Hello all (insert usual sorry-I'm-a-newbie-I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing drivel here)
OK, with that out the way, on to business. Notwithstanding the vast non-existence of useful Java tutorials on the web, I was able to slap together a rather nice desktop app with most of the bells and whistles one would expect...except for the fact that I don't know where or how to obtain the information (metadata?) associated with shapes. I can query my layers by point, but the TEMPLATE throws me...that works well with the web-based maps but not with a stand-alone desktop app. The info I want, for instance the names and populations of towns, are all in a similarly named dbf file as the shp file. I don't want to distribute the data into a database, nor do I want to fetch an index from the layer and use a non-proprietary java library to break open the dbf to match the data contained therein with my index. So, my question, how would I interrogate shapes (using queryLayerByPoint) in a desktop app? Thanks in advance for your assistance in this regard. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Java-Mapserver-app---queryLayerByPoint.-How--tf4800141.html#a13733184 Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
