Constructor Detail

SchematicElementClass

public SchematicElementClass(Object obj)
                      throws IOException

Construct a SchematicElementClass using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to SchematicElementClass.
Casting to this class from the return value of a method will not work, as this class represents an abstract class in ArcObjects.

   * 
SchematicElementClass o = (SchematicElementClass)obj; // will not work 

 
SchematicElementClass o = new SchematicElementClass(obj); // Use this constructor instead

* @param obj an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:: IOException - if there are interop problems SchematicElementClass theSchematicElementClass = (SchematicElementClass) obj;

The set of properties for the dataset.

Description

The PropertySet property is used to return any additional intrinsic properties (but not metadata properties) that may apply to the dataset. One use of this property is to distinguish between the types of File Geodatabase datafile formats. If called on a Feature Class or Table in a File Geodatabase the Datafile Format property can either be esriFGDBStandardDatafile or esriFGDBCompressedDatafile.

Most datasets do not implement this property and will either raise an error or return a null value if it's called. There are a handful of exceptions that will return property sets; these include the datasets from file geodatabases (as mentioned above) and coverages.

Remarks

Examples of intrinsic properties for which explicit methods exist include the SpatialReference and the Extent methods available on the IGeoDataset interface. In most cases this PropertySet will be empty.

IDataset::PropertySet is not supported for Graph objects such as a Geometric Network.

getExtent

public IEnvelope getExtent()
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

The extent of the GeoDataset.

Remarks

The IGeoDataset::Extent property returns an envelope representing the maximum extent of data which has been stored in the dataset.

Consider the following scenario. A new feature class has features added to it. The IGeoDataset::Extent is then requested and an envelope is returned. The extents of the envelope returned are represented by the red box in the image below.

The red box represents the IGeoDataset extent

If a portion of the features were then deleted and the extent is again requested an envelope with the exact same extents as during the first request would be returned (see image below). This is because the deletion of features does not shrink the extent. However all additions of features outside the red box would increase the envelope returned to encompass the newly added features.

The red box represents the IGeoDataset extent after some of the features have been deleted

If you would like to update the IGeoDataset::Extent property to reflect the current features in your dataset please see IFeatureClassManage::UpdateExtent (also see IFeatureClassLoad). In the image below the extent has been updated and a new envelope is being returned.

The red box represents the IGeoDataset extent after it has been updated

ESRI's GroupLayer implements this property differently from most other layer coclasses. When you instantiate a new GroupLayer, this property will return a valid envelope with zero height and width. With most other newly instantiated layers (for example FeatureLayer, RasterLayer, TinLayer), this property initally returns Nothing.

True if the dataset is being edited.

Remarks

Once an edit session has been started on a workspace, the IsBeingEdited method on the IDatasetEdit interface can be used to determine if a particular dataset is participating in the edit session.

The reasons why a dataset may not participate include the connected user has no privileges or permission to edit the dataset, the connected user is not licensed to edit this type of dataset, or the dataset is not versioned but a versioned edit session has been started (or vice versa).

                                 AutomationException

Registers this class with the database, assigning it a class id and creating an object id column.

Description

The RegisterAsObjectClass method will register a table or feature class (ArcSDE layer) in the database with the Geodatabase. The act of registering the data as an object class will create records for the object class in the Geodatabase system tables and assign the object class a unique ID. Once a table or SDE layer is registered as an object class, it can participate in rules, topological relationships and relationships.

When registering a table or ArcSDE layer as an object class, an ObjectID field must be added to it. This field will contain the object IDs which uniquely identify each feature in the class. The object IDs for existing data will automatically be generated. Once a table or ArcSDE layer has been registered as an object class in the Geodatabase, it cannot be unregistered.

RegisterAsObjectClass takes two arguments: the name of the object ID field, and the ArcSDE configuration keyword to use for storage of the new data that is inserted into the object ID field. RegisterAsObjectClass returns a long which is the object class ID assigned to the newly registered class.

                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException

Changes the instance COM class associated with this database class.

Description

The AlterInstanceCLSID is used to change the behavior class for an object class in the Geodatabase. For example, you may have a class that stores simple feature objects and you want to change it to implement a custom object that you have developed. You use the AlterInstanceCLSID to do so.

