Class CommonAuthorityFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:
org.opengis.referencing.AuthorityFactory, org.opengis.referencing.crs.CRSAuthorityFactory, org.opengis.util.Factory

public class CommonAuthorityFactory extends GeodeticAuthorityFactory implements org.opengis.referencing.crs.CRSAuthorityFactory
Creates coordinate reference systems in the "OGC", "CRS" or "AUTO(2)" namespaces. All namespaces recognized by this factory are defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). Most codes map to one of the constants in the CommonCRS enumeration.

Note on codes in CRS namespace

The format is usually "CRS:n" where n is a number like 27, 83 or 84. However, this factory is lenient and allows the CRS part to be repeated as in "CRS:CRS84". It also accepts "OGC" as a synonymous of the "CRS" namespace.
Examples: "CRS:27", "CRS:83", "CRS:84", "CRS:CRS84", "OGC:CRS84".

Note on codes in AUTO(2) namespace

The format is usually "AUTO2:n,factor,λ₀,φ₀" where n is a number between 42001 and 42005 inclusive, factor is a conversion factor from the CRS units to metres (e.g. 0.3048 for a CRS with axes in feet) and (λ₀,φ₀) is the longitude and latitude of a point in the projection centre.
Examples: "AUTO2:42001,1,-100,45" identifies a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection for a zone containing the point at (45°N, 100°W) with axes in metres.
Codes in the "AUTO" namespace are the same than codes in the "AUTO2" namespace, except that the EPSG code of the desired unit of measurement was used instead of the unit factor. The "AUTO" namespace was defined in the Web Map Service (WMS) 1.1.1 specification while the "AUTO2" namespace is defined in WMS 1.3.0. In Apache SIS implementation, the unit parameter (either as factor or as EPSG code) is optional and defaults to metres.

In the AUTO(2):42001 case, the UTM zone is calculated as specified in WMS 1.3 specification, i.e. without taking in account the Norway and Svalbard special cases and without switching to polar stereographic projections for high latitudes.

  • Constructor Details

    • CommonAuthorityFactory

      public CommonAuthorityFactory()
      Constructs a default factory for the CRS authority.
  • Method Details

    • getAuthority

      public org.opengis.metadata.citation.Citation getAuthority()
      Returns the specification that defines the codes recognized by this factory. The definitive source for this factory is OGC Web Map Service (WMS) specification, also available as the ISO 19128 Geographic Information — Web map server interface standard.

      While the authority is WMS, the namespace of that authority is set to "OGC". Apache SIS does that for consistency with the namespace used in URNs (for example "urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84").

      Specified by:
      getAuthority in interface org.opengis.referencing.AuthorityFactory
      Specified by:
      getAuthority in class GeodeticAuthorityFactory
      Returns:
      the "Web Map Service" authority.
      See Also:
    • getAuthorityCodes

      public Set<String> getAuthorityCodes(Class<? extends org.opengis.referencing.IdentifiedObject> type) throws org.opengis.util.FactoryException
      Provides a complete set of the known codes provided by this factory. The returned set contains a namespace followed by identifiers like "CRS:84", "CRS:27", "AUTO2:42001", etc.
      Specified by:
      getAuthorityCodes in interface org.opengis.referencing.AuthorityFactory
      Parameters:
      type - the spatial reference objects type.
      Returns:
      the set of authority codes for spatial reference objects of the given type.
      Throws:
      org.opengis.util.FactoryException - if this method failed to provide the set of codes.
    • getCodeSpaces

      public Set<String> getCodeSpaces()
      Returns the namespaces defined by the OGC specifications implemented by this factory. At the difference of other factories, the namespaces of CommonAuthorityFactory are quite different than the authority title or identifier:
      • Authority: "WMS" (for "Web Map Services")
      • Namespaces: "CRS", "AUTO", "AUTO2". The "OGC" namespace is also accepted for compatibility reason, but its scope is wider than the above-cited namespaces.
      Overrides:
      getCodeSpaces in class GeodeticAuthorityFactory
      Returns:
      a set containing at least the "CRS", "AUTO" and "AUTO2" strings.
      See Also:
    • getDescriptionText

      public org.opengis.util.InternationalString getDescriptionText(String code) throws org.opengis.util.FactoryException
      Returns a description of the object corresponding to a code. The description can be used for example in a combo box in a graphical user interface.

      Codes in the "AUTO(2)" namespace do not need parameters for this method. But if parameters are nevertheless specified, then they will be taken in account.

      Examples
      Argument value Return value
      CRS:84 WGS 84
      AUTO2:42001 WGS 84 / Auto UTM
      AUTO2:42001,1,-100,45 WGS 84 / UTM zone 47N
      Specified by:
      getDescriptionText in interface org.opengis.referencing.AuthorityFactory
      Overrides:
      getDescriptionText in class GeodeticAuthorityFactory
      Parameters:
      code - value in the CRS or AUTO(2) code space.
      Returns:
      a description of the object.
      Throws:
      org.opengis.referencing.NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
      org.opengis.util.FactoryException - if an error occurred while fetching the description.
    • createObject

      public org.opengis.referencing.IdentifiedObject createObject(String code) throws org.opengis.util.FactoryException
      Creates an object from the specified code. The default implementation delegates to createCoordinateReferenceSystem(String).
      Specified by:
      createObject in interface org.opengis.referencing.AuthorityFactory
      Specified by:
      createObject in class GeodeticAuthorityFactory
      Parameters:
      code - value allocated by authority.
      Returns:
      the object for the given code.
      Throws:
      org.opengis.util.FactoryException - if the object creation failed.
      See Also:
    • createCoordinateReferenceSystem

      public org.opengis.referencing.crs.CoordinateReferenceSystem createCoordinateReferenceSystem(String code) throws org.opengis.util.FactoryException
      Creates a coordinate reference system from the specified code. This method performs the following steps:
      1. Skip the "OGC", "CRS", "AUTO", "AUTO1" or "AUTO2" namespace if present (ignoring case). All other namespaces will cause an exception to be thrown.
      2. Skip the "CRS" prefix if present. This additional check is for accepting codes like "OGC:CRS84" (not a valid CRS code, but seen in practice).
      3. In the remaining text, interpret the integer value as documented in this class javadoc. Note that some codes require coma-separated parameters after the integer value.
      Specified by:
      createCoordinateReferenceSystem in interface org.opengis.referencing.crs.CRSAuthorityFactory
      Overrides:
      createCoordinateReferenceSystem in class GeodeticAuthorityFactory
      Parameters:
      code - value allocated by OGC.
      Returns:
      the coordinate reference system for the given code.
      Throws:
      org.opengis.util.FactoryException - if the object creation failed.
