Perhaps we are talking different; it is not that I am withholding code from you - it is that the request to add multiple resources does not make sense.
Question:
a) Do you want to add multiple points to an existing layer representing a shape file? If so please ask the layer for a FeatureStore and call the addFeatures method
-or-
b) do you want to change a layer showing points from a shape file; over to showing points from a database table? If so you will need to change what GeoResource the layer is using.
Layer.void setGeoResource( IGeoResource value ) is the method; because it is a read/write method you will need to call it from a command.
final IGeoResource changeResource = ….
final ILayer layer = ….
layer.getMap().sendCommandAsync( new AbstractCommand(){
public String getName(){ return "Change Resource"; }
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor){
((Layer)layer).setGeoResource( changeResource );
layer.refresh(null); // trigger redraw
}
});

I would like to create a resource Point into an existing layer.
Can you show me the code please?

Well you can set the ID on a layer (make your own command for this) or change what data it refers to; and it should pull a new resource out of the uDig catalog.
However a layer only does one resource at a time (in order to work with many it will ask the catalog if it knows any other resources that are associated with the layer it is displaying).

Interesting; I usually just pass the AddLayersCommand with more or more resources (and watch it create the default styles etc…).
I don't understand your question about "add to an existing layer some resources". The layer looks up the GeoResource to use in the catalog; using the Style to aid in drawing etc...

Hello everybody,
I use the following code in order to create a
new layer with some resources:
.....
try{
IMap map = ApplicationGIS.getActiveMap();
LayerFactory layerFactory = map.getLayerFactory();
Layer layer = layerFactory.createLayer(resource);
AddLayerCommand cmd = new AddLayerCommand(layer);
map.sendCommandASync(cmd);
}catch(Exception e ){
e.printStackTrace();
}
I have a simple question:
How can I add to an existing layer some resources?
Thanks.
Alberto
