  • 1.  Adding Custom Symbols to SSA

    Posted 01-09-2018 01:47

    Has anyone had any experience adding custom symbols to their SSA server? I've read up on the link that outlines the process below however the difficulty lies in getting bitmap images into a JAR file. I currently have 3 midev-core JAR files -

    namedresource.service-2.3.1332.jar

    persistence-mws-handlers-2.3.1332.jar

    security-2.3.1332.jar

    Can I insert the bitmap images into these JAR files somehow, or is there a different method to use that's more effective?

    Kind regards,

    Rob

    Can you elaborate on your question please, link you provided is for Spectrum spatial custom symbol and not SSA, although SSA use Spectrum spatial for mapping needs still I want to clarify about

    Which place in SSA you want this custom symbol to appear ?

    Hi Awkash,

     

    I'm looking to make a custom icon appear on the SSA Map Legend. As you can see from the image, I can upload maps where the symbols are MapInfo Compatible 3.0, however if I upload with a custom symbol the points do not appear. In this case I'm using lime green triangles, but in the past I've been able to use a custom symbol with our trademark 'Z' on it. Would I need to save the custom images to a location on the server?

     

    SSA Legend View

     

    Thanks,

    Rob

    You can zip your custom symbols and rename that file into .jar. After that place that file into install_dir/server/modules/spatial/lib and restart server.

    Alok,

    I have heard that it might be possible to avoid restarting the server after copying over the .jar file.

    Can you verify whether this is correct or is the recommended procedure always to restart the server?

    Thanks

    It's required to restart server because added jar is not added to classpath of Remote JVM.

    Either restart server or kill Remote JVM by identifying the PID using jmx-console.

    Steps:

    1) Open http://<host>:<port>/jmx-console

    2) Click on Spatial:name=Process,type=Remote Component

    3) Attribute "RuntimeName" value has <PID>@<HOST>

    4) Kill the Remote JVM process using PID

    5) Send Request
