ILocatorWorkspace2

Remarks

For some of the members of this interface, you must specify a Category string parameter. You can use categories to organize your locators and locator styles. All of the locators and locator styles provided with ArcGIS have a category of “Address”.

When To Use

Use the ILocatorWorkspace interface to manage the locators and locator styles in the locator workspace. You can use this interface to retrieve locators and locator styles from the locator workspace, as well as create, modify, and delete locators in the locator workspace.

Description

The GetLocatorName method retrieves a LocatorName object from a locator workspace.

Remarks

The Name parameter is the name of the locator that you want to retrieve from the locator workspace.

In ArcSDE workspaces, locator names are prefixed by the name of the ArcSDE user that owns the locator, as in "jack.My Locator". When you call methods in ArcObjects that have parameters that specify locators in a ArcSDE workspace, you must specify the full name of the locator, including the user name.

getLocator

ILocator getLocator(String name)
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

Gets a locator.

Description

The GetLocator method retrieves a locator from a locator workspace.

Remarks

The Name parameter is the name of the locator that you want to retrieve from the locator workspace.

Within the default local locator workspace, and within ArcSDE locator workspaces, locator names are prefixed by a user name, as in "jack.My Locator". In local locator workspaces, the locator name is prefixed by the user name of the current user. In ArcSDE workspaces, the locator name is prefixed by the name of the ArcSDE user that owns the locator. When you call methods in ArcObjects that have parameters that specify locators in a locator workspace, you must specify the full name of the locator, including the user name. Failing to do so will result in an error.

Gets a locator style.

Description

The GetLocatorStyle method retrieves a locator style from a locator workspace.

Remarks

The Name parameter is the name of the locator style that you want to retrieve from the locator workspace.

Within ArcSDE locator workspaces, locator style names are prefixed by the name of the SDE user that owns the locator style (usually the default SDE user), as in "SDE.US Streets with Zone". You must specify the SDE user as a part of the Name parameter when calling the GetLocatorStyle method on an ArcSDE locator workspace.

Parameters:

name - The name (in)

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ILocatorStyle

addLocator

ILocator addLocator(String name,
                    ILocator locator,
                    String configKeyword,
                    ITrackCancel cancelTracker)
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

Adds a locator to the locator workspace.

Description

The AddLocator method adds the specified locator to the locator workspace with the specified name.

Remarks

In general, when creating a locator, you will first retrieve a locator style from the locator workspace, set the properties on the locator style, then use the AddLocator method to create a new locator.

The Name parameter specifies the name for the new locator.

The Locator parameter is a reference to the locator that you want to add to the locator workspace.

The ConfigKeyword parameter is used to specify the ArcSDE storage keyword used to create the reference data indexes for the new locator. This parameter is only used if the locator workspace is in an ArcSDE database. Using a configuration keyword specifies certain parameters for storing tables to the ArcSDE database, and the proper configuration can improve the performance of your locators. For more information on ArcSDE configuration keywords, refer to the ArcSDE Configuration and Tuning Guide for your relational database management system (RDBMS). To use the default storage keyword for the ArcSDE database, specify a blank string for this parameter.

ICancelTracker is an optional parameter that you can use to specify a CancelTracker object that is used to display the reference data index building progress and allows the user to cancel the process.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Parameters:

name - The name (in)

locator - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ILocator (in)

configKeyword - The configKeyword (in)

cancelTracker - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.ITrackCancel (in)

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ILocator

                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Adds a locator style.

Description

The AddLocatorStyle method adds the specified locator style to the locator workspace.

Note: This method is deprecated in versions of ArcGIS later than 9.3.1.

Remarks

In general, you will only use this method if you have created your own custom locator style and want to copy it from one locator workspace to another.

The Name parameter specifies the name for the new locator style.

The Category parameter is used to specify the category of the new locator style. Address locator styles provided with ArcGIS all have a category of "Address".

The LocatorStyle parameter is a reference to the locator style to add to the locator workspace.

Deletes a locator.

Description

The DeleteLocator method deletes a locator or locator style from a locator workspace.

Remarks

The Name parameter is the name of the locator or locator style that you want to remove from the locator workspace.

In ArcSDE workspaces, locator names are prefixed by the name of the ArcSDE user that owns the locator, as in "jack.My Locator".
