[protege-discussion] Missing map instance warnings from GraphWidget

[Jonathan Carter]

Hi Samson,

OK, so to make sure I understand, if I create a graph in a client, when I
come to open it again, the server cannot serve me the locations/sizes etc.
and so everything reverts to default (at least it doesn't fail or crash!)?

What I've got is a project that was created in stand-alone mode, including
some graphs and now I'm using this project in client-server mode and even
all the graph properties that I can see in the server project files are not
'sent down' to the clients. So, effectively, I've started with what you
suggested as the solution but am still having problems. If I open the
server's project locally on the server in stand-alone mode, everything is
fine with my graphs. I saved this standalone project to a new version on the
server and used this for client-server mode, but I am still getting the
warnings from my clients.

Do you know if there are any plans to resolve this at some point? Or are
there any pointers/thoughts as to what the solution is? I'd be happy to help
resolve the issue.

Thanks again for your help

Jonathan

You need to open the project in standalone mode and re-position/re-size
nodes and links in the graph. The server doesn't know anything about the
graph-widget layout information entered on the client side. It is a known
issue in the use of graph widget in client/server mode.
