Class TLcdAIXMTACANHandler

java.lang.Object
com.luciad.format.aixm.decoder.TLcdAIXMTACANHandler
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.

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:

The following features are currently not supported:

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

  • Method Details

    • startDocument

      public void startDocument()
      Description copied from interface: ILcdAIXMHandler
      Receive notification of the beginning of an AIXM document.
      Specified by:
      startDocument in interface ILcdAIXMHandler
      See Also:

    • startElement

      public void startElement(String aElementName, ILcdAssocSet aAttributes, Stack aElementStack)
      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.

      The attributes attached to the element are available through an immutable ILcdAssocSet. Only the following methods of the interface are available:

      • 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.
      See Also:

    • endElement

      public void endElement(String aElementName, String aContent, Stack aElementStack)
      Description copied from interface: ILcdAIXMHandler
      Receive notification of the end of an AIXM element.

      This method will be invoked at the end of every element in the AIXM document; there will be a corresponding startElement event for every endElement event (even when the element is empty).

      Parameters:
      aElementName - The name of the element.
      aContent - The contents of the current element, or the empty string if the element was empty.
      aElementStack - A stack containing the element names of all the parents of the current element and itself.

    • setClassTraceOn

      public static void setClassTraceOn(boolean aClassTraceOn)
      Deprecated.
      This method has been deprecated. It is recommended to use the standard Java logging framework directly.
      Enables tracing for all instances of this class. If the argument is true then all log messages are recorded, otherwise only the informative, warning and error messages are recorded.
      Parameters:
      aClassTraceOn - if true then all log messages are recorded, otherwise only the informative, warning and error messages are recorded.

    • setTraceOn

      public void setTraceOn(boolean aTraceOn)
      Deprecated.
      This method has been deprecated. It is recommended to use the standard Java logging framework directly.
      Enables tracing for this class instance. Calling this method with either true or false as argument automatically turns off tracing for all other class instances for which setTraceOn has not been called. If the argument is false then only the informative, warning and error log messages are recorded.
      Parameters:
      aTraceOn - if true then all log messages are recorded for this instance. If false, then only the informative, warning and error log messages are recorded.
