- Method Detail
  - getId
```
String getId()
```
    A unique identifier for this GeocoderService.
    
    Returns:
    
    The unique identifier for this GeocoderService.
  - resolveAddress
```
GeocoderResult resolveAddress(String address)
                       throws GeocoderConfigurationException
```
    Resolves the given address string to valid coordinates. Originally it returned only the Coordinates but that makes it hard to distinguish if there was no valid address or an exception occurred.
    
    Parameters:
    
    address - The address to resolve
    
    Returns:
    
    The result of the resolution
    
    Throws:
    
    GeocoderException
    
    GeocoderConfigurationException
  - getConfiguration
```
GeocoderConfiguration getConfiguration()
```
    Returns configuration of the GeocoderService.
    
    Returns:
    
    configuration.
  - validateConfiguration
```
void validateConfiguration(Map<String,Object> properties)
                    throws GeocoderConfigurationException
```
    Validates the provided configuration properties.
    
    Parameters:
    
    properties - to validate
    
    Throws:
    
    GeocoderConfigurationException - in case the configuration is invalid.
