Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
COORDINATES	Use coordinates (block, metaGridX, metaGridY, row, column)
FEATURE_ID	Use the external feature ID.
NONE	None, because the array design is a file-only platform.
POSITION	Use position number.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
private final boolean	caseInsensitive	If the feature identifiers may be affect by case sensitivity at the database level or not.
private final String	displayValue	Returned by the toString method.
private final int	value	The integer value of this method.
private static final Map<Integer,FeatureIdentificationMethod>	valueMapping	Maps an integer to a location.

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Modifier	Constructor	Description
private	FeatureIdentificationMethod(int value, boolean caseInsensitive, String displayValue)	Creates a new feature identification method.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	caseInsensitive()	Return TRUE if this identification method can be case insensitive.
static FeatureIdentificationMethod	fromValue(int value)	Get the FeatureIdentificationMethod object when you know the integer code.
(package private) abstract Object	getIdentifier(FeatureData feature)	Get the feature identifier for this method.
(package private) abstract Object	getIdentifier(RawData raw, String externalFeatureId)	Get a feature identifier using this method
int	getValue()	Get the integer value that is used when storing the feature identification method to the database.
String	toString()
static FeatureIdentificationMethod	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
static FeatureIdentificationMethod[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

NONE

public static final FeatureIdentificationMethod NONE

None, because the array design is a file-only platform.

COORDINATES

public static final FeatureIdentificationMethod COORDINATES

Use coordinates (block, metaGridX, metaGridY, row, column)

POSITION

public static final FeatureIdentificationMethod POSITION

Use position number.

FEATURE_ID

public static final FeatureIdentificationMethod FEATURE_ID

Use the external feature ID.

Field Details

valueMapping

private static final Map<Integer,FeatureIdentificationMethod> valueMapping

Maps an integer to a location.

value

private final int value

The integer value of this method.

displayValue

private final String displayValue

Returned by the toString method.

caseInsensitive

private final boolean caseInsensitive

If the feature identifiers may be affect by case sensitivity at the database level or not.

Constructor Details

FeatureIdentificationMethod

private FeatureIdentificationMethod(int value,
 boolean caseInsensitive,
 String displayValue)

Creates a new feature identification method. Used internal only.

Parameters:

value - The integer value of this location.

Method Details

values

public static FeatureIdentificationMethod[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static FeatureIdentificationMethod valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<FeatureIdentificationMethod>

fromValue

public static FeatureIdentificationMethod fromValue(int value)

Get the FeatureIdentificationMethod object when you know the integer code.

Parameters:

value - The integer value.

Returns:

The feature identification method for the integer value.

getValue

public int getValue()

Get the integer value that is used when storing the feature identification method to the database.

Returns:

The integer value for this method.

caseInsensitive

public boolean caseInsensitive()

Return TRUE if this identification method can be case insensitive. Ie. because the identifier is a string object. In this case we must check if the database is case sensitive or not. If FALSE, case is not in issue, ie. because the identifier is not a string object.

• DbEngine.caseInsensitiveComparison()

getIdentifier

abstract Object getIdentifier(FeatureData feature)

Get the feature identifier for this method.

Parameters:

feature - The feature to get the identifier for

getIdentifier

abstract Object getIdentifier(RawData raw,
 String externalFeatureId)

Get a feature identifier using this method

Parameters:

raw - The raw data to pick coordinates/position from

externalFeatureId - The external feature ID, null can be used if not needed by this particular identification method
