public abstract class SolarSystemTarget
extends Target

SolarSystemTarget extends the org.jscience.ml.om.Target class. Its specialised for solar system targets. A SolarSystemTarget target can be any astronomical object inside our solar system.
This class exists more due to extension reasons as this class does not add new functions to org.jscience.ml.om.Target

Since:

1.3

Constructor Detail

SolarSystemTarget

protected SolarSystemTarget(org.w3c.dom.Node targetElement,
                            IObserver[] observers)
                     throws SchemaException

Constructs a new instance of a SolarSystemTarget from a given DOM target Element.
Normally this constructor is called by a subclass which itself is called by org.jscience.ml.om.util.SchemaLoader. Please mind that Target has to have a element, or a element. If a element is set, a array with Observers must be passed to check, whether the link is valid.

Parameters:

observers - Array of IObserver that might be linked from this observation, can be NULL if datasource element is set

targetElement - The origin XML DOM Element

Throws:

SchemaException - if given targetElement was null

SolarSystemTarget

protected SolarSystemTarget(java.lang.String name,
                            java.lang.String datasource)

Constructs a new instance of a SolarSystemTarget.

Parameters:

name - The name of the astronomical object

datasource - The datasource of the astronomical object

SolarSystemTarget

protected SolarSystemTarget(java.lang.String name,
                            IObserver observer)

Constructs a new instance of a SolarSystemTarget.

Parameters:

name - The name of the astronomical object

observer - The observer who is the originator of the target

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overwrittes toString() method from java.lang.Object.
Returns the field values of this SolarSystemTarget.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

This SolarSystemTarget field values

See Also:

Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overwrittes equals(Object) method from java.lang.Object.
Checks if this SolarSystemTarget and the given Object are equal. The given object is equal with this DeepSkyTarget, if it derives from ITarget, both XSI types are equal and its name equals this SolarSystemTarget name.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - The Object to compare this SolarSystemTarget with.

Returns:

true if the given Object is an instance of ITarget, both XSI types are equal and its name is equal to this SolarSystemTarget name.
(Name comparism is not casesensitive)

See Also:

Object

getXSIType

public abstract java.lang.String getXSIType()

Returns the XML schema instance type of the implementation.
Example:

Returns:

The xsi:type value of this implementation

addToXmlElement

public abstract org.w3c.dom.Element addToXmlElement(org.w3c.dom.Element element)

Adds this Target to a given parent XML DOM Element. The Target element will be set as a child element of the passed element.

Specified by:

addToXmlElement in interface ITarget

Specified by:

addToXmlElement in class Target

Parameters:

parent - The parent element for this Target

Returns:

Returns the element given as parameter with this Target as child element.
Might return null if parent was null.

See Also:

Element

createXmlSolarSystemTargetElement

protected org.w3c.dom.Element createXmlSolarSystemTargetElement(org.w3c.dom.Element element,
                                                                java.lang.String xsiType)

Creates a SolarSystemTarget under the target container. If no target container exists under the given elements ownerDocument, it will be created.
This method should be called by subclasses, so that they only have to add their specific data to the element returned. Example:
<parameterElement>
<targetLink>123</targetLink>
</parameterElement>
More stuff of the xml document goes here
<targetContainer>
<target id="123">
target description goes here
</target>
</targetContainer>

Parameters:

element - The element under which the the target link is created

xsiType - The XSI:Type identification of the child class

Returns:

Returns a new created target Element that contains all data from a SolarSystemTarget. Please mind, NOT the passed element is given, but a child element of the passed elements ownerDocument. Might return null if element was null.
