Description
In ArcSDE 9.x, the constants in "SeLayer" seem to have changed. This can cause ArcSDEAdapter.getGeometryType() to return an incorrect geometry.
it seems that there are two ways to determine a layer's geometry type:
1) Check its type against the TYPE_* constants, and
2) If that fails, check the type against the various SE_*_TYPE_MASK constants
The problem in this instance is that the SeLayer's geometry type is "2", which corresponds to both TYPE_LINE and SE_POINT_TYPE_MASK. The layer's true geometry is Point, but since it matches against TYPE_LINE in case 1, the wrong geometry type is returned.
With my limited understanding of ArcSDE and the java API it uses, I propose a method to hopefully fix this:
1) Check if the major version of the instance is 9 or higher. If it isn't, proceed exactly as before.
2) If the major version is 9 or higher, do not perform case 1 above. (ie do not check the type value against the TYPE_* constants)
Attached is a patch that makes these adjustments to ArcSDEAdapter on 2.2.x.
