How do I view the mapping metadata through JDevelopers Connections Navigator?
We have developed an Oracle JDeveloper extension that lets you browse the available list of styles, themes and basemaps defined in a datasource through JDeveloper’s Connections Navigator. To do this, first download the mvconnection.jar file from OTN’s MapViewer site. This jar contains code that defines a MapViewer connection type for JDeveloper. To install, drop this jar file to the JDeveloper extension directory, usually $JDEV_HOME/jdev/lib/ext. Now restart JDeveloper, and you are all set. To define a new MapViewer connection (which establishes a HTTP connection to the MapViewer server instance), simply right click the “Connections” root node in the JDev Connections Navigator, and choose “New MapViewer Connection…” to start the wizard. Note that you should always use “/mapviewer/omserver” as the Server URL in step 1 of the wizard. Once you have such a connection defined, you can browse the names of the available styles, predefined themes and basemaps from any datasource of the MapVi
