Package org.ogf.saga.namespace Description

This package provides classes to manipulate namespaces.

An NSEntry represents a namespace entry, and provides methods to inspect and manipulate this entry.

An NSDirectory represents a namespace entry that is a directory, and defines additional methods for them. A Java specific extension is that this interface extends Iterable, which allows an application to iterate over the entries in this directory, like this:
for (URL url : directory) {...}

The possible namespace flags are defined in the Flags enumeration class, which includes methods to combine them into integers, and to determine if they are set in an integer. These methods are not described in the language-independent SAGA specification, but are added in the Java language bindings because in Java, enumerations cannot be treated as integers. Also, since enumeration classes are not extensible in Java, flags from the logicalfile package and the file package are included here as well.
