[mapguide-users] MapGuide Open Source Web Studio

[Paul Spencer]

ahhh ... thats the trick.

When I looked at an uploaded shape file using GetResourceContents

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FeatureSource xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"  
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd">
   <Provider>OSGeo.SHP.3.0</Provider>
   <Parameter>
     <Name>DefaultFileLocation</Name>
     <Value>%MG_DATA_FILE_PATH%</Value>
   </Parameter>
</FeatureSource>

it didn't seem to list the actual files so I wasn't sure what I could  
do with this and SetResourceContent.  Using EnumerateResourceData  
listed the actual files but there didn't seem to be a way to put this  
XML back into the server.   Now that I look at the schema for the  
feature source, I realize that I could probably just have multiple  
Parameter tags, one for each file, and used SetResourceContent :)

Cheers

Paul
