[Gvsig_english] Accessing SDE binary geometry from gvSIG

[Harvey Arnone]

Yes, that worked.  I was able to install it and now the gvSIG SDE Driver
appears on the data base connections drop down.  I setup up a few layers
to our SDE9.2 instance (Oracle 10g), but it is VERY slow.  feature
classes with only 50,000 records take about 30-40 seconds to draw. by
comparison they draw nearly instantaneously in ArcMap.  

Have you had any similar experience with this?  Thanks for the help

Hello, Harvey:

When the ArcSDE extension installer asks if you want to check the
prerequisites, say 'no', then it will ask you to locate a 'java.exe'
file. Choose any java.exe you have installed in your computer, from a
JVM higher or equal to 1.4.2. In my case:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\jre\bin\java.exe

It will then say that 1.4.2 is recommended, but it's ok, a higher one
will do. Then go through the installation wizard and finally you only
have to copy the two JAR files mentioned in the installation
instructions to:

[GVSIG_FOLDER]\bin\gvSIG\extensiones\org.gvsig.sde\lib\

And that's it. The next time you start gvSIG, in the GeoBD connections
dialog you will see the 'gvSIG SDE driver' available in the drop-down
combo box.

I do not have an ArcSDE-managed database myself, so I cannot help you
further in this regard, sorry.
 
Cheers,

Thanks Juan, looks pretty straight forward.  However, while installing
the gvSIG plugin, it checked for Java JRE 1.4.2 and asked to install
it.
 I received the error attached on this e-mail. 

I've tried a bunch of different ways of resolving the problem
including
installing 1.4.2 from alternative sources.  I'm wondering if anyone
else
has encountered this problem and what I might do to overcome it. 

Thanks -Harvey Arnone

Hello, Harvey:

- Regarding ArcSDE, there is a gvSIG plugin (or extension) to get
read-only access. You can read the installation instructions here:

http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=1874&K=1&L=2 

And download it from here (bottom of the page):

http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=1873&L=0explotan&L=2 

And read the user manual here:

ftp://downloads.gvsig.org/gva/descargas/ficheros/Extensiones/gvSIG-1_1_1-ArcSDE_Client-man-1_0-es.pdf



it's in Spanish, but with the screen-shots in pages 5 to 8 is enough,
I
think.

- Regarding the direct access to Oracle Spatial or Locator databases
(Oracle SDO), you need to download the Oracle JDBC driver from  the
Oracle website:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_10201.html



Copy the 'ojdbc14.jar' file to this folder:

[GVSIG_FOLDER]\bin\gvSIG\extensiones\com.iver.cit.gvsig\lib\

and you will be able to access your tables with SDO objects in your
Oracle database with read-write access, so you can add and edit them
as
vector layers in your gvSIG project.

You can also check the Oracle Spatial section in the gvSIG English
manual:

ftp://downloads.gvsig.org/gva/descargas/manuales/gvSIG-1_1-man-v1-en.pdf

I understand that I should be able to connect to ArcSDE data stored in
Oracle from the gvSIG desktop application.  I cannot determine how to
do
this and hoped someone could direct me.

Alternatively, if this is not possible, how would I connect to Oracle
SDO datasets?

Thanks for your help.  I'm new to gvSIG.  -Harvey Arnone (Seattle
