Yes, your right. I realized after I posted that one
wouldn't be able to get the "for (Field f: doc)" to
work without breaking java1.4.
My main motivation was due to the lack of a way to
efficiently check for multivalued fields (a field that
appears more than once). To do that, I needed to get
a Field[] efficiently, and I couldn't even do that.
Even without being able to use generics, it would
still be nice to have Document implement standard
collection interfaces. The Document class could
always be transparently upgraded to use generics at a
later date when Java 5 becomes more standard.
Here is the (ugly) code I currently need to handle
multivalued fields:
Document doc = hits.doc(recNum);
Enumeration ee = doc.fields();
ArrayList lst = new ArrayList();
while (ee.hasMoreElements()) {
Field ff = (Field) ee.nextElement();
lst.add(ff);
}
Collections.sort(lst, fieldComparator);
int sz = lst.size();
int fidx1 = 0, fidx2 = 0;
while (fidx1 < sz) {
Field f1 = (Field)lst.get(fidx1);
String fname = f1.name();
fidx2 = fidx1+1;
while (fidx2 < sz &&
fname.equals(((Field)lst.get(fidx2)).name()) ) {
fidx2++;
}
if (fidx1+1 == fidx2) {
// handle single field value
[...]
} else {
// multiple fields with same value
detected
for (int i=fidx1; i<fidx2; i++) {
[...]
}
}
fidx1 = fidx2;
}
Even if people decide it's not a good idea to
implement collection interfaces such as List, I think
Document needs some methods to enable more efficient
usage.
definitely needed:
Field[] toArray(Field[] target);
int size();
maybe needed:
Document(Field[] fields);
Document(Field[] fields, int start, int len);
might be useful:
Field[] getFields(String name, Field[] target)
// null terminate the array
Also, why is Vector used internally... the
synchronization isn't needed is it? A Field[] would
be the most efficient as it would remove the need for
dynamic casts.
