Constructor Detail

DefaultConstraints

public DefaultConstraints()

Constructs an initially empty constraints.

DefaultConstraints

public DefaultConstraints(CharSequence useLimitation)

Constructs a new constraints with the given use limitation.

Parameters:

useLimitation - The use limitation, or null if none.

Since:

3.20

DefaultConstraints

public DefaultConstraints(Constraints source)

Constructs a metadata entity initialized with the values from the specified metadata.

Parameters:

source - The metadata to copy, or null if none.

Since:

2.4

Method Detail

castOrCopy

public static DefaultConstraints castOrCopy(Constraints object)

Returns a Geotk metadata implementation with the same values than the given arbitrary implementation. If the given object is null, then this method returns null. Otherwise if the given object is already a Geotk implementation, then the given object is returned unchanged. Otherwise a new Geotk implementation is created and initialized to the attribute values of the given object, using a shallow copy operation (i.e. attributes are not cloned).

This method checks for the LegalConstraints and SecurityConstraints sub-interfaces. If one of those interfaces is found, then this method delegates to the corresponding castOrCopy static method. If the given object implements more than one of the above-cited interfaces, then the castOrCopy method to be used is unspecified.

Parameters:

object - The object to get as a Geotk implementation, or null if none.

Returns:

A Geotk implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or null if the argument was null.

Since:

3.18

getUseLimitations

public Collection<InternationalString> getUseLimitations()

Returns the limitation affecting the fitness for use of the resource. Example: "not to be used for navigation".

Specified by:

getUseLimitations in interface Constraints

setUseLimitations

public void setUseLimitations(Collection<? extends InternationalString> newValues)

Sets the limitation affecting the fitness for use of the resource. Example: "not to be used for navigation".

Parameters:

newValues - The new use limitation.
