Method Detail

setFilterFactory

public void setFilterFactory(FilterFactory2 factory)

Setter injection

start

public void start(short filterType)
           throws IllegalFilterException

Handles all incoming generic string 'messages,' including a message to create the filter, based on the XML tag that represents the start of the filter.

Parameters:

filterType - The string from the SAX filter.

Throws:

IllegalFilterException - Filter is illegal.

value

public void value(String message)
           throws IllegalFilterException

Handles all incoming generic string 'messages,' including a message to create the filter, based on the XML tag that represents the start of the filter.

Parameters:

message - The string from the SAX filter.

Throws:

IllegalFilterException - Filter is illegal.

expression

public void expression(Expression expression)
                throws IllegalFilterException

Adds the passed in expression to the current filter. Generally created by the ExpressionSAXParser.

Parameters:

expression - The value of the attribute for comparison.

Throws:

IllegalFilterException - if the expression does not match what the current filter is expecting.

TODO:

REVISIT: split this method up.

create

public Filter create()
              throws IllegalFilterException

Creates the filter held in the parser.

Returns:

The current filter to be created by this parser.

Throws:

IllegalFilterException - If called before the filter is in a complete state.

setDistance

public void setDistance(String distance,
                        String units)
                 throws IllegalFilterException

This sets the distance for a GeometryDistanceFilter. It currently ignores the units, and attempts to convert the distance to a double.

Parameters:

distance - the distance - should be a string of a double.

units - a reference to a units dictionary.

Throws:

IllegalFilterException - if the distance string can not be converted to a double.

TODO:

TODO: Implement units, probably with org.geotools.units package and a special distance class in the filter package. It would be nice if the distance class could get any type of units, like it would handle the conversion.

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(Attributes atts)

Sets the filter attributes. Called when attributes are encountered by the filter filter. Puts them in a hash map by thier name and value.

Parameters:

atts - the attributes to set.
