Class DataFormat

java.lang.Object
  com.reverseXSL.types.DataFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class DataFormat
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

DataFormat singletons indicate the format of message data (CSV, XML, free text, etc.). It is a strong typed enumeration class compatible with JDK1.4.

Valid enumeration values are all like DataFormat.CODE where CODE must be a valid code; for the list of codes see table.

Field Detail

ANY

public static final DataFormat ANY

DataFormat data can be anything; it is unspecified.

BINARY

public static final DataFormat BINARY

Full transparent binary content that must be preserved from any alteration

CSV

public static final DataFormat CSV

A text-oriented dataFormat with Comma Separated Values; also holds for ';', tabs and other usual separators.

EDIFACT

public static final DataFormat EDIFACT

An EDIFACT interchange as defined by standard ISO 9735 (made by United Nations Trade Facilitation Committee).

This same tag is used for various EDIFACT sub-brands:

• syntax-level 3 and 4
• The native EDIFACT format comprises only EDIFACT segments as defined in the proper Trade Data Interchange Directory (TDID), e.g. D96A, and complies with one of the official UN-EDIFACT standard messages. The IATA CARGOFACT messages belong to such category.
• The IATA sub-brand defined in the CARGO IMP manual allows to wrap a Cargo-IMP message (5 lines at a time) into FTX EDIFACT segments, these being placed inside a UNH~UNT message.
• The TRAXON Cargo Community System places the CARGO-IMP content directly inside the EDIFACT UNH~UNT message, CRLF included.

All these variants are, at this stage, globally labelled 'EDIFACT'.

IATA

public static final DataFormat IATA

A standard IATA message for IMP, AHM, SSIM and other sub-brands, starting with a Type-B SITA header. The header itself may be pure ASCII, or native, or with the full set of control characters.
