net.motionintelligence.client.api.request.GeocodingRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:

GetRequest<String,GeocodingResponse>

public class GeocodingRequest
extends Object
implements GetRequest<String,GeocodingResponse>

The GeocodingRequest uses the ESRI webservice to request a coordinate candidates for one or more addresses. Multiple requests can be executed with one GeocodingRequest object.

Constructor Detail

GeocodingRequest

public GeocodingRequest(javax.ws.rs.client.Client client)

Creation of a default geo coding request. Note1: The client's lifecycle is not handled here. Please make sure to properly close the client when not needed anymore. Note2: For the parallel batch requests it may be required to set a certain connection pool size when client is created. (e.g. this was necessary for a JBoss client but not for the Jersey client)

Parameters:

client - specified Client implementation to be used, e.g. Jersey or jBoss client

GeocodingRequest

public GeocodingRequest(javax.ws.rs.client.Client client,
                        Map<GeocodingRequest.Option,String> extraOptions)

Use a custom client implementation for the geo coding request with non-default request parameters. Note1: The client's lifecycle is not handled here. Please make sure to properly close the client when not needed anymore. Note2: For the parallel batch requests it may be required to set a certain connection pool size when client is created. (e.g. this was necessary for a JBoss client but not for the Jersey client)

Parameters:

client - specified Client implementation to be used, e.g. Jersey or jBoss client

extraOptions - see GeocodingRequest.Option for possibilities - null pointer and empty strings will be ignored

Method Detail

get

public GeocodingResponse get(String singleLineAddress)
                      throws Route360ClientException

Invokes a simple request to geocode one address. The address is given in a single String.

Specified by:

get in interface GetRequest<String,GeocodingResponse>

Parameters:

singleLineAddress - e.g. "Chausseestr. 101, 10115 Berlin"

Returns:

the parsed REST service response

Throws:

Route360ClientException - when error occurs during request

get

public GeocodingResponse get(Address address)
                      throws Route360ClientException

Invokes a simple request to geocode one address. The address is given in an Address. Empty or null fields will be ignored by the request.

Parameters:

address - e.g.

new Address("Chausseestr. 101","","Berlin","10115",null);

Returns:

the parsed REST service response

Throws:

Route360ClientException - when error occurs during request

getBatchParallel

public GeocodingResponse[] getBatchParallel(int parallelThreads,
                                            int triesBeforeFail,
                                            String... addresses)
                                     throws Route360ClientException

Facilitating a parallel batch request for geocoding multiple addresses given as single String. It uses an ExecutorService with a specified thread pool size. These threads are used to request single geocoding results in parallel. Due to temporal unavailability of the service the request may be repeated a number of times before failing.

Parameters:

parallelThreads - greater than or equal to 1 (==1 means sequential processing) - be careful to not create too many Threads

triesBeforeFail - greater than or equal to 1

addresses - not null and with at least on element

Returns:

the resulting individual responses - same order as input addresses

Throws:

Route360ClientException - when error occurs during request

                                            int triesBeforeFail,
                                            Address... addresses)
                                     throws Route360ClientException
