All Implemented Interfaces:

ILcdAIXMHandler

public class TLcdAIXMTACANHandler
extends Object

This implementation of ILcdAIXMHandler deals with TACAN elements. Decoded models have as model descriptor an instance of TLcdAIXMTACANModelDescriptor.

The objects in decoded models are based on the AIS domain objects available in com.luciad.ais.model, which all implement ILcdDataObject. This interface provides a generic and format-independent way of accessing the type and properties (features) of a domain object.

For this handler, the type of the decoded objects is TLcdAIXMDataTypes.TACAN, which can also be retrieved through ILcdDataObject.getDataType(). The available properties of the objects are defined in TLcdAIXMTACANDataProperties. The values for these properties can be retrieved through ILcdDataObject.getValue(com.luciad.datamodel.TLcdDataProperty).

Next to ILcdDataObject, the objects in decoded models also implement ILcdFeatured, the former interface to access the properties (features) of a domain object. This is still fully supported, and explained in the following comments.

The setTACANFeatureNamesToBeDecoded method allows the user to specify which AIXM features are decoded into the featured model objects.

If no feature names to be decoded are specified, all features will be decoded.

The following fields (taken from the AIXM specification) are supported by the decoder. The list indicates into which feature or attribute the fields are decoded. It also indicates from which AIXM version on they are available.

• Version 3.3 :
  • Identifier: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.IDENTIFIER
  • Name: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.NAME
  • NAVAID Class: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.NAVAID_CLASS
  • Type: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.TYPE
  • Beginning date: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.DATE_FROM
  • End date: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.DATE_TILL
  • Artificial unique identifier: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.MID
  • Channel: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.CHANNEL
  • Emission: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.EMISSION
  • Organization name: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.ORGANISATION
  • Magnetic variation: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.MAGNETIC_VARIATION, ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.MAGNETIC_VARIATION_DATE
  • Elevation: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.ELEVATION
  • Elevation accuracy: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.ELEVATION_ACCURACY
  • Geographical accuracy: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.GEO_ACCURACY, ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.GEO_ACCURACY_UNIT
  • Geoid undulation: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.GEOID_UNDULATION
  • Vertical datum: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.VERTICAL_DATUM
  • Vertical distance unit: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.VERTICAL_DISTANCE_UNIT
  • Original latitude: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.ORIGINAL_LATITUDE
  • Original longitude: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.ORIGINAL_LONGITUDE
  • Original horizontal datum: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.ORIGINAL_DATUM
  • Free text remarks: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.REMARK
• Version 4.0 :
  • Station declination: ILcdAIXMTACANFeature.STATION_DECLINATION
• Version 4.5 : no extra fields added.

AIXM handlers rely on a specific set of key features that uniquely define an object. This set of features must always be included in the set of features to be decoded. For TACANs the key features are:

• IDENTIFIER
• ORIGINAL_LATITUDE
• ORIGINAL_LONGITUDE

The following features are currently not supported:

• TACAN Timetable
• Features of the responsible organization or authority (except for the name)
• TACAN Limitation

Description copied from interface: ILcdAIXMHandler

Receive notification of the beginning of an AIXM element.

This method will be invoked at the beginning of every element in the AIXM document; there will be a corresponding endElement event for every startElement event (even when the element is empty). All of the element's content will be reported, in order, before the corresponding endElement event.

• public int size()
• public boolean hasValue(Object aObject)
• public Object getValue(Object aKey)
• public Enumeration keys()
• public Enumeration elements()

An UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown if one of the other methods are called.

Parameters:

aElementName - The name of the element.

aAttributes - The attributes attached to the element.

aElementStack - A stack containing the element names of all the parents of the current element and itself.
