Re: [OpenMap Users] Shape dbf attribute

Hi Steve,

The dbf file doesn't contain any information about where the attributes
go. You have to use the shp file for that. The order matches up
between the files. Look at the com.bbn.openmap.plugin.esri.EsriPlugIn
for an example of using both files. While that plugin doesn't really
display the contents of the dbf file, it does access the information
from it for a particular OMGraphic being moused over and you can use
that information to create OMText objects (or any other object you want
to represent that attribute).

I'd get the layer/plugin working in the application first, since that's
easier to debug, and then just stick those properties for your
layer/plugin in the properties file for your MapRequestHandler after
it's working.