Remarks

AlterInstanceCLSID will try to instantiate the object for the CLSID that you provide. If it fails to instantiate it, the method will fail. Therefore, you must have the DLL which has the implementation of your custom object registered on your system before you call AlterInstanceCLSID.

Before you QI for AlterInstanceCLSID, you will have had to open the object class. So, if this fails because you no longer have the DLL registered on your system, then you must use the IFeatureWorkspaceSchemaEdit interface to alter the instance CLSID.

No additional checking is done beyond instantiating the instance object. If the object class does not have the fields required for supporting the custom object then your class may not function with its new instance CLSID.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:: alterInstanceCLSID in interface IClassSchemaEdit

Parameters:: instanceCLSID - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IUID (in)

                                     AutomationException

Changes the class extension COM class associated with this database class.

Description

The AlterClassExtensionCLSID method is used to change the class extension for an object class in the Geodatabase. For example, you may have a class to which you want to associate a class extension that you have developed. You use the AlterClassExtensionCLSID to do so.

Remarks

AlterClassExtensionCLSID will try to instantiate the object for the class extension that you provide. If it fails to instantiate it, the method will fail. Therefore, you must have the DLL which has the implementation of your class extension registered on your system before you call AlterClassExtensionCLSID.

Before you QI for AlterClassExtensionCLSID, you will have had to open the object class. So, if this fails because you no longer have the DLL registered on your system for a class extension that is already associated with the class, then you must use the IFeatureWorkspaceSchemaEdit interface to alter the class extension CLSID.

                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

The default domain of the object class field.

Remarks

Domains are used in the Geodatabase to validate the contents of fields in an object class. For example, you can use a domain to specify a valid range of values, or a valid set of values for a particular field in an object class. You can assign domains to a field in an object class at either the class level, or the subtype level. The AlterDomain method on IClassSchemaEdit allows you to set a domain for a field at the class level.

AlterDomain takes as arguments the name of the field you want to associate a domain with as a string, and the domain you are associating as an IDomain. You can get an enumeration of domains in a workspace by calling the Domains or DomainsByFieldType methods on the IWorkspaceDomains interface.

Once a domain is associated with a field in your object class, the values in that field will be validated against that domain when a row in the object class is validated with the IValidate interface, or the Validate Selection command in the Editor.

                              AutomationException

The default value of the object class field.

Remarks

You can assign a default value to a field in an object class at either the class level, or the subtype level. The AlterDefaultValue method on IClassSchemaEdit allows you to set a default value for a field at the class level.

AlterDefaultValue takes as arguments the name of the field you want to associate a default value with as a string, and the default value you are associating as a variant. AlterDefaultValue will fail if the default value cannot be stored in the field.

Once a default value is associated with a field in your object class, you can use the InitDefaultValues method on IRowSubtypes to populate the fields in a object in your object class with its default value. This method is most often called after you have created a new feature or object in the object class, and before storing it.

createRow

public IRow createRow()
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Creates a row in the database with a system assigned object ID and null property values.

Remarks

The CreateRow method creates a new row in the underlying database with a system assigned object id value. A row object representing the created row is returned to the caller. The row object returned has the system assigned object ID as the value of the OIDField. All other fields are initialized to null values if they can be made null and to built-in default values appropriate to the type of the field if they cannot be made null.

The caller is responsible for setting the desired field values into the row and calling the Store method on the row. If the table represents an object class with subtypes, then it is the caller�s responsibility to set the default subtype code into the row and call the InitDefaultValues method on the row before storing, if that is the desired result. For tables without object behavior, insert cursors offer a more efficient way for inserting new rows.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

public IRow getRow(int oID)
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException

The row from the database with the specified object ID.

Remarks

The GetRow method returns an existing row object, given its object ID value. The caller can query the returned row object for additional object specific interfaces. The retrieved row may be modified; calling Store on the row object after changing it will trigger messages to related objects and will mark the row for committing to the database.

                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

The cursor of rows based on a set of object ids.

