All Implemented Interfaces:
ILcdInputStreamFactoryCapable, ILcdModelDecoder
Direct Known Subclasses:
TLcdDAFIFTIndependentILSDecoder
public class TLcdDAFIFTILSDecoder extends ALcdDAFIFTModelDecoder
Implementation of ILcdModelDecoder that decodes DAFIFT ILS components (DMEs, glide paths, localizers and markers) from the specified source directory. The decoded models have as model descriptor an instance of TLcdDAFIFILSModelListDescriptor.

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 types of the decoded objects are TLcdDAFIFTDataTypes.ILSDME, TLcdDAFIFTDataTypes.GlidePath, TLcdDAFIFTDataTypes.Localizer and TLcdDAFIFTDataTypes.Marker. which can also be retrieved through ILcdDataObject.getDataType(). The available properties of the objects are defined in TLcdDAFIFTILSDMEDataProperties, TLcdDAFIFTGlidePathDataProperties, TLcdDAFIFTLocalizerDataProperties and TLcdDAFIFTMarkerDataProperties. 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 methods setDMEFeaturesToBeDecoded, setGlidePathFeaturesToBeDecoded, setLocalizerFeaturesToBeDecoded and setMarkerFeaturesToBeDecoded allow the user to specify which DAFIFT features are to be decoded into the featured model objects. If no features are specified, all features will be decoded.

The following fields (which are taken from the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) Product Specifications for Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF), Eight Edition, January 2005) are supported by the decoder. The list indicates into which feature the fields are decoded.

All DAFIFT 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 DMEs, the key features are:

  • ILcdDAFIFDMEFeature.AIRPORT_ID
  • ILcdDAFIFDMEFeature.RUNWAY_ID
  • ILcdDAFIFDMEFeature.COMPONENT_TYPE
For glide paths, the key features are:
  • ILcdDAFIFGlidePathFeature.AIRPORT_ID
  • ILcdDAFIFGlidePathFeature.RUNWAY_ID
  • ILcdDAFIFGlidePathFeature.COMPONENT_TYPE
For localizers, the key features are:
  • ILcdDAFIFLocalizerFeature.AIRPORT_ID
  • ILcdDAFIFLocalizerFeature.RUNWAY_ID
  • ILcdDAFIFLocalizerFeature.COMPONENT_TYPE
For markers the key features are:
  • ILcdDAFIFMarkerFeature.AIRPORT_ID
  • ILcdDAFIFMarkerFeature.RUNWAY_ID
  • ILcdDAFIFMarkerFeature.COMPONENT_TYPE

7.2

    • 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 ALcdDAFIFTModelDecoder
      Returns:
      the displayable name of this ILcdModelDecoder.

    • decode

      public ILcdModel decode(String aSource) throws IOException
      Checks whether a runway model is set before starting the decode process. If no runway model is specified, an IllegalStateException object will be thrown.

      Returns a model list containing one or more submodels. Each submodel contains domain objects of the same type.

      The models will be build by looping through the records found in the source file. Each record that passes the record filter (getRecordFilter()) will be decoded. A decoded record needs to pass two additional filters (a model filter getModelFilter() and a bounds filter getDecodingBounds()) before it can be added to the model.

      Furthermore, an error message will be initialized and filled with reports about errors occurred during the decode process. By default, all reports will be added into the error message. The method setMaxNumberOfErrorReports(int) can be used to adjust this setting.

      Specified by:
      decode in interface ILcdModelDecoder
      Parameters:
      aSource - Either the directory containing the DAFIFT source file to decode or the DAFIFT source file itself.
      Returns:
      the model build by reading the file found with the given source.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error occurs during the reading process.
      IllegalStateException - if no runway model has been specified.
