Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static final CouplingType	LOOSE	Service instance is loosely coupled with a data instance, which means no DataIdentification class has to be described.
static final CouplingType	MIXED	Service instance is mixed coupled with a data instance, which means DataIdentification describes the associated data instance and additionally the service instance might work with other external data instances.
static final CouplingType	TIGHT	Service instance is tightly coupled with a data instance, which means DataIdentification class MUST be described.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
CouplingType[]	family()	Returns the list of CouplingTypes.
static CouplingType	valueOf(String code)	Returns the CouplingType List that matches the given string, or returns a new one if none match it.
static CouplingType[]	values()	Returns the list of CouplingTypes.

Field Details

LOOSE

@UML(identifier="loose",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CouplingType LOOSE

Service instance is loosely coupled with a data instance, which means no DataIdentification class has to be described.

MIXED

@UML(identifier="mixed",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CouplingType MIXED

Service instance is mixed coupled with a data instance, which means DataIdentification describes the associated data instance and additionally the service instance might work with other external data instances.

TIGHT

@UML(identifier="tight",
     obligation=CONDITIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
public static final CouplingType TIGHT

Service instance is tightly coupled with a data instance, which means DataIdentification class MUST be described.

Method Details

family

public CouplingType[] family()

Returns the list of CouplingTypes.

Specified by:

family in interface ControlledVocabulary

Specified by:

family in class CodeList<CouplingType>

Returns:

the list of codes declared in the current JVM.

values

public static CouplingType[] values()

Returns the list of CouplingTypes.

Returns:

the list of codes declared in the current JVM.

valueOf

public static CouplingType valueOf(String code)

Returns the CouplingType List that matches the given string, or returns a new one if none match it. More specifically, this methods returns the first instance for which name().equals(code) returns true. If no existing instance is found, then a new one is created for the given name.

Parameters:

code - the name of the code to fetch or to create.

Returns:
