MAESTRO and FDO

[Edmondo Elisei]

Dear All,

I have a .shp with parcels. I connected this file in MPG MAESTRO by FDO (unmanaged file... test connection works fine)
and added the source to a layer, added the layer to a new map, made new layout.

My browser doesn't show the map.

Trying to add feature to display (area for example) MAESTRO returns an error,
But it seems the shape is correct: I opened the file in ARCGIS and it contains areas and other metadata.

I seen Seboyang data examples (there are only .sdf format) and the GEOMETRY field contains "SHPGEOMETRY" instead in with my shape
the same field contains "GEOMETRY"

Someone can explain me the correct way to add a shape?

Sorry for my questions (and for my english), but I started with WEBGIS just few days ago.

Thanks

E.

To test if it is a problem with Maestro, you can press the "Preview"
button when you have the feature source open.
In the browser, click "Display features". If the data shows, its likely
a Maestro problem.

What are the exact steps you took to produce the error?
And what is the exact error message?
Does the Shape filename have a space or other non-standard character?

A feature source could in theory have more than one geometry column, or
perhaps both geometry and raster data.
Since both SHP and SDF are file based, the name does not mean much, and
the people building the two providers
gave the geometry column different names. In other words, it's ok for
them to be different.

No need to apologize, this list is created so people can ask questions.

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

What version of Maestro are you using (Click Help -> About)?

I have just tried reproducing in 1.0.8.27399 and I have no problems creating line styles.
You should be able to click the green plus sign, and then alter the line display style.

1) DATACONNECTION with FDO SHP PROVIDER
  1.1 - In Custom Editor - Unmanaged (file on the server) => files's path   (%MG_DATA_PATH_ALIAS[quadro]%qu_10u33.shp);
  1.2 - Save source in the data source folder;

2) LAYER CREATION
  2.1 - FEATURE RESOURCE to a shape's source;
  2.2 - set new layer style: I checked "displays lines"
  2.3 - Save => It returns msg error attached:
  2.3 - I checked "displays areas"
  2.4 - Save => It returns another msg error: "an error occured while saving: Object referenced set
      to  an instance of an object"

Ok, I can reproduce now.

It is an error in Maestro, I have logged this ticket for it:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/636

When you enable "lines", you must also add a line display style.
To do this, click the green "+" sign.
Then double click the "line style" box, and set up a color and line width.

You can now save the layer.

I realize that this is not as obvious as I thought.
I have filed an enhancement ticket for it:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/637
