Update Notes

If you skip several versions during the update, please also follow all update notes of the intervening versions.

Savestate service database schema

A new field has been added to the database schema for the Savestate service. By default, this field is added automatically when the service is started. However, if you made changes to the db.hibernate.schemaUpdate property in your application.properties file this might not happen automatically. Ensure its value is configured as such:

db.hibernate.schemaUpdate=update

Bundle sdi_share-link

The configuration for the properties shareTitle and shareMessage has been moved from the Config component to the ShareAppStateLinkCommand component.

Example

Old configuration:

{
    "sdi_share-link": {
        "Config": {
            "shareTitle": "My Title",
            "shareMessage": "The message"
        }
    }
}

New configuration:

{
    "sdi_share-link": {
        "ShareAppStateLinkCommand": {
            "shareTitle": "My Title",
            "shareMessage": "The message"
        }
    }
}

The Config component has been removed. See the sdi_share-link bundle documentation for details.

Available Features

At the moment the following features are available:

  • Load services dynamically via URL or favorite list

  • Extend the map.apps ToC with special functions:

    • Reordering of services, layers and predefined groups

    • Warnings regarding wrong extent, SRS or 3D mode

    • Legend per service

    • Show capabilities

    • WMS SLD selection

    • Change order of layers

  • Map States

    • Save, load and share map states

    • Order of services and layers

    • Sketching

    • map.apps ETL support

    • Created, modified and last accessed date (for admins only)

  • SRS Changer

    • Selection of predefined spatial reference systems

  • Scale Changer

    • Seletion of predefined scales and input of scales

  • Show service copyright

    • Custom or service-provided

  • Use Geocoding Service from BKG in omnisearch and search-ui

These functions or features are not available in map.apps SDI:

  • Not supported for map states:

    • Chosen SLDs are not saved

    • 3D mode only limited

  • Not available for the ToC:

    • ArcGIS Image service style selection

    • Show layer legend

    • Request feature info for a specific layer

    • Zoom to initial extent

  • Alternative WMS configuration instead of a WMTS

  • Live Configuration for SDI bundles

The only backend service that is still in use is the Save State Service. The service type resolver (STR) and XML to JSON converter service are no longer in use.

Some functions (e.g. changing the SRS) are not available for all services types. If you want to use these functions in your app you should only use the following types of services in your app (otherwise the app couldn’t work properly):

  • ArcGIS Server Feature Server

  • ArcGIS Server Map Server (dynamic or tiled)

  • ArcGIS Image Server

  • ArcGIS Scene Server

  • ArcGIS Vector Tile Service

  • OGC API - Features

  • Web Map Service (WMS)

  • Web Map Tile Service (WMTS)

  • Web Feature Service (WFS) (WFS 2.0.0 with GeoJSON output format)

  • INSPIRE View Service

The 3D mode together with map.apps SDI features should be used wisely.
