com.luciad.format.xml.bind.schema.ALcdXMLModelDecoder
com.luciad.format.gml2.xml.TLcdGML2ModelDecoder
All Implemented Interfaces:
ILcdInputStreamFactoryCapable, ILcdModelDecoder
public class TLcdGML2ModelDecoder extends ALcdXMLModelDecoder
This model decoder decodes Geography Markup Language (GML) version 2.x.

Input files

File Required Entry point Description
*.gml, *.gml2, *.xml x x
 GML 2.x data file
*.xsd x
Application schema (XML Schema)

Supported file transfer protocols

  • This model decoder supports all transfer protocols that are supported by the ILcdInputStreamFactory of this decoder.

Model structure

  • This model decoder creates a model per GML file.
  • All models returned by this model decoder implement ILcd2DBoundsIndexedModel.
  • Hierarchic feature collections are decoded as a hierarchical ILcdModelTreeNode structure.
    • For example, the following document: 
    
      <my:featureCollectionA>
        <my:featureCollectionB>
        <my:featureA>
          ...
        </my:featureA>
        </my:featureCollectionB>
        <my:featureCollectionC>
        <my:featureB>
          ...
        </my:featureB>
        </my:featureCollectionC>
        <my:featureC>
          ...
        </my:featureC>
      </my:featureCollectionA>
    will be decoded as the followed model/element structure: 
           ILcdModelTreeNode (myFeatureCollectionA)
        +- ILcdModelTreeNode (myFeatureCollectionB)
        |   +- ILcdShape (myFeatureA)
        +- ILcdModelTreeNode (myFeatureCollectionC)
        |   +- ILcdShape (myFeatureB)
        +- ILcdShape (myFeatureC)

Model descriptor

  • All models returned by this model decoder have a TLcdGML2ModelDescriptor.
  • The type name of the model descriptor is the display name of this decoder.

Model reference

  • This model decoder supports all model references which can be parsed by the TLcdOGCModelReferenceParser.
  • This model decoder retrieves its model references from the srsName attribute specified within the GML files. The first coordinate reference system (CRS) that is encountered is used as the model reference. Geographic data defined in other CRS'es are transformed during decoding to this model reference CRS.

Model elements

All domain objects used within this library implement ILcdDataObject. The ILcdDataObject structure of each domain object is defined by the rules described in the default XML Schema - ILcdDataObject Mapping specification.

In addition, the following mapping applies:

AbstractFeatureCollectionType com.luciad.shape.ILcdShapeList
com.luciad.shape.shape3D.ILcd3DEditableShape
com.luciad.model.ILcd2DBoundsIndexedModel
com.luciad.model.ILcdIntegerIndexedModel

Useful settings

  • an EntityResolver2 can be configured on this model decoder, to control how to resolve external entities (such as XSD schemas). By default, an entity resolver is configured which resolves references to all OGC schemas supported by LuciadLightspeed.

Alternative decoding methods

This decoder can also be used to directly decode a file containing a single feature or a single geometry.

Sample code


 ILcdModelDecoder decoder = new TLcdGML2ModelDecoder();
 ILcdModel model = decoder.decode("world.gml2");

Thread safety

  • The decoding of models is thread-safe, as long as no properties are changed during the decoding.
  • The decoded models are thread-safe for read access.

  • Method Details

    • setEntityResolver

      public void setEntityResolver(EntityResolver2 aEntityResolver)
      Description copied from class: ALcdXMLModelDecoder

      Sets the org.xml.sax.ext.EntityResolver2 to be used for creating input sources for XSD schemas.

      When the entity resolver is unable to find a schema (i.e. the resolveEntity method returns null), the ALcdXMLModelDecoder.getInputStreamFactory() is used to create an appropriate input stream for the given system id of the schema.

      Parameters:
      aEntityResolver - the entity resolver to be used for creating input sources for XSD schemas.

    • canDecodeSource

      public boolean canDecodeSource(String aString)
      Description copied from interface: ILcdModelDecoder
      Checks whether this model decoder can decode the specified data source. It is acceptable for this method to return true for a source name while decode throws an exception for that same source name.

      For performance reasons, we strongly recommend that this will only be a simple test. For example: check the file extension of a file, but not that the file exists or contains expected content.

      Specified by:
      canDecodeSource in interface ILcdModelDecoder
      Parameters:
      aString - the data source to be verified; typically a file name or a URL.
      Returns:
      true if this decoder can likely decode the data specified by the source name, false otherwise.
      See Also:

    • decode

      public ILcdModel decode(String aSourceName) throws IOException
      Description copied from interface: ILcdModelDecoder
      Creates a new model from the given data source.
      Parameters:
      aSourceName - the data source to be decoded; typically a file name or a URL.
      Returns:
      A model containing the decoded data. While null is allowed, implementors are advised to throw an error instead.
      Throws:
      IOException - for any exceptions caused by IO problems or invalid data. Since decoding invalid data almost always results in RunTimeExceptions (NullPointerException, IndexOutOfBoundsException, IllegalArgumentException, ...) on unexpected places, implementations are advised to catch RuntimeExceptions in their decode() method, and wrap them into an IOException, as illustrated in the code snippet below. 
      
   public ILcdModel decode( String aSourceName ) throws IOException {
      try (InputStream input = fInputStreamFactory.createInputStream(aSourceName)) {
         // Perform decoding ...
      } catch (RuntimeException e) {
         throw new IOException(e);
      }
   }

      Description copied from class: ALcdXMLModelDecoder

      Returns:
      the entity resolver to be used for creating input sources for XSD schemas.

    • isUseApplicationSchemaCache

      public boolean isUseApplicationSchemaCache()
      Description copied from class: ALcdXMLModelDecoder

      Returns if application schemas are cached. When application schemas are cached, the decoder caches all applications schemas it encounters. When a certain schema is referenced during decoding, only if the schema is not found in the cache, it will be resolved. The default is not to cache.

      Note that in case multiple application schemas use the same namespace URI, it is not possible to turn on application schema caching because the decoder will not be able to discern between the different schemas.

      Specified by:
      isUseApplicationSchemaCache in class ALcdXMLModelDecoder
      Returns:
      if application schemas are cached

    • setInputStreamFactory

      public void setInputStreamFactory(ILcdInputStreamFactory aInputStreamFactory)
      Description copied from class: ALcdXMLModelDecoder
      Sets the ILcdInputStreamFactory to be used for creating input streams. If the configured entity resolver implements ILcdInputStreamFactoryCapable, it is also configured with this factory.
      Specified by:
      setInputStreamFactory in interface ILcdInputStreamFactoryCapable
      Specified by:
      setInputStreamFactory in class ALcdXMLModelDecoder
      Parameters:
      aInputStreamFactory - the input stream factory to be used by this model decoder.