Remarks

The GetRows method returns a cursor that may be used to retrieve a set of rows specified by the input array of object id values. See the description of the Search method to understand the meaning of the recycling parameter. It is far more efficient to retrieve a set of rows using the GetRows method than it is to retrieve each individual row using the GetRow method. The retrieved rows may be modified; Store should be called on the row objects after changing them.

The oids parameter should be passed an integer array. For example:

                                  AutomationException

Creates a row buffer that can be used with an insert cursor.

Remarks

The CreateRowBuffer method creates a new row buffer object in memory and returns it to the caller. No row is created in the database. The returned row buffer does not have an object ID value. The caller can set values into the row buffer and use it as an argument to the InsertRow method on an insert cursor; the latter is obtained by calling the Insert method on the Table.

               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Returns a cursor that can be used to update Rows selected by the specified query.

Remarks

The Update method returns an update cursor that can be used to update or delete rows. It offers somewhat faster performance than multiple calls to Store or Delete on row objects fetched using a non-recycling search cursor for tables storing simple rows and simple features. There is no difference in performance for complex objects and features.

When using cursors within an edit session, they should always be scoped to edit operations. In other words, a cursor should be created after an edit operation has begun and should not be used once that edit operation has been stopped or aborted.

Specified by:: update in interface ITable

Parameters:: queryFilter - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IQueryFilter (in); recycling - The recycling (in)
Returns:: A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ICursor
Throws:: IOException - If there are interop problems.; AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

insert

public ICursor insert(boolean useBuffering)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Returns a cursor that can be used to insert new Rows.

Remarks

The Insert method returns an insert cursor that can be used to bulk insert rows. It offers significantly faster performance than multiple calls to CreateRow and Store for tables storing simple rows and simple features (that is, for tables whose CLSID is esriGeoDatabase.Row, esriGeoDatabase.Object, or esriGeoDatabase.Feature).

Insert cursors on tables containing complex objects use the CreateRow and Store methods to achieve polymorphism, and there is no difference in performance in these cases.

                            IWorkspace selectionContainer)
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

A selection that contains the object ids selected by the specified query.

Remarks

The Select method returns a selection set that holds either row IDs or row objects from the Table depending on the selection option. Multiple selection sets can be created on the same table. It is up to a client application or object to keep a reference on created selections and use them as appropriate. For example, a FeatureLayer creates and uses selections on a FeatureClass (a type of Table).

The selType parameter determines the type of selection set that will be created: an ID set, a snapshot, or a hybrid. See the ISelectionSet interface for a comparison of the three types.

When calling Select the selectionContainer parameter is no longer required. A null value should be passed as this parameter.

changeSchemaLock

public void changeSchemaLock(int schemaLock)
                      throws IOException,
                             AutomationException

Changes a schema lock.

Remarks

There are two kinds of schema locks: shared and exclusive. Shared schema locks are applied automatically by the geodatabase when accessing a dataset and are removed when all references to the dataset are removed. For this reason, it's not necessary to explicitly apply or remove shared schema locks. There is no limit to the number of shared schema locks a dataset or object can have at any given time.

In contrast to shared schema locks, exclusive schema locks are controlled by the developer or ArcGIS application, such as ArcMap or ArcCatalog. An exclusive lock is used to lock a geodatabase dataset or object from use by others to make the necessary changes to it. An exclusive lock is promoted from a shared lock and demoted back to a shared lock when no longer needed. The presence of additional shared schema locks on a dataset or object prevents an exclusive schema lock from being applied and precludes the ability to make changes to the underlying dataset and its schema while it is in use. Only one exclusive schema lock is allowed per dataset. As opposed to shared schema locks, exclusive schema locks are not applied or removed automatically; it is the responsibility of the developer to apply or remove exclusive schema locks.

