# Class DefaultOperationMetadata

DefaultOperationMetadata

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable, Emptiable, LenientComparable, IdentifiedObject`

@TitleProperty(name="operationName") @UML(identifier="SV_OperationMetadata", specification=ISO_19115) public class DefaultOperationMetadata extends ISOMetadata
Parameter information. The following properties are mandatory in a well-formed metadata according ISO 19115:
`SV_OperationMetadata` `├─operationName……………………………………………` A unique identifier for this interface. `├─distributedComputingPlatform……` Distributed computing platforms on which the operation has been implemented. `└─connectPoint………………………………………………` Handle for accessing the service interface. `└─linkage…………………………………………………` Location for on-line access using a URL address or similar addressing scheme.
Note on International Standard versions
This class is derived from a new type defined in the ISO 19115 international standard published in 2014, while GeoAPI 3.0 is based on the version published in 2003. Consequently this implementation class does not yet implement a GeoAPI interface, but is expected to do so after the next GeoAPI releases. When the interface will become available, all references to this implementation class in Apache SIS will be replaced be references to the `OperationMetadata` interface.

## Limitations

- Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading. Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.
- Serialized objects of this class are not guaranteed to be compatible with future Apache SIS releases. Serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Apache SIS. For long term storage, use `XML` instead.

Since:
  0.5

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### DefaultOperationMetadata

    public DefaultOperationMetadata()
    Constructs an initially empty operation metadata.

  - ### DefaultOperationMetadata

    public DefaultOperationMetadata(DefaultOperationMetadata object)
    Constructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
    Parameters:
      `object` - the metadata to copy values from, or `null` if none.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getOperationName

    @UML(identifier="operationName", obligation=MANDATORY, specification=ISO_19115) public String getOperationName()
    Returns an unique identifier for this interface.
    Returns:
      an unique identifier for this interface.

  - ### setOperationName

    public void setOperationName(String newValue)
    Sets the unique identifier for this interface.
    Parameters:
      `newValue` - the new unique identifier for this interface.

  - ### getDistributedComputingPlatforms

    @UML(identifier="distributedComputingPlatform", obligation=MANDATORY, specification=ISO_19115) public Collection<CodeList<?>> getDistributedComputingPlatforms()
    Returns the distributed computing platforms (DCPs) on which the operation has been implemented.
    Upcoming API change — specialization
    The element type will be changed to the `DistributedComputingPlatform` code list when GeoAPI will provide it (tentatively in GeoAPI 3.1).
    Returns:
      distributed computing platforms on which the operation has been implemented.

  - ### setDistributedComputingPlatforms

    public void setDistributedComputingPlatforms(Collection<? extends CodeList<?>> newValues)
    Sets the distributed computing platforms on which the operation has been implemented.
    Upcoming API change — specialization
    The element type will be changed to the `DistributedComputingPlatform` code list when GeoAPI will provide it (tentatively in GeoAPI 3.1). In the meantime, users can define their own code list class as below:

        final class UnsupportedCodeList extends CodeList<UnsupportedCodeList> {
            private static final List<UnsupportedCodeList> VALUES = new ArrayList<UnsupportedCodeList>();

            // Need to declare at least one code list element.
            public static final UnsupportedCodeList MY_CODE_LIST = new UnsupportedCodeList("MY_CODE_LIST");

            private UnsupportedCodeList(String name) {
                super(name, VALUES);
            }

            public static UnsupportedCodeList valueOf(String code) {
                return valueOf(UnsupportedCodeList.class, code);
            }

            &#64;Override
            public UnsupportedCodeList[] family() {
                synchronized (VALUES) {
                    return VALUES.toArray(new UnsupportedCodeList[VALUES.size()]);
