Missing VectorScaleRange in LayerDefinition causes Runtime Exception

[zspitzer]

for example not having <VectorScaleRange?>.....</VectorScaleRange> in a layer definition for example throws

An exception occurred in DB XML component. Error: XML Indexer: Parse error in document at line, 9, char 28. Parser message: Not enough elements to match content model : '(ResourceId?,Opacity,(FeatureName?,FeatureNameType?,Filter,PropertyMapping?,Geometry,Url,ToolTip?,VectorScaleRange?),ExtendedData?1)'

however having an empty <VectorScaleRange?></VectorScaleRange> ie no styling or scale ranges

will case a runtime error and a console dialog on xp.

the following is listed in the logs

• MgStylizationUtil?.StylizeLayers? line 923 file c:\build_bond_area\mapguide_open_source_v1.2\build_13.7\mgdev\server\src\services\mapping\StylizationUtil?.cpp Failed to stylize layer: Datasets_ABORIG_NT

Yep, having an empty VectorScaleRange? is allowed, according to the schema. The server needs to gracefully handle this case.

This was fixed at some point in the 2.0 code stream.

I encountered no problems when testing with a layer definition with an empty VectorScaleRange element.
