Interface IWorkspaceExtension

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

IWorkspaceExtension2, IWorkspaceExtension3

All Known Implementing Classes:

AddressLocatorWorkspaceExtension, CadastralWorkspaceDatasetExtension, IWorkspaceExtension2Proxy, IWorkspaceExtensionProxy, MosaicWorkspaceExtension, NetworkDatasetWorkspaceExtension, RepresentationWorkspaceExtension, TerrainWorkspaceExtension, ToolboxWorkspaceExtension, TopologyWorkspaceExtension, WorkspaceExtension

public interface IWorkspaceExtension
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that supply workspace extension information.

Superseded By

IWorkspaceExtension2

Remarks

The Workspace instantiates all WorkspaceExtensions that are registered in the component category CATID_GeodatabaseWorkspaceExtensions at connection time. An application extension can find a workspace extension by its well known GUID (globally unique identifier) and invoke methods supported by the extension as appropriate.

IWorkspaceExtension is a mandatory interface that must be supported by all workspace extensions.

Product Availability

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

Method Detail

getName

String getName()
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

The Name for this Workspace Extension.

Remarks

The Name property is the name of the extension.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The pName

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getGUID

IUID getGUID()
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

The GUID that identifies this Workspace Extension.

Remarks

The GUID property returns the well-known GUID for the extension and is guaranteed to be unique.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IUID

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getPrivateDatasetNames

IEnumBSTR getPrivateDatasetNames(int dtype)
                                 throws IOException,
                                        AutomationException

The private datasets that should not be exposed to browsers.

Product Availability

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

Parameters:

dtype - A com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.esriDatasetType constant (in)

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IEnumBSTR

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getDataDictionaryTableNames

IEnumBSTR getDataDictionaryTableNames()
                                      throws IOException,
                                             AutomationException

Any data dictionary tables that should not be exposed to browsers and should not participate in edit sessions.

Remarks

The PrivateDatasetNames and DataDictionaryNames properties return the names of tables and datasets that are private to the extension and will not be exposed by the workspace to browsing clients. Since they return an EnumBSTR object that is not cocreatable, you must create your own object that implements IEnumBSTR.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IEnumBSTR

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
