Interface DescribeFeatureTypeType

All Superinterfaces:

BaseRequestType, EObject, Notifier

All Known Implementing Classes:

DescribeFeatureTypeTypeImpl

public interface DescribeFeatureTypeType
extends BaseRequestType

A representation of the model object 'Describe Feature Type Type'. The DescribeFeatureType operation allows a client application to request that a Web Feature Service describe one or more feature types. A Web Feature Service must be able to generate feature descriptions as valid GML3 application schemas. The schemas generated by the DescribeFeatureType operation can be used by a client application to validate the output. Feature instances within the WFS interface must be specified using GML3. The schema of feature instances specified within the WFS interface must validate against the feature schemas generated by the DescribeFeatureType request.

The following features are supported:

• Type Name
• Output Format

See Also:

WfsPackage.getDescribeFeatureTypeType()

Method Summary

String	getOutputFormat()	Returns the value of the 'Output Format' attribute.
EList	getTypeName()	Returns the value of the 'Type Name' attribute list.
boolean	isSetOutputFormat()	Returns whether the value of the 'Output Format' attribute is set.
void	setOutputFormat(String value)	Sets the value of the 'Output Format' attribute.
void	unsetOutputFormat()	Unsets the value of the 'Output Format' attribute.

Method Detail

getTypeName

EList getTypeName()

Returns the value of the 'Type Name' attribute list. The list contents are of type Object. The TypeName element is used to enumerate the feature types to be described. If no TypeName elements are specified then all features should be described. The name must be a valid type that belongs to the feature content as defined by the GML Application Schema.

Returns:

the value of the 'Type Name' attribute list.

getOutputFormat

String getOutputFormat()

Returns the value of the 'Output Format' attribute. The default value is "text/xml; subtype=gml/3.1.1". The outputFormat attribute is used to specify what schema description language should be used to describe features. The default value of 'text/xml; subtype=3.1.1' means that the WFS must generate a GML3 application schema that can be used to validate the GML3 output of a GetFeature request or feature instances specified in Transaction operations. For the purposes of experimentation, vendor extension, or even extensions that serve a specific community of interest, other acceptable output format values may be advertised by a WFS service in the capabilities document. The meaning of such values in not defined in the WFS specification. The only proviso is such cases is that clients may safely ignore outputFormat values that do not recognize.

Returns:

the value of the 'Output Format' attribute.

setOutputFormat

void setOutputFormat(String value)

Sets the value of the 'Output Format' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Output Format' attribute.

See Also:

isSetOutputFormat(), unsetOutputFormat(), getOutputFormat()

unsetOutputFormat

void unsetOutputFormat()

Unsets the value of the 'Output Format' attribute.

isSetOutputFormat

boolean isSetOutputFormat()

Returns whether the value of the 'Output Format' attribute is set.

Returns:

whether the value of the 'Output Format' attribute is set.
