IJSONConverterGeometry.toGeometry Fails for Polygon JSON

FaisalAlhammad

Hi,

I am encountering an issue when attempting to convert a polygon JSON object into an IGeometry object within my Java SOE (Server Object Extension) code. It works fine for Point, Polyline, Multipoint but I keep getting the below error "AutomationException: The operation cannot be performed on a non-simple geometry" event though the polygon I'm passing is simple? below is the code snippet and sample Polygon JSON. My Java SOE code is running on ArcGIS Server 11.5 on windows machine.

>>>>>>>>

IJSONObject jsonObject = new com.esri.arcgis.system.JSONObject();

jsonObject.parseString(inputGeometryJson);

IGeometry geometry = this.jsonConverter.toGeometry(jsonObject, esriGeometryType.esriGeometryAny, false, false);

>>>>>>>>

Below is the sample Polygon JSON I'm using for testing:

{"rings":[[[-97,32],[-98,34],[-96,36],[-97,32]]],"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}}

Hey @FaisalAlhammad ,

Can you try introducing a simplify() call?

Example:

IGeometry geometry = this.jsonConverter.toGeometry(
jsonObject,
esriGeometryType.esriGeometryAny,
false,
false
);

if (geometry instanceof ITopologicalOperator) {
((ITopologicalOperator) geometry).simplify();
}

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Glen

Wow Thanks Glen that actually worked!

After logging before and after the this.jsonConverter.toGeometry it turns out it was failing some where else in my code and as soon as I called ((ITopologicalOperator) geometry).simplify(); after getting the geometry everything worked 😊.

This is the first time I'm working on the SOE and it is working fine for Point, Polyline and Multipoint! I'm hoping that someone can test it using the same version and verify if it works with them ?

I did try your code but same result? I do need to handle multiple type of geometries and they are working fine so far for Point, Polyline and Multipoint! For the Polygon I still get the error "AutomationException: The operation cannot be performed on a non-simple geometry."

Are you using esriGeometryAny because you won't know ahead of time whether the geometry will be polygon? For testing purposes, does the following work?

IGeometry geometry = this.jsonConverter.toGeometry(
    jsonObject, 
    esriGeometryType.esriGeometryPolygon, 
    false, 
    false
);

Hi @FaisalAlhammad,

Has this been working on an earlier version and once you upgraded to 11.5 it stopped working? Has it ever worked on a Multipoint on 11.5? My advice would be to have a look at the latest Pro Snippets over here:
