Oracle FMW MapViewer 11.1.1.7.1 Release Notes

New and changed features since MapViewer 11.1.1.7 ===============

- V2 (HTML5) API performance has been improved, especially when dealing with a large number of polygons.
- V2 API library no longer requires a local proxy servlet as the middleman when accessing a remote MapViewer server. Note that the remote server must be of the same version 11.1.1.7.1 or higher.
- Map Data Server (MDS), the vector theme streaming server of MapViewer, is now in lock-down mode by default and will not allow themes to be streamed to a client unless explicitly configured otherwise. You will need to manually edit the WEB-INF/mds.xml file to control which data sources and which themes can be streamed to a HTML5 application client. MapViewer restart is required for the changes to take effect.
- Added TomTom map service (and live traffic) support to both V1 and V2 JS APIs.
- V2 API now supports pre-defined themes with binding variables in its query condition.
- Added CORS support to the MapViewer server to support cross-origin browser requests.
- V2 API now supports map templates, which are sets of geoJson data stored as files that work together. Access to a MapViewer server is optional when developing and running applications based on map templates.
- V2 API now supports "indicator features" which are rectangles representing small polygon-type features whose labels cannot be displayed otherwise.
  Check out v2 tutorial D23 for a demo of this feature.
- MapViewer native (non-container) data sources can now use database service name in place of SID. To supply a db service name, you will use the same jdbc_sid attribute, but specify the service name with double slashes in front, such as follows:
  <map_data_source name="myds"
    jdbc_host="foo.com" 
    jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com" 
    jdbc_port="1522" 
    ... ...
  />
- the MVDEMO samples application is now available as a .war file for easy
  standalone deployment.

Install and other notes   ============================================

Please make sure to backup your existing application files and MapViewer configuration files.

For upgrade, just un-deploy or delete your existing mapviewer installation,
then deploy the new mapviewer.ear file.

For a fresh install of mapviewer.ear, please consult the User's Guide that comes with the
11.1.1.7 release which still applies to this patch.

To install the MVDEMO samples app, simply unzip its content into a mvdemo.war/
folder, then deploy to the same JEE server where MapViewer is already
deployed. Once deployed, it is accessed through the /mvdemo context path. 

The MVDEMO and Storm sample data sets from 11.1.1.7 release should be used
with the new Quick Start kit or the MVDEMO samples app.
