Interface FeatureLocking

All Superinterfaces:

FeatureSource, FeatureStore

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractFeatureLocking, JDBCFeatureLocking

public interface FeatureLocking

extends FeatureStore

Provides Feature based locking.

Features from individual shapefiles, database tables, etc. can be protected or reserved from modification through this interface.

This is a prototype DataSource replacement please see FeatureSource form more information

Method Detail

setFeatureLock

public void setFeatureLock(FeatureLock lock)

All locking operations will operate against the provided lock.

This in in keeping with the stateful spirit of DataSource in which operations are against the "current" transaction. If a FeatureLock is not provided lock operations will only be applicable for the current transaction (they will expire on the next commit or rollback).

That is lockFeatures() operations will:

• Be recorded against the provided FeatureLock.
• Be recorded against the current transaction if no FeatureLock is provided.

Calling this method with setFeatureLock( FeatureLock.TRANSACTION ) will revert to per transaction operation.

This design allows for the following:

• cross DataSource FeatureLock usage
• not having pass in the same FeatureLock object multiple times

lockFeatures

public int lockFeatures(Query query)
                 throws java.io.IOException

FeatureLock features described by Query.

To implement WFS parcial Locking retrieve your features with a query operation first before trying to lock them individually. If you are not into WFS please don't ask what parcial locking is.

Parameters:

query - Query describing the features to lock

Returns:

Number of features locked

Throws:

DataSourceException - Thrown if anything goes wrong

java.io.IOException

lockFeatures

public int lockFeatures(Filter filter)
                 throws java.io.IOException

FeatureLock features described by Filter.

To implement WFS parcial Locking retrieve your features with a query operation first before trying to lock them individually. If you are not into WFS please don't ask what parcial locking is.

Parameters:

filter - Filter describing the features to lock

Returns:

Number of features locked

Throws:

DataSourceException - Thrown if anything goes wrong

java.io.IOException

lockFeatures

public int lockFeatures()
                 throws java.io.IOException

FeatureLock all Features.

The method does not prevent addFeatures() from being used (we could add a lockDataSource() method if this functionality is required.

Returns:

Number of Features locked by this opperation

Throws:

DataSourceException

java.io.IOException

unLockFeatures

public void unLockFeatures()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Unlocks all Features.

Authorization must be provided prior before calling this method.

 void releaseLock( String lockId, LockingDataSource ds ){
    ds.setAuthorization( "LOCK534" );
    ds.unLockFeatures(); 
 }
 

Throws:

DataSourceException

java.io.IOException

unLockFeatures

public void unLockFeatures(Filter filter)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Unlock Features denoted by provided filter.

Authorization must be provided prior before calling this method.

Parameters:

filter -

Throws:

DataSourceException

java.io.IOException

unLockFeatures

public void unLockFeatures(Query query)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Unlock Features denoted by provided query.

Authorization must be provided prior before calling this method.

Parameters:

query - Specifies fatures to unlock

Throws:

DataSourceException

java.io.IOException
