Class ImageServer

    java.lang.Object
      com.bbn.openmap.image.ImageServer

All Implemented Interfaces:
  PropertyConsumer

Direct Known Subclasses:
  MapRequestHandler, WmsRequestHandler

public class ImageServer
extends java.lang.Object
implements PropertyConsumer

The image server is the class you want to deal with when creating images from the ImageGenerator. It takes a properties file and sets up the image generator based on those properties. It also has this queuing thing going so that requests can stack up while the image generator is working on requests, and it will notify the requestor when the image is ready.

The ImageServer generally has the layers on the map predefined at construction, although you can change the layers that it has. When setting the layer array, do not use the same layer in two different slots of the array - it may not give you the expected map, and may mess around with the timing issues that the ImageGenerator takes care of. If you want to reorder the layers, do so before adding your request to the ImageServer. Additionally, each request has the option of not using certain layers in the ImageServer layer array, by turning off the appropriate bits in the layer mask. Understand that the image for a request will be created based on the layer array contents and the request layer mask at the time the request processing is started, not when it is submitted.

Right now, the ImageServer is single threaded - processing requests one after another. The request setup was written to support multi-threaded processing, though, where each image could be generated in it's own thread. That code is not written - maybe someday.

``

                        # If the ImageServer is created and given a prefix (in this example,
                        # 'imageServer') the properties file should contain the properties:
                        imageServer.layers=<layer1 layer2 ...>
                        layer1.className=<classname>
                        layer1.prettyName=<pretty name of layer>
                        # Add other attributes as required by layer1...
                        layer2.className=<classname>
                        layer2.prettyName=<pretty name of layer>
                        # Add other attributes as required by layer2...
                        # First formatter listed is default.
                        imageServer.formatters=<formatter1 formatter2 ...>
                        formatter1.class=<classname of formatter 1>
                        # Add other formatter1 properties
                        formatter2.class=<classname of formatter 2>

NOTE: If you simply hand the ImageServer a standard openmap.properties file, it works with the addition of the first two attributes except WITHOUT the 'imageServer.' prefix. New for 4.5: If the layers property is not defined, then the openmap.layers property is used to define which layers are available for the ImageServer.

Constructor Detail

### ImageServer

    protected ImageServer()

  Empty constructor that expects to be configured later.

### ImageServer

    public ImageServer(java.util.Properties props)

  To create the image server, you hand it a set of properties that let it create an array of layers, and also to set the properties for those layers. The properties file for the ImageServer looks strikingly similar to the openmap.properties file. So, all the layers get set up here...

### ImageServer

    public ImageServer(java.lang.String prefix,
                       java.util.Properties props)

  Same as the other constructor, except that the properties can have a prefix in front of them. The format of the prefix has to match how the property is specified the the properties file, which may include the period - i.e server1.imageServer.layers, the server1. is the prefix that should get passed in. The ImageMaster does this.

### ImageServer

    public ImageServer(java.lang.String prefix,
                       java.util.Properties props,
                       java.util.Hashtable instantiatedLayers)

  Create an ImageServer that should be configured with a Properties file. The prefix given is to scope the ImageServer properties to this instance. The Hashtable is for reusing any layers that may already be instantiated.

### ImageServer

    public ImageServer(Layer[] layers,
                       ImageFormatter formatter)

  Create an ImageServer from an array of Layers and an ImageFormatter. It's assumed that the layers are already configured.

Parameters:
  `layers` - the array of layers.
  `formatter` - the ImageFormatter to use for the output image format.

    public boolean getDoAntiAliasing()

  Find out whether anti-aliasing is used when creating the image.

### setLayers

    public void setLayers(Layer[] newLayers)

  Set the layers used on the NEXT request that is processed. Will not affect any image currently being created.

  Parameters:
    `newLayers` - an array of com.bbn.openmap.Layer objects, already configured and ready to respond to a projectionChanged method call.

  Returns:
    Layer[]

                                                   java.util.Properties props,
                                                   Projection proj,
                                                   java.lang.String outputPath)
                                            throws java.net.MalformedURLException,
                                                   java.io.IOException

  For convenience, to create an image file based on the contents of a properties file (like an openmap.properties file).

  Parameters:
    `prefix` - The prefix for the ImageServer properties (layers and formatters) to use in the properties file. If defined, then this method will look for 'prefix.layers' and prefix.formatters' properties. If null, then this method will look 'layers' and 'formatters' properties.
    `props` - The properties to use for defining the layers and plugins to use on the map image. Standard openmap.properties formats for layer definitions. See the standard openmap.properties file for more details on how to define layers and plugins.
    `proj` - The projection to use for the map. If null, then the Environment projection properties will be looked for in the Properties.
    `outputPath` - The output path for the image file. The image file should not have an appendix defined. This method will check which formatter is being used, and will assign one based on the image format (leave off the ., too).
  Returns:
    the final path of the written image file, with the chosen appendix attached.
  Throws:
    `java.net.MalformedURLException`
    `java.io.IOException`

### setBackground

    public void setBackground(java.awt.Paint bg)

  Set the Paint to use for image backgrounds.

### getBackground

    public java.awt.Paint getBackground()

  Get the Paint to use for image backgrounds.

### main

    public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

  The ImageServer class main function will create a map image from a modified openmap.properties file.

                         java com.bbn.openmap.image.ImageServer -properties (path
                          to properties file) -file (path to output image)

  The path to the output image should not have an appendix on it, that will get assigned depending on what image format is used.
