Basic CRUD operations?

KeithWeber1 · ‎07-31-2014

Hello,

I am trying to find out if I can accomplish basic CRUD operations on an Enterprise geodatabase using ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java or if I need to use ArcObjects.

I am looking at developing a service that will run on my server that is going to monitor a few folders. As various files are added to these folders, my service needs to parse these files and insert/update/delete records in an enterprise geodatabase. Can I implement this using the runtime sdk? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Hi Keith:

Excellent question, thank you for asking!

The Runtime SDKs are used for building client apps that do not run behind web or application servers. As a matter of fact, (sadly, hopefully someday this will change) using the Runtime APIs in a Server (multi-user) environment is a violation of the Runtime license agreement.

It sounds like the recommendation for your use case would be to build and deploy a Server Object Extension (SOE) built with ArcObjects and deployed to ArcGIS for Server.

I hope this is helpful!

Eric,

Thanks for the quick feedback! This is just the type of advice I was looking for. Thanks!

Hi Eric,

Is there such a SOE sample anywhere? I mean, based on a feature service...

Thank you.

Hi Cristian,

Here is a simple example of building an SOE that works with Feature Services....

There are a few others here as well. I hope this helps!

Thank you very much, Eric. Unfortunately I get a page doesn’t exist when going to that link:

More precisely, when I click View Source I get to that page I sent just before…

Ok, I managed to access source code using the Download source code link. Thanks.

Crazy GeoNet.

Sorry for the hassles.

For any future reference, you could look here, and browse to 'Samples-->Server Object Extensions':
