored internally in a char[]. If possible, use termBuffer() and termLength() directly instead. If you really need a String, use this method, which is nothing more than a convenience call to new String(token.termBuffer(), 0, token.termLength())

Returns the internal termBuffer character array which you can then directly alter. If the array is too small for your token, use resizeTermBuffer(int) to increase it. After altering the buffer be sure to call setTermLength(int) to record the number of valid characters that were placed into the termBuffer.

Return number of valid characters (length of the term) in the termBuffer array.

The default implementation of this method accesses all declared fields of this object and prints the values in the following syntax:

   public String toString() {
     return "start=" + startOffset + ",end=" + endOffset;
   }
