Class FilteringFeatureReader<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>

Object

FilteringFeatureReader<T,F>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, DelegatingFeatureReader<T,F>, FeatureReader<T,F>

Direct Known Subclasses:

FilteringSimpleFeatureReader

public class FilteringFeatureReader<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
extends Object
implements DelegatingFeatureReader<T,F>

Basic support for a FeatureReader<SimpleFeatureType, SimpleFeature> that does filtering. I think that filtering should perhaps be done in the AttributeReader. I'm still having a bit of trouble with the split between attributeReader and featureReader as to where the hooks for advanced processing like filtering should take place. See my note on hasNext(), as the method is currently broken and there are more optimizations that could take place if we had a FilteringAttributeReader. So this class may go, but I thought I'd put the ideas into code.

Jody here - changed hasNext() to peek as required.

Constructor Details

FilteringFeatureReader

public FilteringFeatureReader(FeatureReader<T,F> featureReader,
 Filter filter)

Creates a new instance of AbstractFeatureReader

Please don't call this method with Filter.INCLUDE or Filter.EXCLUDE (consider not filtering and EmptyFeatureReader instead)

Parameters:

featureReader - FeatureReader<SimpleFeatureType, SimpleFeature> being filtered

filter - Filter used to limit the results of featureReader

Method Details

getDelegate

public FeatureReader<T,F> getDelegate()

Specified by:

getDelegate in interface DelegatingFeatureReader<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>

Returns:

THe delegate reader.

next

public F next()
       throws IOException,
IllegalAttributeException,
NoSuchElementException

Description copied from interface: FeatureReader

Reads the next Feature in the FeatureReader.

Specified by:

next in interface FeatureReader<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>

Returns:

The next feature in the reader.

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs reading the Feature.

NoSuchElementException - If there are no more Features in the Reader.

IllegalAttributeException

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: FeatureReader

Release the underlying resources associated with this stream.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface FeatureReader<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

getFeatureType

public T getFeatureType()

Description copied from interface: FeatureReader

Return the FeatureType this reader has been configured to create.

Specified by:

getFeatureType in interface FeatureReader<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>

Returns:

the FeatureType of the Features this FeatureReader will create.

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()
                throws IOException

Query for additional content.

This class will peek ahead to see if there is additional content.

Chris has pointed out that we could make use of AttributeReader based filtering:
"Also doing things in the Attribute Reader would allow us to do the smart filtering, only looking at the attributes needed for comparison, whereas doing filtering here means we have to create an entire feature each time."

Specified by:

hasNext in interface FeatureReader<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>

Returns:

true if we have additional content

Throws:

IOException - If the reader we are filtering encounters a problem

DataSourceException - See IOException
