Opening locator workspaces
To open various types of locator workspaces, use LocatorManager. There are three main types of workspaces for locators. Each type corresponds to the storage mechanism used for its locators:
- DatabaseLocatorWorkspace—Contains locators stored in a file, personal, or ArcSDE geodatabase.
- LocalLocatorWorkspace—Contains locators stored in a single folder on disk. The default LocalLocatorWorkspace stores the system locator styles.
- AGSLocatorWorkspace—Contains locators that are served as GeocodeServers by ArcGIS Server.
The LocatorManager object retrieves ILocatorWorkspace objects from the file system, a geodatabase, or from ArcGIS Server.
- Open a default LocalLocatorWorkspace to get the locator styles. See the following code example:
ILocatorManager locatorManager = new LocatorManager();
// Use "" as the path to direct the LocalLocatorWorkspace to the system locator
// style folder; i.e., ArcGIS\locators.
ILocalLocatorWorkspace localLocatorWorkspace = new ILocalLocatorWorkspaceProxy
(locatorManager.getLocatorWorkspaceFromPath(""));
- Open a LocalLocatorWorkspace. See the following code example:
ILocatorManager locatorManager = new LocatorManager();
ILocalLocatorWorkspace localLocatorWorkspace = new ILocalLocatorWorkspaceProxy
(locatorManager.getLocatorWorkspaceFromPath(
"d:\\workspace\\arcobjects\\location"));
- Open a FileGDB DatabaseLocatorWorkspace. See the following code example:
ILocatorManager locatorManager = new LocatorManager();
IWorkspaceFactory factory = new FileGDBWorkspaceFactory();
IWorkspace workspace = factory.openFromFile(
"D:\\workspace\\arcobjects\\location\\redlands.gdb", 0);
IDatabaseLocatorWorkspace pDatabaseLocatorWorkspace = new
IDatabaseLocatorWorkspaceProxy(locatorManager.getLocatorWorkspace(workspace));
- Open a PersonalGDB DatabaseLocatorWorkspace. See the following code example:
ILocatorManager locatorManager = new LocatorManager();
IWorkspaceFactory factory = new AccessWorkspaceFactory();
IWorkspace workspace = factory.openFromFile(
"D:\\workspace\\arcobjects\\location\\redlands.mdb", 0);
IDatabaseLocatorWorkspace pDatabaseLocatorWorkspace = new
IDatabaseLocatorWorkspaceProxy(locatorManager.getLocatorWorkspace(workspace));
- Open an ArcSDE DatabaseLocatorWorkspace. See the following code example:
// Open an ArcSDE workspace.
IPropertySet connectionProps = new PropertySet();
connectionProps.setProperty("server", "mendota");
connectionProps.setProperty("instance", "esri_sde");
connectionProps.setProperty("database", "arcobjects");
connectionProps.setProperty("user", "sde");
connectionProps.setProperty("password", "sde");
connectionProps.setProperty("version", "SDE.Default");
IWorkspaceFactory factory = new SdeWorkspaceFactory();
IWorkspace workspace = factory.open(connectionProps, 0);
// Open the database locator workspace.
ILocatorManager locatorManager = new LocatorManager();
IDatabaseLocatorWorkspace databaseLocatorWorkspace = new
IDatabaseLocatorWorkspaceProxy(locatorManager.getLocatorWorkspace(workspace));
- Open an AGSLocatorWorkspace. See the following code example:
// Open an ArcGIS Server connection.
IPropertySet connectionProps = new PropertySet();
connectionProps.setProperty("machine", "mendota");
IAGSServerConnectionFactory factory = new AGSServerConnectionFactory();
IAGSServerConnection pAGSServerConnection = factory.open(connectionProps, 0);
// Open the AGSLocatorWorkspace.
ILocatorManager2 locatorManager = new LocatorManager();
IDatabaseLocatorWorkspace databaseLocatorWorkspace = new
IDatabaseLocatorWorkspaceProxy(locatorManager.getAGSLocatorWorkspace(new
IAGSServerConnectionNameProxy(pAGSServerConnection.getFullName())));
