Incorrect XML definition

[jnel]

When i create a compound symboldefinition in Maestro, the XML provided in the Autodesk document (building_symbol_libraries_with_autodesk_mapguide_enterprise_2009.pdf) for the hospital symbol is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SimpleSymbolDefinition xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="SymbolDefinition-1.0.0.xsd" version="1.0.0"> <Name>Hospital</Name> <Description>International Hospital Symbol</Description> <Graphics> <Path> <Geometry>M -2.5,2.5 H 2.5 V -2.5 H -2.5 Z</Geometry> <FillColor>FF0000FF</FillColor> <LineColor>FFFFFFFF</LineColor> <LineWeight>0.75</LineWeight> <LineWeightScalable>false</LineWeightScalable> </Path> <Path> <Geometry>M -1.0,1.25 V -1.25 Z M 1.0,1.25 V -1.25 Z M -1.0,0.0 H 1.0 Z</Geometry> <LineColor>FFFFFFFF</LineColor> <LineWeight>0.75</LineWeight> <LineWeightScalable>false</LineWeightScalable> </Path> </Graphics> <PointUsage/> <ParameterDefinition/> </SimpleSymbolDefinition>

On the second last line the parameterdefinition structure is incorrect.

When i generate the layerdefinition in Maestro I provide it the following

<CompositeSymbolization>

<SymbolInstance>

<ResourceId>Library://sys/Symbols/Road.SymbolDefinition</ResourceId> <ParameterOverrides> </ParameterOverrides>

</SymbolInstance>

</CompositeSymbolization>

I Validate and save this definition, without error.

When I look at the xml again It is:

<CompositeRule>

<LegendLabel /> <CompositeSymbolization>

<SymbolInstance>

<ResourceId>Library://sys/Symbols/Road.SymbolDefinition</ResourceId>

<ParameterOverrides /> </SymbolInstance>

</CompositeSymbolization>

</CompositeRule>

I Believe the ParameterOverrides is illegal xml structure

This is not a bug. The Structure is correct according to Layerdefinition-1.1.0.xsd

Apparantly it is valid XML

Apologies for a false alarm

No worries. I was on vacation, so I just saw the post today :).
