Constructor Detail

DefaultUsability

public DefaultUsability()

Constructs an initially empty usability.

DefaultUsability

public DefaultUsability(Usability source)

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

Parameters:

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

Method Detail

castOrCopy

public static DefaultUsability castOrCopy(Usability 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).

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.
