public abstract class AbstractAuthorityFactory
extends ReferencingFactory
implements AuthorityFactory

Base class for authority factories. An authority is an organization that maintains definitions of authority codes. An authority code is a compact string defined by an authority to reference a particular spatial reference object. For example the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) maintains a database of coordinate systems, and other spatial referencing objects, where each object has a code number ID. For example, the EPSG code for a WGS84 Lat/Lon coordinate system is "4326".

This class defines a default implementation for most methods defined in the DatumAuthorityFactory, CSAuthorityFactory and CRSAuthorityFactory interfaces. However, those interfaces do not appear in the implements clause of this class declaration. This is up to subclasses to decide which interfaces they declare to implement.

The default implementation for all createFoo methods ultimately invokes createObject(java.lang.String), which may be the only method that a subclass need to override. However, other methods may be overridden as well for better performances.

Creates an operation from coordinate reference system codes. The default implementation returns an empty set. We do not delegate to some kind of coordinate operation factory method because the usual contract for this method is to extract the information from an authority database like EPSG, not to compute operations on-the-fly.

Rational: Coordinate operation factory backed by an authority will invoke this method. If this method invoked the coordinate operation factory in turn, the application could be trapped in infinite recursive calls.

Parameters:

sourceCRS - Coded value of source coordinate reference system.

targetCRS - Coded value of target coordinate reference system.

Returns:

The operations from sourceCRS to targetCRS.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if a specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

Since:

2.2

getIdentifiedObjectFinder

public IdentifiedObjectFinder getIdentifiedObjectFinder(Class<? extends IdentifiedObject> type)
                                                 throws FactoryException

Returns a finder which can be used for looking up unidentified objects. The finder fetchs a fully identified object from an incomplete one, for example from an object without identifier or "AUTHORITY[...]" element in Well Known Text terminology.

Parameters:

type - The type of objects to look for. Should be a GeoAPI interface like GeographicCRS.class, but this method accepts also implementation class. If the type is unknown, use IdentifiedObject.class. A more accurate type may help to speed up the search, since it reduces the amount of tables to scan in some implementations like the factories backed by EPSG database.

Returns:

A finder to use for looking up unidentified objects.

Throws:

FactoryException - if the finder can not be created.

Since:

2.4

dispose

public void dispose()
             throws FactoryException

Releases resources immediately instead of waiting for the garbage collector. Once a factory has been disposed, further create(...) invocations may throw a FactoryException. Disposing a previously-disposed factory, however, has no effect.

Throws:

FactoryException - if an error occured while disposing the factory.

trimAuthority

protected String trimAuthority(String code)

Trims the authority scope, if present. For example if this factory is an EPSG authority factory and the specified code start with the "EPSG:" prefix, then the prefix is removed. Otherwise, the string is returned unchanged (except for leading and trailing spaces).

Parameters:

code - The code to trim.

Returns:

The code without the authority scope.

noSuchAuthorityCode

protected final NoSuchAuthorityCodeException noSuchAuthorityCode(Class type,
                                                                 String code)

Creates an exception for an unknow authority code. This convenience method is provided for implementation of createXXX methods.

Parameters:

type - The GeoAPI interface that was to be created (e.g. CoordinateReferenceSystem.class).

code - The unknow authority code.

Returns:

An exception initialized with an error message built from the specified informations.
