public interface ILcdGeodeticDatumFactory

An ILcdGeodeticDatumFactory is an object to create ILcdGeodeticDatum objects (Factory pattern).

Each ILcdGeodeticDatumFactory defines some ILcdGeodeticDatum objects. It associates one of these ILcdGeodeticDatum objects to a number of combinations of a prefix (of the type String) and a Properties object.

It is up to the implementations of the ILcdGeodeticDatumFactory which ILcdGeodeticDatum objects to define, and which combinations of prefix and Properties to allow.

Method Detail

createGeodeticDatum

ILcdGeodeticDatum createGeodeticDatum(String aPrefix,
                                      Properties aProperties)
                               throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a ILcdGeodeticDatum from a Properties Object.

Parameters:

aPrefix - prefix for property names.

aProperties - Properties object from which to derive the geodetic datum.

Returns:

ILcdGeodeticDatum associated to the combination aPrefix and aProperties.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if no ILcdGeodeticDatum is associated to the combination aPrefix and aProperties.
