Phonetic key generators

To provide a new phonetic key generator, there were two prerequisites. First, you had to provide a new phonetic key implementation or wrapper class; second, you had to provide customized properties for the new phonetic key implementation. The phonetic key generator extension you would have used is specified in the following configuration table entry:

/IBM/DWLCommonServices/PhoneticSearch/extensionElementId

You will continue to specify the name of the phonetic key generator in the configuration table entry /IBM/DWLCommonServices/PhoneticSearch/extensionElementId, and if you’ve created any custom phonetic key generators, you must configure them in a blueprint file; for example:

<service id="PhoneticKeyGeneratorFactory" 
	interface="com.ibm.imc.phonetics.PhoneticKeyGeneratorFactoryService" >		
	<bean class="com.ibm.imc.phonetics.impl.PhoneticKeyGeneratorFactoryServiceImpl">
		<argument>
		<map key-type="java.lang.String" 
			value-type="com.ibm.imc.phonetics.IPhoneticKeyGenerator">
				<entry key="<Your phonetic Extension>">
					<bean class="your extension class name"/>
				</entry>
			</map> 
		</argument>		
		<argument ref="blueprintBundle"/>
	</bean>
</service>

The name you supply in the blueprint key <Your phonetic Extension> must match the entry you specified in the configuration table entry mentioned in the previous paragraph. For example, if your configuration setting is as follows --

IBM/DWLCommonServices/PhoneticSearch/extensionElementId=SoundexExtension

-- then InfoSphere MDM Custom Domain Hub will employ the following out-of-box blueprint setting:

<service id="PhoneticKeyGeneratorFactory" 
	interface="com.ibm.imc.phonetics.PhoneticKeyGeneratorFactoryService" >
	<bean class="com.ibm.imc.phonetics.impl.PhoneticKeyGeneratorFactoryServiceImpl" >
		<argument>
			<map 	key-type="java.lang.String" 
						value-type="com.ibm.imc.phonetics.IPhoneticKeyGenerator">
				<entry key="SoundexExtension">
					<bean class="com.ibm.imc.phonetics.impl.SoundexExtension"/>
				</entry>
			</map> 
		</argument>		
		<argument ref="blueprintBundle"/>
	</bean>
</service>
