public class WDCTableBuilder extends DocumentedTableBuilder
TableBuilder
interface which gets
StarTable
s from World Data Centre-type text files.
This format doesn't appear to have a proper name or definition.
This implementation is a result of reverse-engineering the format
specification by looking at a couple of files.Constructor and Description |

Modifier and Type | Method and Description |

boolean |
canImport(DataFlavor flavor)
Returns false since there is no MIME type which targets WDC format.
|
boolean |
canStream()
Indicates whether this handler can read tables from a stream.
|
boolean |
docIncludesExample()
Indicates whether the serialization of some (short) example table
should be added to the user documentation for this handler.
|
String |
getFormatName()
Returns the name of the format which can be read by this handler.
|
String |
getXmlDescription()
Returns user-directed documentation in XML format.

makeStarTable(DataSource datsrc,

Constructs a
StarTable based on a given DataSource . |

public StarTable makeStarTable(DataSource datsrc, boolean wantRandom, StoragePolicy storagePolicy) throws IOException
TableBuilder
StarTable
based on a given DataSource
.
If the source is not recognised or this builder does not know
how to construct a table from it, then a
TableFormatException
should be thrown.
If this builder thinks it should be able to handle the source
but an error occurs during processing, an IOException
can be thrown.
The wantRandom
parameter is used to indicate whether,
ideally, a random-access table should be returned. There is no
requirement for the builder to honour this request, but if
it knows how to make both random and non-random tables, it can
use this flag to decide which to return.
Note: the presence of the wantRandom
parameter is somewhat misleading. TableBuilder implementations
usually should, and do, ignore it (it would be removed from the
interface if it were not for backward compatibility issues).
Regardless of the value of this parameter, implementations should
return a random-access table only if it is easy for them to do so;
in particular they should not use the supplied
storagePolicy
, or any other resource-expensive measure,
to randomise a sequential table just because the
wantRandom
parameter is true.

The output should be a sequence of one or more <P> elements, using XHTML-like XML. Since rendering may be done in a number of contexts however, use of the full range of XHTML elements is discouraged. Where possible, the content should stick to simple markup such as the elements P, A, UL, OL, LI, DL, DT, DD EM, STRONG, I, B, CODE, TT, PRE.
