My assumption is that if it is not specifically stated that something WON'T 
work with a particular
version then it probably will work. I'd say try it. I don't have that version 
handy or I'd do it myself.

RE: [mapserver-users] ArcSDE 9.3 Support.

2008-09-30 Thread Nelson Soto
Unfortunately, I'm trying to get the msplugin_sde_92.dll to even load as
a plug in at all. I get the following error :

msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named
'parcels-sde'. loadCustomLayerDLL: General error message. Failed to load
dynamic Layer LIB: D:\ms4w\Apache\specialplugins\msplugin_sde_92.dll
msGetSymbol(): General error message. Can't load requested dynamic
library: D:\ms4w\Apache\specialplugins\msplugin_sde_92.dll

The path is correct but is likely one of that dll's dependencies...

Ogrinfo and gdalinfo took some time to report 'SDE' in the formats list
and it was due to not being able to find the ArcGIS SDK dlls... I
couldn't figure out why (I did run SETENV.bat) so I just copied them
into the gdal-ogr folder and didn't overwrite any of the files that
perhaps may be shared but I'm sure this will lead to issues...

What steps did you follow to get this set up correctly? I have used ms4w
instructions for enabling and this doesn't seem to be effective... I
have the ArcSDE 9.3 C API SDK installed.

I use MapServer with ArcGIS 9.3 with no problems.

After tracing dependencies with Dependency Walker, I can see sde.dll

Any ideas on how to alleviate this?


Nelson,

dynamically loaded plugin dlls which in turn require other statically  
compiled libraries is where Windows dll hell starts to get really  
ugly. Windows tries to locate your sde libraries either in one of the  
directories contained in your %PATH% (probably set by setenv.bat but I  
don't use MS4W so I can't help you there) or, preferably, in the  
application's folder. By that, if I'm not mistaken, they mean the  
directory which the main executable image of your app is launched  
from, so probably the one containing mapserv.exe (or maybe the one  
where libmap.dll resides?). It's definitely not going to work if you  
place them relative to the plugin inside your specialplugins folder as  
that dll is dynamically loaded into the main application's process  
space. What I'm saying is that Dependency Walker won't help you in  
this case if you launch it directly on msplugin_sde_92.dll, because  
what counts is what mapserver.exe/libmap.dll sees, not the plugin.


Still, if all fails, you could always just drop the sde libs into c: 
\windows\system32 but I'm sure with some trial and error you'll find a  
place where they get picked up correctly.
