I have download a featuresource xml and modified it as follows. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <FeatureSource xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd"> <Provider>OSGeo.SDF</Provider> <Parameter> <Name>File</Name> <Value>[CADFiles]PrjLines.sdf</Value> </Parameter> <Parameter> <Name>ReadOnly</Name> <Value>TRUE</Value> </Parameter> </FeatureSource>
Then I upload the new xml with mapagent. But the feature can't be shown with MG OS 1.2. When visiting the layer defined based on this feature with Asdk Studio 2007, a popup is shown with: The featuresource is invalid. An exception occured in FDO Component. SDF connect failed. File doesnot exist or cannot be opened in specified access mode.
