All Implemented Interfaces:

Encoder, StringEncoder

@Deprecated
public class Caverphone
extends java.lang.Object
implements StringEncoder

Deprecated.

1.5 Replaced by Caverphone2, will be removed in 2.0.

Encodes a string into a Caverphone 2.0 value. Delegate to a Caverphone2 instance. This is an algorithm created by the Caversham Project at the University of Otago. It implements the Caverphone 2.0 algorithm:

Method Detail

caverphone

public java.lang.String caverphone(java.lang.String source)

Deprecated.

Encodes the given String into a Caverphone value.

Parameters:

source - String the source string.

Returns:

A Caverphone code for the given String.

encode

public java.lang.Object encode(java.lang.Object obj)
                        throws EncoderException

Deprecated.

Encodes an Object using the Caverphone algorithm. This method is provided in order to satisfy the requirements of the Encoder interface, and will throw an EncoderException if the supplied object is not of type String.

Specified by:

encode in interface Encoder

Parameters:

obj - Object to encode.

Returns:

An object (or type String) containing the Caverphone code which corresponds to the String supplied.

Throws:

EncoderException - if the parameter supplied is not of type String.

encode

public java.lang.String encode(java.lang.String str)

Deprecated.

Encodes a String using the Caverphone algorithm.

Specified by:

encode in interface StringEncoder

Parameters:

str - String object to encode.

Returns:

The Caverphone code corresponding to the String supplied.

isCaverphoneEqual

public boolean isCaverphoneEqual(java.lang.String str1,
                                 java.lang.String str2)

Deprecated.

Tests if the Caverphones of two strings are identical.

Parameters:

str1 - First of two strings to compare.

str2 - Second of two strings to compare.

Returns:

true if the Caverphones of these strings are identical, false otherwise.
