The statement "supports Java Development Kits 6 update 37 through 7 update 9" should probably be reworded slightly. To explain why we state these JRE/ JDK versions, when we test a new release we take the latest available versions of Java 6 and 7 and certify against those versions.  10.1.1 was certified against 6u37 and 7u9.  These were the most up to date versions at the time we were testing late last year. New releases of Java come out all the time to fix bugs and plug security holes and theoreticaly this should not cause a problem with the Runtime.  I can't however guarantee that a new Java bug or security issue has been introduced in their latest release which may affect Runtime functionality. I'm also using 7u11 and so far I've not seen any issues. I hope this helps. Mark ... View more

Hi J.T. I can't see exactly what you are trying to do but let me try to give you some information. Firstly lets look at the difference between ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer and ArcGISLocalDynamicMapServiceLayer: - The ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer is a layer which is for consuming online data where the datasource might be coming from your ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Online.  The constructor takes the URL for the service (a rest end point).  This is data you use in a network connected environment. - An ArcGISLocalDynamicMapServiceLayer layer is for consuming local data where you might not have network connectivity.  The constuctor for this class takes a path to your .mpk file.  The .mpk file is a map package which you will have published from ArcGIS Desktop. Beyond the above differences they are much the same once added to the map.  The above explanation applied for both Java SE and WPF. Now in your code samples you are working with  Dynamic Workspaces.  These can be used for altering the content of a local map package on the fly.  For example, you might have an .mpk to which you want to add a shapefile.  If this is what you are trying to do I would take a look at the Sample Application which comes with the API.  We have a code sample which shows you how to add a shapefile.  This was added to the sample application at the 10.1.1 release. Does this help? Regards Mark ... View more

Internally the API renders Chem Lights using a unique value renderer.  Therefore this does not support labels out of the box. The other symbols for 2525C use a DictionaryRenderer which as you point out accept a Unique Designation which is your labelling item. If you want to have a label for a Chem Light, then you will need to render your own using a TextMarker in a graphics layer.  The following code shows how this can be done.         //graphics layer for labels         GraphicsLayer labelsGL = new GraphicsLayer();         map.getLayers().add(labelsGL);                 //Make a graphic for the label         TextSymbol labelSymb = new TextSymbol(12, "ABC", Color.blue);         Point labelLocation = new Point(2191602.87,626172.13);         Graphic labelGraphic = new Graphic(labelLocation, labelSymb);                 //add graphic to the graphics layer         labelsGL.addGraphic(labelGraphic); You will of course need to consider how you place your labels.  The location of the point may need to change slightly according to the zoom level of the map if your label is offset from the location of the chem light. So in conclusion it's possible,but it might involve a little more work than expected. ... View more

There isn't a method of achieving this in the API at the moment (maybe we should consider this for a future release). However there is a workaround, you can apply:  In the runtime folder there is a file called .\resources\symbols\app6b\messagetypes\positionreport.json The file contains an entry for the symbolScaleFactor which you can edit (with great care). I would discourage you from changing any other values in this file. {   "type": "position_report",   "layerName": "position_reports",   "renderer":   {     "type"           : "dictionary",     "description"    : "",     "dictionaryType" : "APP6B",     "field"       : "sic",     "symbolScaleFactor" : 1.0,     "labelsVisible" : true,     "minLabelScale" : 10000000,     "maxLabelScale" : 0   } } Does this help? ...
