Class TLcdAIXMProcedureHandler

java.lang.Object
com.luciad.format.aixm.decoder.TLcdAIXMProcedureHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
ILcdAIXMHandler
public class TLcdAIXMProcedureHandler extends Object
This implementation of ILcdAIXMHandler deals with procedures (SID, STAR, IAP), which are defined in AIXM by Sid, Sia, Iap elements. Decoded models have as model descriptor an instance of TLcdAIXMProcedureTrajectoryModelDescriptor.

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.Procedure, which can also be retrieved through ILcdDataObject.getDataType(). The available properties of the objects are defined in TLcdAIXMProcedureDataProperties. 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 setProcedureFeatureNamesToBeDecoded 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.

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 procedures the key features are:
