public class AbstractIdentifiedObject
extends Formattable
implements org.opengis.referencing.IdentifiedObject, java.io.Serializable

A base class for metadata applicable to reference system objects. When AuthorityFactory is used to create an object, the authority and authority code values are set to the authority name of the factory object, and the authority code supplied by the client, respectively. When ObjectFactory creates an object, the name is set to the value supplied by the client and all of the other metadata items are left empty.

This class is conceptually abstract, even if it is technically possible to instantiate it. Typical applications should create instances of the most specific subclass with prefix instead. An exception to this rule may occurs when it is not possible to identify the exact type. For example it is not possible to infer the exact coordinate system from Well Known Text is some cases (e.g. in a element). In such exceptional situation, a plain AbstractCS object may be instantiated.

Constructor Detail

AbstractIdentifiedObject

public AbstractIdentifiedObject(org.opengis.referencing.IdentifiedObject object)
Constructs a new identified object with the same values than the specified one. This copy constructor provides a way to wrap an arbitrary implementation into a Geotools one or a user-defined one (as a subclass), usually in order to leverage some implementation-specific API. This constructor performs a shallow copy, i.e. the properties are not cloned.


AbstractIdentifiedObject

public AbstractIdentifiedObject(java.util.Map properties)
                         throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Constructs an object from a set of properties. Keys are strings from the table below. Key are case-insensitive, and leading and trailing spaces are ignored. The map given in argument shall contains at least a property. Other properties listed in the table below are optional.

Property name Value type Value given to
 "name"   String or Identifier   getName()
 "alias"   String, String[], GenericName or GenericName[]   getAlias()
 "authority"   String or Citation   Identifier.getAuthority() on the name
 "version"   String   Identifier.getVersion() on the name
 "identifiers"   Identifier or Identifier[]   getIdentifiers()
 "remarks"   String or InternationalString   getRemarks()

Additionally, all localizable attributes like may have a language and country code suffix. For example the property stands for remarks in French and the property stands for remarks in French Canadian.

Note that the and properties are ignored if the property is already a Citation object instead of a String.

Throws:
org.opengis.parameter.InvalidParameterValueException - if a property has an invalid value.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a property is invalid for some other reason.

AbstractIdentifiedObject

protected AbstractIdentifiedObject(java.util.Map properties,
                                   java.util.Map subProperties,
                                   java.lang.String[] localizables)
                            throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Constructs an object from a set of properties and copy unrecognized properties in the specified map. The argument is treated as in the one argument constructor. All properties unknow to this constructor are copied in the map, after their key has been normalized (usually lower case, leading and trailing space removed).

If is non-null, then all keys listed in this argument are treated as localizable one (i.e. may have a suffix like "_fr", "_de", etc.). Localizable properties are stored in the map as InternationalString objects.

Parameters:
properties - Set of properties. Should contains at least .
subProperties - The map in which to copy unrecognized properties.
localizables - Optional list of localized properties.
Throws:
org.opengis.parameter.InvalidParameterValueException - if a property has an invalid value.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a property is invalid for some other reason.

Returns:
The aliases, or an empty array if there is none.
See Also:
getName(Citation)

getIdentifiers

public java.util.Set getIdentifiers()
An identifier which references elsewhere the object's defining information. Alternatively an identifier by which this object can be referenced.

getRemarks

public org.opengis.util.InternationalString getRemarks()
Comments on or information about this object, including data source information.

Specified by:
getRemarks in interface org.opengis.referencing.IdentifiedObject

getProperties

public static java.util.Map getProperties(org.opengis.referencing.IdentifiedObject info)
Returns the informations provided in the specified indentified object as a map of properties. The returned map contains key such as NAME_KEY, and values from methods such as getName().

Parameters:
info - The identified object to view as a properties map.
Returns:
An view of the identified object as an immutable map.

getProperties

public static java.util.Map getProperties(org.opengis.referencing.IdentifiedObject info,
                                          org.opengis.metadata.citation.Citation authority)
Returns the properties to be given to an identified object derived from the specified one. This method is typically used for creating a new CRS identical to an existing one except for axis units. This method returns the same properties than the supplied argument (as of getProperties(info)), except for the following:

This method returns a mutable map. Consequently, callers can add their own identifiers directly to this map if they wish.

Parameters:
info - The identified object to view as a properties map.
authority - The new authority for the object to be created, or if it is not going to have any declared authority.
Returns:
An view of the identified object as a mutable map.

getIdentifier

public org.opengis.metadata.Identifier getIdentifier(org.opengis.metadata.citation.Citation authority)
Returns an identifier according the given authority. This method first checks all identifiers in their iteration order. It returns the first identifier with an authority citation matching the specified authority.

Parameters:
authority - The authority for the identifier to return.
Returns:
The object's identifier, or if no identifier matching the specified authority was found.
Since:
2.2

Parameters:
info - The object to get the identifier from.
authority - The authority for the identifier to return.

getName

public java.lang.String getName(org.opengis.metadata.citation.Citation authority)
Returns this object's name according the given authority. This method checks first the primary name, then all alias in their iteration order. Note that alias may implement both the Identifier and GenericName interfaces (for example NamedIdentifier). In such cases, the identifier view has precedence.

Parameters:
authority - The authority for the name to return.
Returns:
The object's name (either a code or a local name), or if no name matching the specified authority was found.
Since:
2.2

Parameters:
info - The object to get the name from.
authority - The authority for the name to return.
Returns:
The object's name (either a code or a local name), or if no name matching the specified authority was found.
Since:
2.2

public static boolean nameMatches(org.opengis.referencing.IdentifiedObject object,
                                  java.lang.String name)

name - The name.
Returns:
if the primary name of at least one alias matches the specified .

equals

public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)
Compares the specified object with this object for equality.

Parameters:
object - The other object (may be ).
Returns:
if both objects are equal.

equals

public boolean equals(AbstractIdentifiedObject object,
                      boolean compareMetadata)
Compares this object with the specified object for equality. If is , then all available properties are compared including name, remarks, identifiers code, etc. If is , then this method compare only the properties needed for computing transformations. In other words, returns only if the transformation from to is the identity transform, no matter what getName() saids.

Some subclasses (especially AbstractDatum and AbstractParameterDescriptor) will test for the name, since objects with different name have completly different meaning. For example nothing differentiate the and parameters except the name. The name comparaison may be loose however, i.e. we may accept a name matching an alias.

Parameters:

compareMetadata - for performing a strict comparaison, or for comparing only properties relevant to transformations.
Returns:
if both objects are equal.
