Method Detail

format

protected java.lang.String format(java.lang.String pPropertyName,
                                  java.lang.String pOutputPropertyName,
                                  atg.repository.search.indexing.specifier.PropertyTypeEnum pType,
                                  java.lang.Object pValue)

Format the specified text or meta property value. Both formatText(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object) and formatMeta(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, atg.repository.search.indexing.specifier.PropertyTypeEnum, java.lang.Object) methods call through to this method, so subclasses can simply override this method should they will to change both behaviors.

By default, pValue is converted to a string by invoking pValue.toString(). The only exceptoin is that if the pType is a date or an integer, it will attempt to invite Date.getTime() on date values, and Number.longValue() on numbers to try to extract numeric information.

Parameters:

pPropertyName - the source name of the property

pOutputPropertyName - the output property name

pPropertyType - the type of the meta property. Will be UNKNOWN for text properties.

pValue - the property's value

Returns:

the formatted string

formatText

public java.lang.String formatText(java.lang.String pPropertyName,
                                   java.lang.String pOutputPropertyName,
                                   java.lang.Object pValue)

Parameters:

pPropertyName - the source name of the property

formatMeta

                                   atg.repository.search.indexing.specifier.PropertyTypeEnum pType,
                                   java.lang.Object pValue)
