Re: [OpenMap Users] Question Regarding an Error Message When Loading Shapefiles

Hi there, I have a question relating to the AreaShapeLayer object. I've
kind of got things working, wonder if you can help:

I want to select a specific polygon from a shape file so I:

use the AreaShapeLayer (see line 1 below),
after specifying the shapefile/ssx file I reference the dbf file (line 5),
then reference the keyIndex column (line 7).
I then specify the matching string (line 8), in this case all areas with
a matching string of CaspianSea
finally I colour the matching polygons.

(ignore the numbers, there just for reference)

1)Coastline.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.areas.AreaShapeLayer
2)Coastline.prettyName=Coastline
3)Coastline.shapeFile=data/shape/semi_detailed_world.shp
4)Coastline.spatialIndex=data/shape/semi_detailed_world.ssx
5)Coastline.dbfFile=data/shape/semi_detailed_world.dbf
6)Coastline.nameIndex=5
7)Coastline.keyIndex=5
8)Coastline.areas=CaspianSea
9)Coastline.areas.CaspianSea.fillColor=00000000
10)Coastline.lineColor=ff000000
11)Coastline.fillColor=ffbdde83

This works fine with records with no spaces ie. "CaspianSea", it doesn't
seem to work with records with spaces ie. "New Zealand" as the
properties file entry would look like this:

8)Coastline.areas=New Zealand

is there a way of specifying records with spaces? I've tried with quotes
but no success!

also I can't reference records with just numbers eg:

8)Coastline.areas=0030

Any Ideas?

Thanks for your help, have a good weekend!

Christian.