Limit the scope of exclusive schema locks to the operation that requires the lock. Gather the necessary information to perform the action, obtain the exclusive lock, make the change, and release the lock. Some examples of operations for which an exclusive schema lock should be obtained include:

Modifications to attribute domains, such as adding or removing values from a coded value domain or changing the range for range domains

Adding or deleting a field from a feature class or object class
Associating a class extension with a feature class
Creating a topology, geometric network, network dataset, terrain, schematic dataset, representation, or cadastral fabric on a set of feature classes
Any use of the IClassSchemaEdit interface
Putting a feature class into and taking it out of load-only mode with the IFeatureClassLoad.LoadOnlyMode method
Managing (creating, deleting, or modifying) spatial and attribute indexes

Once the action requiring an exclusive schema lock is complete, the exclusive schema lock must be demoted to a shared lock. This includes when errors are raised during the schema modification, for example, consider the case where a field is being deleted from a feature class. To delete the field, an exclusive schema lock is obtained. However, on the call to DeleteField, an error is thrown; that is, the field being deleted is a required field, such as the ObjectID field. In the handling of the error, the exclusive schema lock must be demoted to a shared lock before proceeding.

Remarks

The ISchemaLockInfo interface is used in concert with ISchemaLock to provide information about a schema lock, for example, whether it is shared or exclusive and for ArcSDE geodatabases, the name of the user who has the lock. Note that there will always be at least one schema lock on the dataset. Also note that by checking the schema locks on a dataset a shared schema lock is applied to the data.

The unique ID for the object class.

Description

Returns the unique ID of the object class.

Remarks

Each feature class or table registered with the geodatabase is an object class. Object classes have a unique ID which distinguishes them from other object classes in the geodatabase. The ObjectClassID property returns this ID as a long. The object class ID is assigned by the system when the class is created, or registered with the geodatabase, it cannot be modified.

Those feature classes and tables that are in the database, but not registered with the geodatabase will always have an object class ID of -1.

The alias name of the object class.

Description

Returns the alias name for the object class.

Remarks

Object classes in a geodatabase can have between one and three names. The name of the object class, which is the same as the name of the table in the DBMS in which the objects in the object class are stored, the alias name which the user can set for display purposes in end user applications. The third name is the model name which is a tool for developers of custom objects to use to guarantee the names of objects independent of the true name or alias name.

The AliasName property returns the alias name for the object class. If the object class has no alias name, then AliasName will return the name of the object class (fully qualified if on ArcSDE). The alias name can be modified using the IClassSchemEdit interface.

canBypassStoreMethod

                                    AutomationException

Indicates if updates to objects can bypass the Store method and OnChange notifications for efficiency.

Remarks

CanBypassStoreMethod is a convenience method that returns True if the instances of this object class have no custom behavior associated with creating or updating objects and if the object class does not participate in composite relationship classes or in relationship classes that require object notification. A return value of True implies that insert cursors handed out by the geodatabase will internally bypass the CreateRow and Store mechanisms when creating objects. A return value of False indicates that insert cursors will not bypass custom Store or OnChanged behavior implemented by the custom row object for this class.

By default, this method returns False for custom object classes. The developer of a custom object class can change this behavior by implementing this interface on the class extension associated with the class and returning True for the method.

In addition, a developer can implement this interface on the class extension of a simple class and set this property to False . Doing this will ensure that when features in the class are inserted, updated or deleted by editor tools that use insert and update cursors, such as Planarize, Create Features and the Object Loader do not bypass Store or OnChanged behavior. By default, this property for a simple class is logically True, meaning these tools will not broacast Geodatabase events which in turn are not rebroadcast as editor events (for which a custom editor application may be listening). Set this to False for those classes for which you always want to have these events broadcast. Alternatively, this can be set globally for the entire edit session using the IWorkspaceEditControl interface.

                                    AutomationException

Indicates if updates to objects can be safely made outside of an edit session.

Remarks

CanBypassEditSession is a convenience method that returns True if the instances of this object class may be created or updated outside of a Geodatabase edit session (an edit session is started by using the StartEditing method on the IWorkspaceEdit or the StartMultiuserEditing method on the IMultiuserWorkspaceEdit interface).

If True , then applications may update the data in this object class using any of the data updating interfaces and methods described here without starting an edit session. In this case applications are responsible for starting host database transactions as appropriate and for discarding cached object states across transaction boundaries when running on an ArcSDE database.

If False, then applications should always make modifications to the data in this object class within an edit session for correct multi-user behavior and for correct management of database state internally cached by the Geodatabase for the objects in this object class.

This method returns False for network feature classes. By default, this method returns True for non-network custom object classes. The developer of a non-network custom object class can change this behavior by implementing this interface on the class extension associated with the class and returning true for the method.

