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

These may help u further ........

C:\servers\jakarta_tomcat\webapps\ROOT\data\shape>java com.bbn.openmap.layer.sha
pe.ShapeFile states1_region.shp
Shape file: states1_region.shp
version: 1000
length: 269068
bounds:
        min: ESRIPoint[-1,378,574.855199,778,488.689327]
        max: ESRIPoint[1,491,556.573446,4,414,609.178043]

C:\servers\jakarta_tomcat\webapps\ROOT\data\shape>java com.bbn.openmap.layer.sha
pe.ShapeFile -v states1_region.shp
Checking file length...
correct.

  Hi Anoop,

  It sounds like the new layer is being added to the applet. Do you know
  if the shp file has pre-projected data in it? It has to be in decimal
  degrees. You can use the SpatialIndex object to dump the bounding boxes
  to the screen if you run it in the ssx file, to see what the range of
  coordinates are.
