public class TLcdDAFIFOrtcaDecoder extends ALcdDAFIFSingleModelDecoder
This extension of the ALcdDAFIFAerodromeDecoder decodes ORTCAs from a DAFIF source file. Decoded models have as model descriptor an instance of TLcdDAFIFOrtcaModelDescriptor.

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 decoder, the type of the decoded objects is TLcdDAFIFDataTypes.Ortca, which can also be retrieved through ILcdDataObject.getDataType(). The available properties of the objects are defined in TLcdDAFIFOrtcaDataProperties. 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 setOrtcaFeaturesToBeDecoded method allows the user to specify which DAFIF features are decoded into the featured model objects.

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

The following fields (taken from the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) Product Specifications for Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF), Seventh Edition, May 2001) are supported by the decoder. The list indicates into which feature the fields are decoded.

  • IDENTIFICATION: ILcdDAFIFOrtcaFeature.IDENTIFICATION
  • ALTITUDE: ILcdDAFIFOrtcaFeature.ALTITUDE, ILcdDAFIFOrtcaFeature.ALTITUDE_UNIT
  • ALTERNATE IDENTIFICATION: ILcdDAFIFOrtcaFeature.ALTERNATE_IDENTIFICATION

DAFIF decoders 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 ORTCAs the key features are:

      Returns:
      the name of the source file

    • getDisplayName

      public String getDisplayName()
      Description copied from interface: ILcdModelDecoder
      Returns a short, displayable name for the format that is decoded by this ILcdModelDecoder.
      Specified by:
      getDisplayName in interface ILcdModelDecoder
      Overrides:
      getDisplayName in class ALcdDAFIFDecoder
      Returns:
      the displayable name of this ILcdModelDecoder.

    • createModelDescriptor

      protected ILcdModelDescriptor createModelDescriptor(String aSource)
      Description copied from class: ALcdDAFIFSingleModelDecoder
      Creates and returns the model descriptor to be set on the model returned in the decode method.
      Specified by:
      createModelDescriptor in class ALcdDAFIFSingleModelDecoder
      Parameters:
      aSource - the source that will be used to decode
      Returns:
      a model descriptor describing the data in the model created in the decode method

      protected final void handleRecord(int aFormat, char[] aRecord)
      Description copied from class: ALcdDAFIFSingleModelDecoder
      Deals with one record of input.
      Specified by:
      handleRecord in class ALcdDAFIFSingleModelDecoder
      Parameters:
      aFormat - the format of the record
      aRecord - the record

      public void setOrtcaDefaultDisplayNameIndex(int aIndex)
      Specifies the index of the ORTCA's feature to be used as display name.
      Parameters:
      aIndex - the index of the feature to be used as display name

    • setOrtcaFeaturesToBeDecoded

      public void setOrtcaFeaturesToBeDecoded(String[] aOrtcaFeaturesToBeDecoded)
      Specifies the features that should be decoded into the ORTCA objects of the model that will be returned by the decode method.

      Please make sure that the IDENTIFICATION feature is in your list.

      Parameters:
      aOrtcaFeaturesToBeDecoded - a list of features that should be decoded into the ORTCA objects
