Transitioning from SDE SDK to the new Java SDK - Help needed

SamSnyder — Thu, 08 May 2014 19:27:50 GMT

I am working on upgrading a Java app that uses the SDE SDK.

Is there documentation of what to use in the new Java SDK to replace the old SDE SDK code?

For example, the code uses SeShape and SeExtent to generate a rectangle using the SeShape.generateRectangle method. What is comparable in the new SDK?

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

To be honest, I have used neither of these APIs, so can't comment on specifics. However, from what I know about the ESRI Geodatabase Framework and the developments that have taken place, I doubt there is any real "transition" path from the ArcSDE Java API to the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java. These are two completely different products, based on different technology. The Runtime API is not an evolution of the ArcSDE API.

So I think your best bet is a careful study of the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java API Reference documentation, and trying to find "equivalents" in there.

Anyway, either:
Class Polygon: https://developers.arcgis.com/java/api-reference/com/esri/core/geometry/Polygon.html
or
Class Envelope: https://developers.arcgis.com/java/api-reference/com/esri/core/geometry/Envelope.html

might be in the direction of what you need.
