AbstractContentInformation
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable,- Emptiable,- LenientComparable,- IdentifiedObject,- ContentInformation
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- DefaultCoverageDescription,- DefaultFeatureCatalogueDescription
Description of the content of a resource.
 
Limitations
- Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading. Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.
- Serialized objects of this class are not guaranteed to be compatible with future Apache SIS releases.
       Serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the
       same version of Apache SIS. For long term storage, use XMLinstead.

Constructor Details- 
AbstractContentInformationpublic AbstractContentInformation()Constructs an initially empty content information.
- 
AbstractContentInformationConstructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.- Parameters:
- object- the metadata to copy values from, or- nullif none.

Method Details- 
castOrCopyReturns a SIS metadata implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:- If the given object is null, then this method returnsnull.
- Otherwise if the given object is an instance of FeatureCatalogueDescriptionorCoverageDescription, then this method delegates to thecastOrCopy(…)method of the corresponding SIS subclass. Note that if the given object implements more than one of the above-cited interfaces, then thecastOrCopy(…)method to be used is unspecified.
- Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of
       AbstractContentInformation, then it is returned unchanged.
- Otherwise a new AbstractContentInformationinstance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
 - Parameters:
- object- the object to get as a SIS implementation, or- nullif none.
- Returns:
- a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the
         given object itself), or nullif the argument was null.
