[mapguide-users] reading and editing SDF data with java

[Zac Spitzer]

You don't edit SDF data directly, Mapguide uses FDO which is an abstraction
layer for accessing spatial data using a common api...

think of it like ODBC/JDBC for spatial database access.

So once you have created a feature source containing your SDF file,
you then use the resource API methods to manipulate the data.

The API docs has lots of code samples, some in Java, but a lot in PHP
