Package com.luciad.format.sqlite.lrdb

Class TLcdLRDBModelDecoder

java.lang.Object

com.luciad.format.sqlite.lrdb.TLcdLRDBModelDecoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ILcdModelDecoder

@LcdService(service=ILcdModelDecoder.class,
            priority=20000)
public class TLcdLRDBModelDecoder
extends Object
implements ILcdModelDecoder

A model decoder that decodes Luciad Raster Databases (LRDB).

This format is intended for use only with existing Luciad applications and should not be used otherwise. If you are looking for an SQLite-based exchange format, we advise to use OGC GeoPackage instead.

Input Files

File	Required	Entry point	Description
*.lrdb	X	X	The database file

Supported file transfer protocols

• This model decoder supports all transfer protocols that are supported by java.io.File.

Model structure

• All models returned by this model decoder implement ILcdModel.

Model descriptor

• All models returned by this model decoder have a descriptor that implements the ILcdDataSourceModelDescriptor and ILcdEarthModelDescriptor interfaces.
• The type name of the model descriptor will be either IMAGERY_TYPE_NAME or ELEVATION_TYPE_NAME depending on the content of the LRDB file.

Model reference

• All models returned by this model decoder have a com.luciad.reference.ILcdGridReference or com.luciad.reference.ILcdGeodeticReference.

Model elements

• Each decoded model contains a single implementation of ALcdImage and ILcdEarthTileSet.

Thread safety

• The decoded models are thread-safe for read access.

Since:

2013.1

Constructor Details

TLcdLRDBModelDecoder

public TLcdLRDBModelDecoder()

Creates a new LRDB model decoder.

Method Details

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

Returns:

the displayable name of this ILcdModelDecoder.

canDecodeSource

public boolean canDecodeSource(String aSourceName)

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:

aSourceName - 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.

• ILcdModelDecoder.decode(String)
• ILcdModelDecoder.decodeModelMetadata(String)

decode

public ILcdModel decode(String aSourceName)
                 throws IOException

Description copied from interface: ILcdModelDecoder

Creates a new model from the given data source.

Specified by:

decode in interface ILcdModelDecoder

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);
      }
   }
