LocatorManager

public LocatorManager()
               throws IOException,
                      UnknownHostException

Constructs a LocatorManager using ArcGIS Engine.

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

UnknownHostException - if there are interop problems

LocatorManager

public LocatorManager(Object obj)
               throws IOException

Deprecated. As of ArcGIS 9.2, replaced by normal Java casts.
LocatorManager theLocatorManager = (LocatorManager) obj;

Construct a LocatorManager using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to LocatorManager.

Parameters:

obj - an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

Method Detail

getClsid

public static String getClsid()

getClsid.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this object with another

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

the hashcode for this object

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

getLocatorWorkspace

public ILocatorWorkspace getLocatorWorkspace(IWorkspace wks)
                                      throws IOException,
                                             AutomationException

Returns the locator workspace for a workspace.

Remarks

The GetLocatorWorkspace method returns a reference to a locator workspace contained by the workspace represented by the wks parameter.

If the wks parameter is a reference to an ArcSDE workspace, then this method returns a reference to a DatabaseLocatorWorkspace.
