make

public static QueryElement make(SimpleNode node,
                                java.util.ArrayList children,
                                int defaultOperator)
                         throws java.text.ParseException

Makes a query element for the provided token node. The tree of query elements is built bottom up, so an array of child query element nodes must be passed in.

Parameters:

node - the node to turn into a query element

children - an array list of QueryElement objects that represent the children of the current node.

defaultOperator - specified the default operator to use when no other operator is provided between terms in the query. Valid values are defined in the Searcher interface

Returns:

the query element for this node.

Throws:

java.text.ParseException

setMods

public static void setMods(DictTerm theTerm,
                           SimpleNode node)
