Method Detail

createDataStore

public DataStore createDataStore(java.util.Map params)
                          throws java.io.IOException
Description copied from interface: DataStoreFactorySpi
Construct a live data source using the params specifed.

You can think of this as setting up a connection to the back end data source.

Magic Params: the following params are magic and are honoured by convention by the GeoServer and uDig application.

When we eventually move over to the use of OpperationalParam we will have to find someway to codify this convention.

Specified by:
createDataStore in interface DataStoreFactorySpi
Parameters:
params - The full set of information needed to construct a live data store. Typical key values for the map include: url - location of a resource, used by file reading datasources. dbtype - the type of the database to connect to, e.g. postgis, mysql
Returns:
The created DataStore, this may be null if the required resource was not found or if insufficent parameters were given. Note that canProcess() should have returned false if the problem is to do with insuficent parameters.
Throws:
java.io.IOException
See Also:
DataStoreFactorySpi.createDataStore(java.util.Map)

createNewDataStore

public DataStore createNewDataStore(java.util.Map params)
                             throws java.io.IOException
Specified by:
createNewDataStore in interface DataStoreFactorySpi
Throws:
java.io.IOException
See Also:
DataStoreFactorySpi.createNewDataStore(java.util.Map)

getDisplayName

public java.lang.String getDisplayName()
Description copied from interface: DataStoreFactorySpi
Name suitable for display to end user.

A non localized display name for this data store type.

Specified by:
getDisplayName in interface DataStoreFactorySpi
Returns:
A short name suitable for display in a user interface.

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()
Description copied from interface: DataStoreFactorySpi
Describe the nature of the datasource constructed by this factory.

A non localized description of this data store type.

Specified by:
getDescription in interface DataStoreFactorySpi
Returns:
A human readable description that is suitable for inclusion in a list of available datasources.
See Also:
DataStoreFactorySpi.getDescription()

getParametersInfo

public DataStoreFactorySpi.Param[] getParametersInfo()
Description copied from interface: DataStoreFactorySpi
MetaData about the required Parameters (for createDataStore).

Interpretation of FeatureDescriptor values:

This should be the same as:


 Object params = factory.getParameters();
 BeanInfo info = getBeanInfo( params );
 
 return info.getPropertyDescriptors();
 

Specified by:
getParametersInfo in interface DataStoreFactorySpi
Returns:
Param array describing the Map for createDataStore
See Also:
DataStoreFactorySpi.getParametersInfo()

canProcess

public boolean canProcess(java.util.Map params)
Description copied from interface: DataStoreFactorySpi
Test to see if this factory is suitable for processing the data pointed to by the params map.

If this datasource requires a number of parameters then this mehtod should check that they are all present and that they are all valid. If the datasource is a file reading data source then the extentions or mime types of any files specified should be checked. For example, a Shapefile datasource should check that the url param ends with shp, such tests should be case insensative.

Specified by:
canProcess in interface DataStoreFactorySpi
Parameters:
params - The full set of information needed to construct a live data source.
Returns:
booean true if and only if this factory can process the resource indicated by the param set and all the required params are pressent.
See Also:
DataStoreFactorySpi.canProcess(java.util.Map)

isAvailable

public boolean isAvailable()
Description copied from interface: DataStoreFactorySpi
Test to see if this datastore is available, if it has all the appropriate libraries to construct a datastore. Most datastores should return true, because geotools will distribute the appropriate libraries. Though it's not a bad idea for DataStoreFactories to check to make sure that the libraries are there. OracleDataStoreFactory is an example of one that may generally return false, since geotools can not distribute the oracle jars, they must be added by the client. One may ask how this is different than canProcess, and basically available is used by the DataStoreFinder getAvailableDataStore method, so that DataStores that can not even be used do not show up as options in gui applications.

Specified by:
isAvailable in interface DataStoreFactorySpi
Returns:
true if and only if this factory has all the appropriate jars on the classpath to create DataStores.
See Also:
DataStoreFactorySpi.isAvailable()

getFileExtensions

public java.lang.String[] getFileExtensions()
Description copied from interface: FileDataStoreFactorySpi
DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:
getFileExtensions in interface FileDataStoreFactorySpi
Returns:
An ordered list of file extensions which can be read by this dataStore.
See Also:
org.geotools.data.dir.FileDataStoreFactorySpi#getFileExtensions()

canProcess

public boolean canProcess(java.net.URL f)
Description copied from interface: FileDataStoreFactorySpi
DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:
canProcess in interface FileDataStoreFactorySpi
Parameters:
f - URL a url to a real file (may not be local)
Returns:
True when this dataStore can resolve and read the data specified by the URL.
Throws:
java.io.IOException
See Also:
org.geotools.data.dir.FileDataStoreFactorySpi#canProcess(java.net.URL)

testURL

public boolean testURL(java.net.URL f)
                throws java.io.IOException
Throws:
java.io.IOException

createDataStore

public DataStore createDataStore(java.net.URL url)
                          throws java.io.IOException
Description copied from interface: FileDataStoreFactorySpi
DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:
createDataStore in interface FileDataStoreFactorySpi
Parameters:
url - A URL to the data location for the single featureType of this DataStore
Returns:
Returns an AbstractFileDataStore created from the data source provided.
Throws:
java.io.IOException
See Also:
org.geotools.data.dir.FileDataStoreFactorySpi#createDataStore(java.net.URL)

getTypeName

public java.lang.String getTypeName(java.net.URL url)
                             throws java.io.IOException
Description copied from interface: FileDataStoreFactorySpi
DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:
getTypeName in interface FileDataStoreFactorySpi
Parameters:
url - The location of the datum to parse into features
Returns:
Returns the typename of the datum specified (on occasion this may involve starting the parse as well to get the FeatureType -- may not be instantanious).
Throws:
java.io.IOException
See Also:
org.geotools.data.dir.FileDataStoreFactorySpi#getTypeName(java.net.URL)

getImplementationHints

public java.util.Map getImplementationHints()
Returns the implementation hints. The default implementation returns en empty map.

Specified by:
getImplementationHints in interface Factory
Returns:
The map of hints, or an empty map if none.
