Hello, I'm using Java and ArcGIS Engine 10 on Solaris.  When I try to initialize the ArcGIS Engine, I get a nasty segmentation fault with the message: "Cannot open X display (not specified)" This is a console-only app. Here's the offending init code : try{             //Step 1: Initialize the Java Componet Object Model (COM) Interop.             EngineInitializer.initializeEngine(); } ... Why does Engine want X-display? Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks! ... View more

Hello, I'm trying to insert a polygon into my fileGeodatabase feature class.  Previously this worked fine, until I made the feature class participate in a topology.  Now I get "Objects in this class cannot be updated outside an edit session" exception. Ok, fine, so I'll make an edit session, but I get the same exception. Here's the code: IWorkspace workspace = fileGDBWorkspaceFactory.openFromFile( "/foo/highPitch.gdb" ); IFeatureWorkspace featureWorkspace = (IFeatureWorkspace) workspace; IWorkspaceEdit workspaceEdit = (IWorkspaceEdit) workspace; // workspaceEdit.startEditing(false); workspaceEdit.startEditOperation();      IFeatureClass featureClass = featureWorkspace.openFeatureClass("module"); IFeature newFeature = featureClass.createFeature(); newFeature.setShapeByRef(module.getPolygonElement().getGeometry()); newFeature.store(); workspaceEdit.stopEditOperation(); workspaceEdit.stopEditing(true); Any thoughts on adding a feature to a feature class that participates in a topology?  Thanks in advance for any pointers! ...

Hello All, Does anybody have experience or knowledge of whether ArcGIS Engine Runtime will run on a Solaris 10 machine having AMD Opteron processors? I know it's not officially supported on AMD Opteron, but we're wondering if it will run. Thanks for any info. ... View more

Hi, Thought I'd start a thread on how to open and store a polygon into a file geodatabase. Others please post any best-practices comments or questions. This a simple case where you have created an empty file geodatabase in ArcCatalog. You must setup a file geodatabase in ArcCatalog and create one polygon feature class named "module." So, here's the essential code: private void saveModule(Module module) {                IFeatureWorkspace featureWorkspace  = null;         IFeatureClass featureClass                   = null;          try {                         FileGDBWorkspaceFactory f =  new FileGDBWorkspaceFactory();             IWorkspace workspace =    f.openFromFile("C:/fakepath/myGDB.gdb", 0);             featureWorkspace = (IFeatureWorkspace) workspace;             featureClass     = featureWorkspace.openFeatureClass("module");             // create and store the new feature             IFeature newFeature = featureClass.createFeature();             newFeature.setShapeByRef(module.getPolygonElement().getGeometry());             newFeature.store();                     } catch (IOException ex) {             // handle exception         }         finally {                         // This removes the lock on the gdb             featureWorkspace = null;             featureClass     = null;                         System.gc();                    }     } If you need to copy the file geodatabase before using it, just call an OS method to copy the gdb directory, or write some java to copy the gdb directory. ...

Hello, I would like to launch AGX and load a KML or shapefile or anything supported from within another process using COM.  For a java example, this is easy using Google Earth and com4j.  Here are the "api" docs: http://earth.google.com/comapi My question is, where are the equivalent docs for AGX and where is this type of functionality discussed? Thanks ... View more
