Re: [udig-devel] doubt in plugin

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

A couple htings:

- the sqlserver jdbc driver - to get it to show up you will need to go to the MANIFEST.MF editor; runtime tab and add the jar as something the MANIFEST.MF is publishing (from there it should update the .classpath and let you compile etc...)

- to prompt the user for something you already have the control you need; you are making a tool - when they have issued their four points you can open a dialog and ask the user for the name. If you just need the name you may even be able to use one of the built in dialogs that JFace provides

- in the future you may want to extend your tool to allow them to click on existing gates and change the name

Hi Jodi

 

I have downloaded sql server jdbc driver and tried to connect through it, But I couldn't.

 

I have added that sqlserver jdbc driver jar to my mapgraphic plugin under referenced libraries, even thogh it is showing error like class not found exception (com.microsft.sqlserver.jdbcdriver), Where actullay I need to add my jar to the plugin .

 

I have a small doubt here

 

Once I create a gate then it has to ask a name for the gate on the map,and user has to enter the name for that.

how can i give the input data on the map ?

 

Hope you can help me

 

Thanks in advance

Not a problem - it is good to build community.

And remember you did the hard work :-) I have it easy answering questions. The next step (of saving your gates to and from the database should be okay for you I guess). When you get to testing your gates against the road network you may have some questions about the JTS and the geometry classes; I can try and answer some questions, there is a jts email list,  and the javadocs are really good.

You have the right class; but unless you change the code to draw lines you will not draw lines :-)

I think rather than storing individual coordinate on the blackboard you may want to store a "gate" on the blackboard.

Make a class called gate with 4 points in it. And make your tool create gates; and you map graphic draw them.

With programming there are always many ways to do things; you should go with something you are comfortable with.
