Class FilterAttributeExtractor

Object

DefaultFilterVisitor

FilterAttributeExtractor

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExpressionVisitor, FilterVisitor

Direct Known Subclasses:

MetaBufferEstimator, StyleAttributeExtractor

public class FilterAttributeExtractor
extends DefaultFilterVisitor

A simple visitor that extracts every attribute used by a filter or an expression

Access to this class is available via:

• DataUtilities.attributeNames( Filter )
• DataUtilities.attributeNames( Filter, FeatureType )
• DataUtilities.attributeNames( Expression )
• DataUtilities.attributeNames( Expression, FeatureType )

The class can also be used to determine if an expression is "static", that is, despite a complex structure does not use attribute or volatile functions, and can be thus replaced by a constant: for this use case refer to the isConstantExpression() method

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
protected Set<String>	attributeNames Last set visited
protected SimpleFeatureType	featureType feature type to evaluate against

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor and Description
FilterAttributeExtractor() Just extract the property names; don't check against a feature type.
FilterAttributeExtractor(SimpleFeatureType featureType) Use the provided feature type as a sanity check when extracting property names.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	clear() Resets the attributes found so that a new attribute search can be performed
String[]	getAttributeNames() Array of attribute names found (so far).
Set<String>	getAttributeNameSet() Attributes names found (so far).
Set<PropertyName>	getPropertyNameSet() Lists the PropertyNames found so far; useful when dealing with cpath expressions involving namespace informaiton.
boolean	isConstantExpression() Returns true if the last visited expression is a constant, that is, does not depend on any attribute and does not use any VolatileFunction
boolean	isUsingDynamincProperties() Returns true if the expression is using dynamic property names, so a static analysis of the expression won't be able to return all the properties in use
Object	visit(Function expression, Object data)
Object	visit(PropertyName expression, Object data)

Constructor Detail

FilterAttributeExtractor

public FilterAttributeExtractor()

Just extract the property names; don't check against a feature type.

FilterAttributeExtractor

public FilterAttributeExtractor(SimpleFeatureType featureType)

Use the provided feature type as a sanity check when extracting property names.

Method Detail

getAttributeNameSet

public Set<String> getAttributeNameSet()

Attributes names found (so far).

Returns:

an unmofiable set of the attribute names found so far during the visit

getPropertyNameSet

public Set<PropertyName> getPropertyNameSet()

Lists the PropertyNames found so far; useful when dealing with cpath expressions involving namespace informaiton.

getAttributeNames

public String[] getAttributeNames()

Array of attribute names found (so far).

Returns:

an array of the attribute names found so far during the visit

clear

public void clear()

Resets the attributes found so that a new attribute search can be performed

visit

public Object visit(PropertyName expression,
                    Object data)

Specified by:

visit in interface ExpressionVisitor

Overrides:

visit in class DefaultFilterVisitor

visit

public Object visit(Function expression,
                    Object data)

Specified by:

visit in interface ExpressionVisitor

Overrides:

isConstantExpression

public boolean isConstantExpression()

Returns true if the last visited expression is a constant, that is, does not depend on any attribute and does not use any VolatileFunction

isUsingDynamincProperties

public boolean isUsingDynamincProperties()

Returns true if the expression is using dynamic property names, so a static analysis of the expression won't be able to return all the properties in use
