java.lang.Object
com.luciad.format.informix.spatial.TLcdInformixSpatialModelEncoder
All Implemented Interfaces:
ILcdModelEncoder, Serializable
@LcdService(service=ILcdModelEncoder.class, priority=20000) public class TLcdInformixSpatialModelEncoder extends Object implements ILcdModelEncoder
This ILcdModelEncoder encodes models into Informix Spatial databases.

A spatial database is accessed based on a set of properties. The properties can be passed in a Properties object, or using a properties file with extension "isd".

The common properties needed to establish a connection and to specify tables, columns, rows, etc. are the same as those for the TLcdInformixSpatialModelDecoder. In addition, the following properties are required:

  • SRID the spatial reference ID for the spatial data.
  • geometryType (default = "ST_Geometry"): the SQL data type of the geometry column, as listed in Appendix F of the IBM Informix Spatial DataBlade Module User's Guide.
  • featureDataTypes.0, ...: the SQL data types of the feature columns. Each featureNames.i must have a corresponding featureDataTypes.i.
  • dropBeforeCreatingTable (optional, default = * false): if set to true, the encoder will * attempt to drop the spatial table before re-creating it.

Example properties file: 

 # The basic database connection properties.
 driver    = com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver
 url       = jdbc:informix-sqli://alien:1536/sysuser:INFORMIXSERVER=demo
 user      = informix
 password  = informix

 # The data of interest.
 table         = STATES
 spatialColumn = GEOM

 # The feature columns to be decoded.
 featureNames.0 = ID
 featureNames.1 = STATE

 # The index of the feature that can be used as primary key.
 primaryFeatureIndex = 0

 # Optional additional constraints to retrieve a subset of the table.
 #selectionTables =
 #selectionFilter = STATE = 'New York'

 # Optional maximum cache size (expressed as number of objects, default is 100).
 maxCacheSize = 60

 # Optionally close the database connection after each query.
 # Only advisable when using a connection pooling database driver.
 #alwaysCloseConnection = false

 # Additional properties required for creating a new Informix Spatial table.
 SRID = 0

 # Optional geometry type of the geometry column.
 #geometryType = ST_MultiPolygon

 # The regular SQL data types of the feature columns.
 featureDataTypes.0 = NUMERIC(11,3)
 featureDataTypes.1 = CHAR(20)

The encoder supports ILcdShape objects. They are converted to Informix Spatial objects as follows:

FROM
ILcdShape 		TO
ESRI SHAPE Geometry
ILcd2DEditablePoint POINT
ILcd2DEditablePolypoint MULTI_POINT
ILcd2DEditablePolyline POLYLINE
ILcd2DEditablePolygon POLYGON
ILcdComplexPolygon based on its first element, according to this table
ILcd3DEditablePoint POINT_Z
ILcd3DEditablePolypoint MULTI_POINT_Z
ILcd3DEditablePolyline POLYLINE_Z
ILcd3DEditablePolygon POLYGON_Z
ILcd2DEditablePoint && ILcdSHPMeasure POINT_M
ILcd2DEditablePolypoint && ILcdSHPMeasureList MULTI_POINT_M
ILcd2DEditablePolyline && ILcdSHPMeasureList POLYLINE_M
ILcd2DEditablePolygon && ILcdSHPMeasureList POLYGON_M
ILcd3DEditablePoint && ILcdSHPMeasure POINT_ZM
ILcd3DEditablePolypoint && ILcdSHPMeasureList MULTI_POINT_ZM
ILcd3DEditablePolyline && ILcdSHPMeasureList POLYLINE_ZM
ILcd3DEditablePolygon && ILcdSHPMeasureList POLYGON_ZM

The ILcdShape can also be a homogeneous ILcdShapeList containing any of the above ILcdShape instances. An ILcdShapeList can contain only 1 ILcdComplexPolygon. Polygon vertices's defining order: The vertices's of the polygons must be given in counter-clockwise order, holes must be given in clockwise order.

Properties (features) are retrieved by means of the ILcdDataObject interface, which the objects must implement.

      public TLcdInformixSpatialModelEncoder()
      Creates a new Informix Spatial model encoder.

  • Method Details

    • setAutoCommitCount

      public void setAutoCommitCount(int aAutoCommitCount)
      Sets the number of inserted elements after which an export operation should be committed, periodically. The default is 0, meaning that the export operation is only committed when all elements have been inserted. A different value can be useful to avoid overflow of database transaction logs.

    • getAutoCommitCount

      public int getAutoCommitCount()
      Returns the number of inserted elements after which an export operation is committed.

    • getDisplayName

      public String getDisplayName()
      Description copied from interface: ILcdModelEncoder
      Returns a short, displayable name for the format this ILcdModelEncoder encodes to.
      Specified by:
      getDisplayName in interface ILcdModelEncoder
      Returns:
      the displayable name of this ILcdModelEncoder.