The subtypes associated with the class.

Description

Subtypes returns a IEnumSubtype populated with all of the subtypes for the given object class.

Remarks

Every ObjectClass has a default subtype code. If the user has not explicitly specified a default subtype or a subtype field, then DefaultSubtypeCode will return a subtype code of zero. Additionally, you can query the HasSubtype property; a value of False indicates an absence of a default subtype code, True indicates the presence of a default subtype code.

If the client instead asks for the enumeration of subtypes associated with an ObjectClass and no subtype has been previously added to the ObjectClass, then the enumerator will contain a single entry with a code of zero. The subtype field index value will be �1 if a default subtype has not been previously specified. Subtypes may only be short or long integers (esriFieldTypeSmallInteger or esriFieldTypeInteger). When setting the default subtype code, if one already exists, then it will be deleted. A subtype field must have been specified prior to setting the subtype code value.

Every type of field, except for esriFieldTypeShape, may have a default value. When setting the default value (which my be assigned on a subtype basis), it will be checked against the field�s associated Domain (if one exists) for validity.

This property returns all of the subtypes for the associated object class. Subtypes returns an IEnumSubtype enumeration which you can loop through to get all of the subtypes.

validate

public ISelectionSet validate(IQueryFilter selection,
                              IWorkspace workspace)
                       throws IOException,
                              AutomationException

Validates the selection.

Description

This method creates a selection set that contains the underlying class' invalid objects.

A query filter can be provided to validate a portion of the class' objects, but passing a null value will evaluate all of the class' objects.

The Workspace parameter indicates where the selection set is to be created. In most cases, a null value can be used, indicating that the class' workspace be used. If necessary, a scratch workspace may also be used.

Remarks

Validate on a row occurs in five steps:

Validate the subtype
Validate the attribute rules
Validate the network connectivity rules (if network feature)
Validate the relationship rules
Perform custom validation (using optional class extension)

The validate process stops once a row is found invalid. For example, if a network feature violates an attribute rule, the validation process stops and the feature's network connectivity rules are not evaluated until the attribute rule violation is corrected.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:: validate in interface IValidation

Parameters:: selection - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IQueryFilter (in); workspace - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IWorkspace (in)

                                       AutomationException

Validates the selection.

Description

This method creates a selection set that contains the underlying class' invalid objects.

A selection set must be passed to the first parameter, indicating that a subset of the class' objects should be evaluated. Unlike the query filter parameter of the Validate method, this parameter requires a valid selection set, and passing a null value will cause the method to fail.

Remarks

The AlterRule method is used to change the characteristics of an existing rule. This is currently implemented to change a subset of properties for connectivity rules only. These properties are:

minimum and maximum cardinalities
default junction for junction connectivity rules
default junction classID for edge connectivity rules
default junction subtype code for edge connectivity rules

To alter other properties of a connectivity rule, the rule must be deleted and recreated with the appropriate changes.

synchronize

public void synchronize(int action,
                        int interval)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Updates metadata with the current properties; may create metadata if it doesn't already exist.

Description

The Synchronize method is used to extract metadata properties from an object and write those properties to the metadata .xml. Depending on the value of the esriMetaSyncAction, the Synchronize method may generate a new set of metadata if it doesn't already exist.

Remarks

The following actions will result in synchronization given each of the listed conditions:

Action	Metadata status	Esri/Sync element	Interval parameter
esriMSAAccessed	Doesn't matter	Must not be FALSE	Must be less than actual interval
esriMSAAlways	Doesn't matter	Doesn't matter	Doesn't matter
esriMSACreated	Must not exist	Must not be FALSE	Must be less than actual interval
esriMSANotCreated	Must exist	Must not be FALSE	Must be less than actual interval
esriMSAOverwrite	Doesn't matter	Doesn't matter	Doesn't matter

The difference between esriMSAAlways and esriMSAOverwrite lies in which elements are synchronized. esriMSAAlways will honor the removal or value change of an element's Sync attribute (to disable synchronization), whereas using esriMSAOverwrite is equivalent to setting the IXmlPropertySet2.OverwriteSyncAttribute to true for the metadata's property set, meaning that even elements without a Sync attribute of TRUE will be synchronized.
