[udig-devel] Catalog and styles

["Wellmann, Harald" <HWellmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How does the catalog interact with services and associated styles?

I'm working with my own IService (which resolves to DataStore) and my own IGeoResources (which resolve to FeatureSource and Style). The style is constructed from an SLD resource in my plugin. I want all my resources to have a predefined style, and the user is not supposed to change it.

This works fine when I first create a map. When I close and restart uDig, somehow the catalog intervenes, and the control flow is different, my default style creation never gets executed, and my map layers are rendered with some fallback style created by uDig.

How can I make sure that the catalog not only remembers my services but also the associated styles? Or how can I disable the catalog? (I must admit I do not really understand what it is good for, at least not for file-based datastores...)

Regards,

Harald
