So
you've just identified an area that we need to work on a bit.
Ideally the MapGraphic Service should always be loaded in the catalog
but it isn't yet. So you have to load it manually if it isn't in
the local catalog the following code will do it. yourExtensionID is the id of
your map graphic :
Map map =
ApplicationGISInternal.getActiveMap();
try
{
IGeoResource mapGraphicResource =
null;
URL url = "">new URL(MapGraphicService.SERVICE_URL, "#"
+ yourExtensionID); //$NON-NLS-1$
List<IResolve> matches =
CatalogPlugin.getDefault().getLocalCatalog().find(url,
new
NullProgressMonitor());
if (!matches.isEmpty())
mapGraphicResource
= (IGeoResource) matches.get(0);
if (mapGraphicResource == null) {
List<IService> results =
CatalogPlugin.getDefault().getServiceFactory()
.acquire(url);
for( IGeoResource resource :
results.get(0).members(new
NullProgressMonitor()) ) {
if
(resource.getIdentifier().getRef().equals(url.getRef()))
{
mapGraphicResource = resource;
break;
}
}
}
if (mapGraphicResource == null)
return;
Layer layer =
map.getLayerFactory().createLayer(mapGraphicResource);
map.sendCommandSync(BasicCommandFactory.getInstance().createAddLayer(layer));
} catch
(MalformedURLException e) {
MapGraphicPlugin.log("", e); //$NON-NLS-1$
} catch
(IOException e) {
MapGraphicPlugin.log("", e); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
The code also creates and adds the mapgraphics to a map.
Cheers,
Jesse

I've implemented a MapGraphic extension, but
I need a handle to the
MapGraphic. I see the example of
creating a layer based on the
MapGraphicService URL, but nowhere do I see
how to get the MapGraphic
handle. I see (in the debugger) that
the MapGraphic is contained in the
IGeoResource, but I can't figure out how it's
exposed.
Thanks in advance,
