public interface FeatureStore<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
extends FeatureSource<T,F>

This interface extends FeatureSource, adding methods to add and remove features and to modify existing features.

 DataStore myDataStore = ...
 FeatureSource featureSource = myDataStore.getFeatureSource("aname");
 if (featureSource instanceof FeatureStore) {
     // we have write access to the feature data
     FeatureStore featureStore = (FeatureStore) featureSource;

     // add some new features
     Transaction t = new DefaultTransaction("add");
     featureStore.setTransaction(t);
     try {
         featureStore.addFeatures( someFeatures );
         t.commit();
     } catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
         t.rollback();
     } finally {
         t.close();
     }
 }

Method Detail

addFeatures

List<FeatureId> addFeatures(FeatureCollection<T,F> featureCollection)
                            throws IOException

Adds all features from the feature collection.

A list of FeatureIds is returned, one for each feature in the order created. However, these might not be assigned until after a commit has been performed.

Parameters:

featureCollection - the collection of features to add

Returns:

the FeatureIds of the newly added features

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs modifying the data source

removeFeatures

void removeFeatures(Filter filter)
                    throws IOException

Removes features selected by the given filter.

Parameters:

filter - an OpenGIS filter

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs modifying the data source

modifyFeatures

void modifyFeatures(Name[] attributeNames,
                    Object[] attributeValues,
                    Filter filter)
                    throws IOException

Modifies the attributes with the supplied values in all features selected by the given filter.

Parameters:

attributeNames - the attributes to modify

attributeValues - the new values for the attributes

filter - an OpenGIS filter

Throws:

IOException - if the attribute and object arrays are not equal in length; if the value types do not match the attribute types; if modification is not supported; or if there errors accessing the data source

modifyFeatures

void modifyFeatures(AttributeDescriptor[] type,
                    Object[] value,
                    Filter filter)
                    throws IOException

Deprecated. Please use the safer method modifyFeatures(Name[], Object[], Filter)

For backwards compatibility; please be careful that your descriptor is actually compatible with the one declared.

Parameters:

type - the attributes to modify

value - the new values for the attributes

filter - an OpenGIS filter

Throws:

IOException

modifyFeatures

void modifyFeatures(Name attributeName,
                    Object attributeValue,
                    Filter filter)
                    throws IOException

Modifies an attribute with the supplied value in all features selected by the given filter.

Parameters:

attributeName - the attribute to modify

attributeValue - the new value for the attribute

filter - an OpenGIS filter

Throws:

IOException - if modification is not supported; if the value type does not match the attribute type; or if there errors accessing the data source

modifyFeatures

void modifyFeatures(AttributeDescriptor type,
                    Object value,
                    Filter filter)
                    throws IOException

Deprecated. Please use the safer method modifyFeatures(Name, Object, Filter)

For backwards compatibility; please be careful that your descriptor is actually compatible with the one declared.

Parameters:

type - the attribute to modify

value - the new value for the attribute

filter - an OpenGIS filter

Throws:

IOException

setFeatures

void setFeatures(FeatureReader<T,F> reader)
                 throws IOException

Deletes any existing features in the data source and then inserts new features provided by the given reader. This is primarily used as a convenience method for file-based data sources.

Parameters:

reader - - the collection to be written

Throws:

IOException - if there are any datasource errors.

setTransaction

void setTransaction(Transaction transaction)

Provide a transaction for commit/rollback control of a modifying operation on this FeatureStore.

 Transation t = new DefaultTransaction();
 featureStore.setTransaction(t);
 try {
     featureStore.addFeatures( someFeatures );
     t.commit();
 } catch ( IOException ex ) {
     // something went wrong;
     ex.printStackTrace();
     t.rollback();
 } finally {
     t.close();
 }
 

Parameters:

transaction - the transaction

getTransaction

Transaction getTransaction()

Gets the Transaction that this FeatureStore is currently operating against.

 Transaction t = featureStore.getTransaction();
 try {
     featureStore.addFeatures( features );
     t.commit();
 } catch( IOException erp ){
     // something went wrong;
     ex.printStackTrace();
     t.rollback();
 }
 

Returns:

Transaction in use, or Transaction.AUTO_COMMIT
