public class DecompounderConnection
extends java.lang.Object

DecompounderConnection handles all communication with a Decompounder server. Currently the decompounder only works with Swedish compounds. If you want to get all found decompounding alternatives for a compound, try using port 6150 instead of the default port 6140. For detailed information about the compound splitting, see Sjöbergh & Kann (2004,2006).
