Re: Adding shape layers- cdnt yet add my own layer

Hi all,
this is how my openmap.properties look..the alterred part.

# Layers listed here appear on the Map in the order of their names.
openmap.layers=date daynight graticule demo shapePolitical india

openmap.startUpLayers=demo shapePolitical india

# In OpenMap 4.4, the LayerAddPanel was added. This panel allows
# certain layers/plugins to be added to the application dynamically.
# Only certain layers/plugin have been updated to be able to work with
# the Inspector to set their inital parameters. To add a layer to this
# list, create a unique marker name for a generic instance of the
# layer, and then supply the <layername>.class field and
# <layername>.prettyName (see below) for that object. The class name
# will be the type of layer/plugin created by the LayerAddPanel, and
# this prettyName will be the generic description of the layer
# presented to the user. The user will have an opportunity to name
# the specific layer that gets created.
openmap.addableLayers=earth shape grat rpf shispi eipi

grat.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.GraticuleLayer
grat.prettyName=Graticule Layer

shape.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.ShapeLayer
shape.prettyName=Shape Layer

# ###################################################
# These are the properties for individual layers. Consult the
# javadocs (Java API pages) for the individual layers for options.

### Layer used by the overview handler
overviewLayer.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.ShapeLayer
overviewLayer.prettyName=Overview
overviewLayer.shapeFile=data/shape/dcwpo-browse.shp
overviewLayer.spatialIndex=data/shape/dcwpo-browse.ssx
overviewLayer.lineColor=ff000000
overviewLayer.fillColor=ffbdde83

# Demo layer - the layer's palette has a bunch of buttons to call
# the Drawing Tool.
demo.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.DemoLayer
demo.prettyName=Demo

###
# DrawingToolLayer - no palette, just a generic layer to catch
# graphics from the OMDrawingToolLauncher, and to call the OMDrawingTool
# to edit graphics already part of the layer.
drawing.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.DrawingToolLayer
drawing.prettyName=Truck Layer
drawing.addToBeanContext=true

### ShapeFile layers
shapePolitical.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.ShapeLayer
shapePolitical.prettyName=Political Boundaries
# Specify shapefile and spatial-index file as a filename or pathname.
# If the former, you must reference the directory where this file
# lives in your CLASSPATH
shapePolitical.shapeFile=data/shape/dcwpo-browse.shp
shapePolitical.spatialIndex=data/shape/dcwpo-browse.ssx
# Colors (32bit ARGB)

# Colors (32bit ARGB)
india.lineColor=99FF0000

  Hi Anoop,

  Are you sure that the openmap.properties file being read is the one you
  are modifying? Can you see your new layer on the Layers Menu or on the
  Layer Panel?

  For applets, the openmap.properties has to be in the codebase.
