1) Yes, it's all done through MgFeatureService which is a high-level wrapper around FDO. This class is how you do CRUD through the MapGuide API.
However, if you're trying to bulk copy large volumes of spatial data, using the MapGuide API to do this isn't probably the way to go even though it is possible. I've written a bulk copier using the MapGuide APIs in PHP, it was S L O W. 2) Class names are the same for PHP/Java/C# With MapGuide Open Source 2.5, there's a MapGuideApi-sources.jar that contains the javadoc'd source code for the MapGuide Java classes, which provides inline API documentation for the MapGuide classes in your Java IDE. 3) That's the jar in question. Note that this is a SWIG-generated JNI wrapper around native libraries. So if you're building Java applications outside the context of a Java Servlet, you need to also need to make sure your Java application can locate the Mg* dlls via the PATH environment variable or the java.library.path system property. The bundled Tomcat already knows where these files are, so if you're just building a regular Java web application running on the bundled Tomcat, this is all set up for you. Note that with MapGuide Open Source 2.5, there's also a MapGuideApiEx.jar (with matching -sources.jar) that's an enhanced version of the MapGuide Java API. There's more information about this enhanced API here: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc129 - Jackie -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/reading-and-editing-SDF-data-with-java-tp5044300p5045382.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
