Method Detail

newFactory

static SchemaFactory newFactory()

Create a new instance of the factory. This static method creates a new factory instance. Once an application has obtained a reference to an EDIOutputFactory it can use the factory to configure and obtain stream instances.

Returns:

the factory implementation

createSchema

Schema createSchema(URL location)
             throws EDISchemaException

Throws:

EDISchemaException

createSchema

Schema createSchema(InputStream stream)
             throws EDISchemaException

Throws:

EDISchemaException

getControlSchema

Schema getControlSchema(String standard,
                        String[] version)
                 throws EDISchemaException

Retrieve the control schema for the provided standard and version. This method loads an internal, immutable schema provided by StAEDI.

Parameters:

standard - the standard, e.g. X12 or EDIFACT

version - the version of the standard

Returns:

the control schema corresponding to the standard and version

Throws:

EDISchemaException - when the schema can not be loaded.

Since:

1.5

isPropertySupported

boolean isPropertySupported(String name)

Query the set of properties that this factory supports.

Parameters:

name - - The name of the property (may not be null)

Returns:

true if the property is supported and false otherwise

getProperty

Object getProperty(String name)

Get the value of a feature/property from the underlying implementation

Parameters:

name - - The name of the property (may not be null)

Returns:

The value of the property

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the property is not supported

setProperty

void setProperty(String name,
                 Object value)

Allows the user to set specific feature/property on the underlying implementation. The underlying implementation is not required to support every setting of every property in the specification and may use IllegalArgumentException to signal that an unsupported property may not be set with the specified value.

Parameters:

name - - The name of the property (may not be null)

value - - The value of the property

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the property is not supported
