Class CoordinateOperationFactoryUsingWKT

All Implemented Interfaces:
AuthorityFactory, Factory, CoordinateOperationAuthorityFactory, BufferedFactory, Factory, OptionalFactory, RegistrableFactory

public class CoordinateOperationFactoryUsingWKT extends DeferredAuthorityFactory implements CoordinateOperationAuthorityFactory
Authority factory that holds user-defined Coordinate Operations.

This factory can be used as a replacement for Coordinate Operations when there is no access to a complete EPSG database. Or can be used to override the coordinate operations defined in EPSG if assigned a higher priority.

The Coordinate Operations are defined as Well Known Text math transforms (see PropertyCoordinateOperationAuthorityFactory for format specification and examples).

Property file name is "epsg_operations.properties", and its possible locations are described here. If no property file is found, the factory won't be activated.

If an operation is not found in the properties file, this factory will delegate creation on a fallback factory. The fallback factory is the next registered CoordinateOperationAuthorityFactory after this one in the priority chain.
