@UML(identifier="NameSpace", specification=ISO_19103) public interface Namespace extends Set<Name>
A namespace contains Name
objects. Each name usually corresponds to the name of a
type. The namespace uri of each name (getURI()
is the same as the uri of the
Namespace object containing it (getURI()
.
//create namespace for gml Namespace namespace = new NamespaceImpl( "http://www.opengis.net/gml" ); //add some names namespace.add( new NameImpl( "http://www.opengis.net/gml", "PointType" ) ); namespace.add( new NameImpl( "http://www.opengis.net/gml", "LineStringType" ) ); namespace.add( new NameImpl( "http://www.opengis.net/gml", "PolygonType" ) ); namespace.add( new NameImpl( "http://www.opengis.net/gml", "AbstractFeatureType" );
One allowance ISO_19103 allows for is having a Namespace located inside another namespace. You may certaintly do this by constructing a facility similar to Schema in which namespaces may be looked up via a Name with the same URI as the one used here.
We are simply not dictating the lookup mechanism, or a backpointer to a containing namespace (note the two solutions are in conflict and we would like to offer application the freedom to back this interface onto a facility such as JNDI used in their own application).
Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
String |
getURI()
The namespace uri of this namespace.

Name |
lookup(String name)
Looks up a name in the namespace.

add, addAll, clear, contains, containsAll, equals, hashCode, isEmpty, iterator, remove, removeAll, retainAll, size, spliterator, toArray, toArray
parallelStream, removeIf, stream
String getURI()
This value can never be null
.
Name lookup(String name)
Since all Name objects in the namespace share the same uri as the namespace itself, only the local part of the name is specified.
This method returns null
if no such name exists.
name
- The local part of the name to look up.null
