You should insert the "UTF-8" header into the mapDoc. <br>
On top of my head it is something like:<br>
<tt>XmlNode decl = mapDoc.CreateXmlDefinition("1.0", "UTF-8");<br>
mapDoc.Insert(0, decl);<br>
</tt>You might have to remove an existing xmldefinition.<br>
<br>
After that, you can get the byte stream, and it will be UTF-8 encoded:<br>
<tt>MemoryStream xmlStream = new MemoryStream();<br>
mapDoc.Save(xmlStream);</tt><br>
<br>
If your stream starts with:<tt><br>
byte[] { 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF };<br>
</tt>you must remove those three bytes.<br>
<br>
You can then get the byte array by: <br>
<tt>byte[] utf8EncodedXml = xmlStream.ToArray();</tt><br>
<br>
And finally:<br>
<tt>MgByteSource byteSource = new MgByteSource(</tt><tt>utf8EncodedXml </tt><tt>,
</tt><tt>utf8EncodedXml</tt><tt>.Length);<br>
byteSource.SetMimeType(MgMimeType.Xml);</tt><br>

<pre wrap="">Following the logic below to create a weblayout and mapdefinition by
modifying the xml and using SetResource to save the updated xml into the
session repository, I am having some problems.
Initialize web tier
Create a session, and open connection
Use GetResource to retrieve the Xml for the WebLayout AND MapDefinition
Modify the MapDefinition Xml to your liking (add layers etc.)
Save the MapDefinition to the session repository, using SetResource.
Update the WebLayout's map resourceid to point towards your modified
WebLayout.
Save the WebLayout to the session repositiory, using SetResource
Start the viewer, pointing at the newly created WebLayout.
I am getting an error message 'The map definition is invalid.' when the
viewer loads.
The following code works no problem and the viewer displays the weblayout
and map from the session repository.
//Code above for modifying xml for web layout changing map resource and
persisting to session
MgResourceIdentifier mapResourceID = new
MgResourceIdentifier("Library://Demo/Maps/Demo.MapDefinition");
MgByteReader byteRdr2 = resService.GetResourceContent(mapResourceID);
String sessMapName = mapResourceID.GetName();
MgResourceIdentifier SessMapResId = new MgResourceIdentifier("Session:" +
sessionId + "//" + sessMapName + ".MapDefinition");
resService.SetResource(SessMapResId, byteRdr2, null);
//Loads into viewer no problem
But as soon as I try to load the map definition xml using SetResource I get
the invalid XML error
//Code above for modifying xml for web layout changing map resource and
persisting to session
MgResourceIdentifier mapResourceID = new
MgResourceIdentifier("Library://Demo/Maps/Demo.MapDefinition");
MgByteReader byteRdr2 = resService.GetResourceContent(mapResourceID);
String sessMapName = mapResourceID.GetName();
String mapResStr = byteRdr2.ToString();
//Load the web layout into an xml document
XmlDocument mapDoc = new XmlDocument();
mapDoc.LoadXml(mapResStr);
XmlElement mapRoot = mapDoc.DocumentElement;
MemoryStream xmlStream = new MemoryStream();
mapDoc.Save(xmlStream);
byte[] mapDefinition = xmlStream.ToArray();
Encoding utf8 = Encoding.UTF8;
String mapDefStr = new String(utf8.GetChars(mapDefinition));
mapDefinition = new byte[mapDefStr.Length - 1];
int byteCount = utf8.GetBytes(mapDefStr, 1, mapDefStr.Length - 1,
mapDefinition, 0);
MgByteSource byteSource = new MgByteSource(mapDefinition,
mapDefinition.Length);
byteSource.SetMimeType(MgMimeType.Xml);
//Load the modified map into the session repository
MgResourceIdentifier SessMapResId = new MgResourceIdentifier("Session:" +
sessionId + "//" + sessMapName + ".MapDefinition");
resService.SetResource(SessMapResId, byteSource.GetReader(), null);
//This causes an invalid map error when the viewer loads
Any pointers on why manipulating the map definition is causing problems
would be great. Using the same techniques I am having no problems
manipulating the webDefintion or layerDefinition
Thanks

When the viewer loads, it creates a map from the weblayout/mapdefinition
passed.
Your runtime map gets overwritten when the viewer starts.
Instead you can do this:
Initialize web tier
Create a session, and open connection
Use GetResource to retrieve the Xml for the WebLayout AND MapDefinition
Modify the MapDefinition Xml to your liking (add layers etc.)
Save the MapDefinition to the session repository, using SetResource.
Update the WebLayout's map resourceid to point towards your modified
WebLayout.
Save the WebLayout to the session repositiory, using SetResource
Start the viewer, pointing at the newly created WebLayout.
You may of course use the "Library://" repository, if you want the
changes to persist.
