<div> </div> <div>Hi Scott ,</div> <div> </div> <div> I am also working on Mapguide OS with Java Development Env and i do agree that php samples can be seamlessly written in Java but at this moment there is not much sharing about the sample projects /sample codes written using JAVA as compared to php and your idea of sharing some sample code written in java will be of great help.</div> <div> </div> <div>I am eagerly looking for your Query Task Feature sample code in JAVA once you finish your Code.</div> <div> </div> <div>Max<BR><BR><B><I>Jason Birch <Jason.Birch@nanaimo.ca></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Scott, that's great to hear.<BR><BR>Once we get the MapGuide project moved over to another server where we<BR>have more control, I'm hoping that we will be able to set up some
kind<BR>of service where users can share code that they have developed.<BR>Probably with a requirement for an LGPL or less restrictive OSI-approved<BR>license, but we'll have to decide that at the PSC level. Don't want to<BR>end up with the commercial/community mishmash that ArcScripts turned<BR>into.<BR><BR>Jason<BR><BR>________________________________<BR><BR>From: Scott Reisdorf<BR>Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 06:31<BR>To: users@mapguide.osgeo.org<BR>Subject: Re: [mapguide-users] Level of Java support<BR><BR><BR>Jason and Steve,<BR><BR>As a Java developer using both ArcGIS and MapGuide, I have to say I am<BR>very happy with MapGuide and its Java APIs. <BR>The Php samples can be seamlessly written in Java. There is no hokey<BR>notion of wrapping the COM objects in Proxy objects which you need to do<BR>with ArcGIS. For example I am almost done writing the Query Task<BR>feature in Java presented in the PHP online sample found
here<BR>(http://data.mapguide.com/mapguide/gt/index.php). Once I do I will post<BR>this to the group and anyone who is interested. Again when writing the<BR>Java version, for the most part I just walked through the PHP code and<BR>changed the syntax to match the Java API.<BR><BR>Again I am very pleased with the direction MapGuide is going and the<BR>resources and results this newsgroup brings.<BR><BR>-scott<BR><BR>Jason Birch wrote: <BR><BR>Hi Steve,<BR><BR>I'm pretty happy with the way that our community is developing;<BR>most questions are getting answered these days, and many of the answers<BR>are coming from other users rather than from the developers. This is a<BR>great sign.<BR><BR>That said, we're still really in the early days. There are at<BR>least a couple Java folks on the list, but they've been pretty quiet so<BR>far. If my experience with PHP and C# has been any indication though,<BR>Java should be pretty smooth. Basically install the server and
web<BR>extensions, and then install the Java viewer sample to get a headstart<BR>on how the APIs are used.<BR><BR>If you choose to go ahead and try out the Java APIs, I'd really<BR>be interested in hearing about your experience. It would be great if we<BR>could start developing some documentation around using the various APIs,<BR>including any idiosyncrasies. We could start out by posting to the<BR>Wiki, and then move to the project website as the content matures.<BR><BR>I'm pretty sure that there's nothing COM about MapGuide. It's<BR>been engineered from the ground up in cross-platform C++ using TCP/IP<BR>for IPC, and runs natively on both Linux and Windows as a<BR>service/daemon, as a CGI "MapAgent", and as a series of web-friendly<BR>APIs. These APIs are generated using SWIG to wrap the C++<BR>classes/methods, and in Java's case I believe that SWIG generates JNI<BR>wrappers. I'm sure that a real developer will correct me if I've got<BR>any of this
wrong...<BR><BR>Jason<BR><BR><BR>________________________________<BR><BR>From: steven citron-pousty<BR>Sent: Thu 2006-12-07 9:45 PM<BR>To: users@mapguide.osgeo.org<BR>Subject: [mapguide-users] Level of Java support<BR><BR><BR>Greetings all:<BR>I have searched the mailing list and it seems that the level of<BR>interest/support for Java is not really there for the MapGuide<BR>Community. The documentation does most of it's samples in PHP which is<BR>not what I am interested in, nor are most of my clients. Can anyone give<BR>some pointers on getting up to speed on the Java interface to mapguide. <BR>One quick question - is the Java version using JNI or some<BR>COM/Java bridge? I am kinda tired of that with ArcGIS products and do<BR>not relish the thought of bugs in the code crashing my JVM.<BR>Thanks<BR>Steve<BR><BR><BR>________________________________<BR><BR><BR><BR>---------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>To unsubscribe, e-mail:
