Class DefaultRecordType

java.lang.Object
org.apache.sis.util.iso.DefaultRecordType
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, org.opengis.util.RecordType, org.opengis.util.Type

public class DefaultRecordType extends Object implements org.opengis.util.RecordType, Serializable
An immutable definition of the type of a record. A RecordType is identified by a type name and contains an arbitrary number of members (fields) as (name, type) pairs. A RecordType may therefore contain another RecordType as a field.
Comparison with Java reflection: RecordType instances can be though as equivalent to instances of the Java Class class. The set of fields in a RecordType can be though as equivalent to the set of fields in a class.

Instantiation

The easiest way to create DefaultRecordType instances is to use the DefaultRecordSchema.createRecordType(CharSequence, Map) method. Example:

Immutability and thread safety

This class is immutable and thus inherently thread-safe if the TypeName, the RecordSchema and all (MemberName, Type) entries in the map given to the constructor are also immutable. Subclasses shall make sure that any overridden methods remain safe to call from multiple threads and do not change any public RecordType state.

Serialization

This class is serializable if all elements given to the constructor are also serializable. Note in particular that DefaultRecordSchema is currently not serializable, so users wanting serialization may need to provide their own schema.

    • DefaultRecordType

      public DefaultRecordType(org.opengis.util.RecordType other)
      Creates a new record with the same names and fields than the given one.
      Parameters:
      other - the RecordType to copy.
    • DefaultRecordType

      public DefaultRecordType(org.opengis.util.TypeName typeName, org.opengis.util.RecordSchema container, Map<? extends org.opengis.util.MemberName,? extends org.opengis.util.Type> fields)
      Creates a new record in the given schema. It is caller responsibility to add the new RecordType in the container description map, if desired.

      This constructor is provided mostly for developers who want to create DefaultRecordType instances in their own RecordSchema implementation. Otherwise if the default record schema implementation is sufficient, the DefaultRecordSchema.createRecordType(CharSequence, Map) method provides an easier alternative.

      Parameters:
      typeName - the name that identifies this record type.
      container - the schema that contains this record type.
      fields - the name and type of the fields to be included in this record type.

    • castOrCopy

      public static DefaultRecordType castOrCopy(org.opengis.util.RecordType other)
      Returns a SIS implementation with the name and fields of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:
      • If the given object is null, then this method returns null.
      • Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of DefaultRecordType, then it is returned unchanged.
      • Otherwise a new DefaultRecordType instance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, since the fields contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
      Parameters:
      other - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or null if none.
      Returns:
      a SIS implementation containing the fields of the given object (may be the given object itself), or null if the argument was null.
    • getTypeName

      public org.opengis.util.TypeName getTypeName()
      Returns the name that identifies this record type. If this RecordType is contained in a record schema, then the record type name shall be valid in the name space of the record schema:
      Comparison with Java reflection: If we think about this RecordType as equivalent to a Class instance, then this method can be think as the equivalent of the Java Class.getName() method.
      Specified by:
      getTypeName in interface org.opengis.util.RecordType
      Specified by:
      getTypeName in interface org.opengis.util.Type
      Returns:
      the name that identifies this record type.
    • getContainer

      @Deprecated public org.opengis.util.RecordSchema getContainer()
      Deprecated.
      The RecordSchema interface has been removed in the 2015 revision of ISO 19103 standard.
      Returns the schema that contains this record type.
      Specified by:
      getContainer in interface org.opengis.util.RecordType
      Returns:

      Renamed getFieldTypes() for consistency with the 2015 revision of ISO 19103 standard.
      Returns the dictionary of all (name, type) pairs in this record type. The returned map is unmodifiable.
      Comparison with Java reflection: If we think about this RecordType as equivalent to a Class instance, then this method can be though as the related to the Java Class.getFields() method.
      Specified by:
      getMemberTypes in interface org.opengis.util.RecordType
      Returns:
      the dictionary of (name, type) pairs, or an empty map if none.
    • getFieldTypes

      public Map<org.opengis.util.MemberName,org.opengis.util.Type> getFieldTypes()
      Returns the dictionary of all (name, type) pairs in this record type. The returned map is unmodifiable.

    • getMembers

      public Set<org.opengis.util.MemberName> getMembers()
      Returns the set of attribute names defined in this RecordType's dictionary. This method is functionally equivalent to the following code, but slightly more efficient:
      Specified by:
      getMembers in interface org.opengis.util.RecordType
      Returns:
      the set of field names, or an empty set if none.
    • locate

      public org.opengis.util.TypeName locate(org.opengis.util.MemberName fieldName)
      Returns the type associated to the given attribute name, or null if none. This method is functionally equivalent to (omitting the check for null value):
      Comparison with Java reflection: If we think about this RecordType as equivalent to a Class instance, then this method can be though as related to the Java Class.getField(String) method.
      Specified by:
      locate in interface org.opengis.util.RecordType
      Parameters:
      fieldName - the attribute name for which to get the associated type name.
      Returns:
      the associated type name, or null if none.
    • isInstance

      public boolean isInstance(org.opengis.util.Record record)
      Determines if the given record is compatible with this record type. This method returns true if the given record argument is non-null and the following condition holds:
      Implementation note: We do not require that record.getRecordType() == this in order to allow record "sub-types" to define additional fields, in a way similar to Java sub-classing.
      Specified by:
      isInstance in interface org.opengis.util.RecordType
      Parameters:
      record - the record to test for compatibility.
      Returns:
      true if the given record is compatible with this RecordType.
    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object other)
      Compares the given object with this RecordType for equality.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      other - the object to compare with this RecordType.
      Returns:
      true if both objects are equal.
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code value for this RecordType.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object

      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      a string representation of this record type.
