Class DConnect2

java.lang.Object
  extended by opendap.dap.DConnect2

public class DConnect2
extends Object

Rewritten 1/15/07 jcaron to use HttpCLient library instead of jdk UrlConnection class. Need more robust redirect and authentication.

This class provides support for common DODS client-side operations such as dereferencing a OPeNDAP URL, communicating network activity status to the user and reading local OPeNDAP objects.

Unlike its C++ counterpart, this class does not store instances of the DAS, DDS, etc. objects. Rather, the methods getDAS, etc. return instances of those objects.

          throws FileNotFoundException
Creates an instance bound to url which accepts compressed documents.

Parameters:
urlString - connect to this URL.
Throws:
FileNotFoundException - thrown if urlString is not a valid URL, or a filename which exists on the system.

DConnect2

public DConnect2(String urlString,
                 boolean acceptCompress)
          throws FileNotFoundException
Creates an instance bound to url. If acceptDeflate is true then HTTP Request headers will indicate to servers that this client can accept compressed documents.

Parameters:

public boolean isLocal()

CE

public final String CE()
Returns the constraint expression supplied with the URL given to the constructor. If no CE was given this returns an empty String.

Note that the CE supplied to one of this object's constructors is "sticky"; it will be used with every data request made with this object. The CE passed to getData, however, is not sticky; it is used only for that specific request. This method returns the sticky CE.

Returns:
the constraint expression associated with this connection.

URL

public final String URL()
Returns the URL supplied to the constructor. If the URL contained a constraint expression that is not returned.

Returns:
the URL of this connection.

closeSession

public void closeSession()

getServerVersion

public final ServerVersion getServerVersion()
Returns the ServerVersion of the last connection.

Returns:
the ServerVersion of the last connection.

getLastModifiedHeader

public String getLastModifiedHeader()
Returns:
value of Last-Modified Header from last connection, may be null

getLastModifiedInvalidHeader

public String getLastModifiedInvalidHeader()
Returns:
value of X-Last-Modified-Invalid Header from last connection, may be null

getLastExtendedHeader

public String getLastExtendedHeader()
Returns:
value of Last-Extended Header from last connection, may be null

getDAS

                  ParseException,
                  DAP2Exception

getData

public DataDDS getData(String CE,
                       StatusUI statusUI,
                       BaseTypeFactory btf)
                throws MalformedURLException,
                       IOException,
                       ParseException,
                       DDSException,
                       DAP2Exception
Returns the `Data object' from the dataset referenced by this object's URL given the constraint expression CE. Note that the Data object is really just a DDS object with data bound to the variables. The DDS will probably contain fewer variables (and those might have different types) than in the DDS returned by getDDS() because that method returns the entire DDS (but without any data) while this method returns only those variables listed in the projection part of the constraint expression.

Note that if CE is an empty String then the entire dataset will be returned, unless a "sticky" CE has been specified in the constructor.

Parameters:
CE - The constraint expression to be applied to this request by the server. This is combined with any CE given in the constructor.
statusUI - the StatusUI object to use for GUI updates and user cancellation notification (may be null).
btf - The BaseTypeFactory to build the member variables in the DDS with.
Returns:
The DataDDS object that results from applying the given CE, combined with this object's sticky CE, on the referenced dataset.
Throws:
MalformedURLException - if the URL given to the constructor has an error
IOException - if any error connecting to the remote server
ParseException - if the DDS parser returned an error
DDSException - on an error constructing the DDS
DAP2Exception - if any error returned by the remote server
