Overview ¶

This RFC updates MapGuide to use the latest version of ACE.

For details, refer to ACE website:

​http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html

Motivation ¶

There have been several bug fixies and most noticably 64bit fixes that are required in order for MapGuide to work with 64bit.

Proposed Solution ¶

Upgrade existing OEM ACE 5.4 library to the latest ACE 5.6 library.

Implications ¶

The only noted change that impacts MapGuide was a change to the generateUUID() API used by MapGuide to generate a unique ID. The NEW API is called generate_UUID(). They are functionally identical.

Test Plan ¶

Build/Run on Windows/Linux.

Funding/Resources ¶
