Class wais.WAISDocuments 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----wais.WAISDocuments
public class WAISDocuments
extends Object
A class to hold information on the documents in the WAIS source. This information is spread in strange ways across the document file and file name file. This class loads the information into hash tables so we can quickly do things in the inverted index file. If these in memory tables weren't created each extraction of information from the inverted index file would require a linear search through the document file. WARNING!! For a very large database with a very large number of documents this method of creating an in memory table of this information wouldn't work.
