Documentation for GEOMESSAGE Format

[Ricksson83]

Hi there,

The ArcGIS Runtime uses the Geomessage format to transmit military messages. Unfortunately there is no documentation for valid parameters. Could Esri publish such a document for the developers?

Regards, M.R.

The Geomessage format is not part of core ArcGIS but instead is part of the ArcGIS for the Military solution. Geomessages are used by the following ArcGIS for the Military templates in GitHub:

• Vehicle Commander
• Squad Leader
• solutions-geoevent-java (specifically the GeoMessage Adapter)

These applications and adapters pass messages over UDP in the Geomessage XML format. Vehicle Commander and Squad Leader use military-apps-library-java’s AdvancedSymbolController class to translate between Geomessages, which are part of ArcGIS for the Military, and Messages, which are part of core ArcGIS Runtime and can be displayed on the map by the MessageProcessor.

You can learn more about the Geomessage format from the following resources:

• Sample Geomessages
• Geomessage source code with Javadoc comments
• AdvancedSymbolController source code with Javadoc comments
• GeoMessageAdapter documentation
