Interface WFSResponseFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractGetFeatureResponseParserFactory, AbstractWFSResponseFactory, ComplexGetFeatureResponseParserFactory, DescribeFeatureTypeResponseFactory, DescribeStoredQueriesResponseFactory, GetFeatureResponseParserFactory, GmlGetFeatureResponseParserFactory, ListStoredQueriesResponseFactory, TransactionResponseFactory

public interface WFSResponseFactory

A factory interface meant to be used through the usual GeoTools SPI mechanism to dynamically find out a parser capable of processing a WFS response based on the request to be sent.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	canProcess(WFSOperationType operation)
boolean	canProcess(WFSRequest originatingRequest, String contentType) Indicates whether this factory is able to produce a parser that deals with the possible responses of the given WFS request.
WFSResponse	createResponse(WFSRequest request, HTTPResponse response) Creates a response parser for the given WFS response.
List<String>	getSupportedOutputFormats()
boolean	isAvailable() Indicates whether the factory instance is able to create parser instances.

Method Detail

isAvailable

boolean isAvailable()

Indicates whether the factory instance is able to create parser instances.

Returns:

true if there's nothing preventing the creation of the parsers this factory should produce

canProcess

boolean canProcess(WFSRequest originatingRequest,
                   String contentType)

Indicates whether this factory is able to produce a parser that deals with the possible responses of the given WFS request.

The decision may usually be made depending on the request type, ouput format, etc

Returns:

true if this factory can create a parser for the responses of the given request

createResponse

WFSResponse createResponse(WFSRequest request,
                           HTTPResponse response)
                    throws IOException

Creates a response parser for the given WFS response.

Parameters:

response - the handle to the response contents the WFS sent

Returns:

a WFSResponseParser that can deal with the given WFS response

Throws:

IOException

canProcess

boolean canProcess(WFSOperationType operation)

getSupportedOutputFormats

List<String> getSupportedOutputFormats()
