Blank Map in deployment

HelenAraya1 — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 01:56:08 GMT

I have deployed arcgis application which uses arc-gis sdk for java using the link below.

I created a deployment folder and deployed the jars by following the link below.
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-java/concepts/index.html#//01qv00000010000000

But in deployment the map does not show. It shows blank Jframe with no map contents.

I works in testing environment where I developed the code.

Does any body know what the problem is?

Regards
Helen

What kind of layers are you adding to the JMap ? dynamic layer from local map package, online web service, local tiled layer ?
In case you are loading a TPK or MPK file, as a resource file, it's working in local because the file is accessible, but in deployment your resource file are in the jar... so you need to deploy or copy them outside the jar file for deployment.
I hope this can help you.

Can you post your

private Jmap createMap()

function so we can see what types of layers you are adding.

Here is my code. I have removed some parts which are irrelevant for this discussion.

        theFrame = new JFrame();

        theFrame.setBounds(400, 50, 900, 800);
        theFrame.setTitle("Map zipcodes");
        SpatialReference reference= SpatialReference.create(3857);
        theFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        theFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));

        // dispose map just before application window is closed.
        theFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {

Just a quick update. The map works on when I deployed it in home laptop which is windows 8.
But it does not work on the actual deployment machine which is windows server 2008 service pack 2 64 bit.

I ran into a similar problem some time ago. Assuming that it works in your IDE, where the SDK is installed, I'd include all available sources to your deployment folder at first to ensure the local server has them as it has it in development mode. Note also that, apparently (have not tested), the deployment builder for 10.2 has changed in that it now requires that only one specific platform (32/64) be set per deployment folder whereas the 10.1.1 allowed both types.

It's also good to spew out any messages the local server generates on initialization so that you'd know if the problem is not with it. See Methods in com.esri.client.local.LocalServer with parameters for adding a type ServerMessageListener. It might even tell you that your deployment license is not valid. It's important to note that your local server will work in dev mode even with an invalid license because your SDK is installed there with a valid one, but not on your test box.

Good luck, and happy new year to all!!

Hi Helen.

You said that things work fine on one machine, but not on another.
Are they both behind your firewall? Or is one inside and the other outside?

Hi guys the problem was with meeting hardware requirements of Video/Graphics Adapter and Display Properties

My Windows 2008 machine shows n/a in dedicated video memory, 16 bit in color depth which could be the potential cause.

IN
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/system-requirements/10.1../index.html#//015100000093000000
It says
64 MB RAM minimum; 256 MB RAM minimum recommended; NVIDIA, ATI, and INTEL chipsets are supported.
24-bit color depth

All the settings can be adjusted except the dedicated video memory which requires changing using BIOS.

Hi guys,

I just want to update you about the issue with the blank map.

We bought the following external graphics card for our server which is windows 2008 X-64
Server Details: HP ProLiant DL380 G7 (PID: 583914-B21)

The issue is that HP does not have dedicated graphics card which comes with their servers.

And We were able to get the maps working Finally!!!
