Interface FeatureFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractFeatureFactoryImpl, AppSchemaFeatureFactoryImpl, LenientFeatureFactoryImpl, ValidatingFeatureFactoryImpl
public interface FeatureFactory
Factory for creation of attributes, associations, and features.

Implementations of this interface should not contain any "special logic" for creating attributes and features. Method implementations should be straight through calls to a constructor.

2.2

    • createComplexAttribute

      ComplexAttribute createComplexAttribute(Collection<Property> value, AttributeDescriptor descriptor, String id)
      Creates a complex attribute.

      descriptor.getType() must be an instance of ComplexType.

      Parameters:
      value - The value of the attribute, a collection of properties.
      descriptor - The attribute descriptor.

    • createComplexAttribute

      ComplexAttribute createComplexAttribute(Collection<Property> value, ComplexType type, String id)
      Creates a complex attribute.
      Parameters:
      value - The value of the attribute, a collection of properties.
      type - The type of the attribute.
      id - The id of the attribute, may be null.

    • createFeature

      Feature createFeature(Collection<Property> value, AttributeDescriptor descriptor, String id)
      Creates a feature.

      descriptor.getType() must be an instance of FeatureType.

      Parameters:
      value - The value of the feature, a collection of properties.
      descriptor - The attribute descriptor.

      Creates a feature.
      Parameters:
      value - The value of the feature, a collection of properties.
      type - The type of the feature.
      id - The id of the feature.

    • createSimpleFeature

      SimpleFeature createSimpleFeature(Object[] array, SimpleFeatureType type, String id)
      Create a SimpleFeature from an array of objects.

      Please note that the provided array may be used directly by an implementation.

      Parameters:
      array - Object array of values; this array may beused directly.
      type - The type of the simple feature.
      id - The id of the feature.

      Creates a simple feature.

      descriptor.getType() must be an instance of SimpleFeatureType.

      Parameters:
      array - Object array of values; this array may be used directly.
      descriptor - The attribute descriptor.
      id - The id of the feature.
