Getting the Configuration of the Map
A map layer has a name and contains a set of uniformly shaped and attributed map objects. The geometry type of the map objects in a layer can be either POINT, POLYLINE, or POLYGON. The possible values for these layers are specified in the initial settings of the Map24 ReverseGeocoder and the MapTP map.
In every reverseGeocodePoints operation you must provide the map layers that should take part in the calculation. You can retrieve this information with the getMapConfiguration operation.
The following listing shows the general structure of the operation in the WSDL file of the Map24 ReverseGeocoder Service:
...
<message name="reverseGeocodePointsRequest">
<part name="RequestHeader" type="tns:RequestHeader"/>
<part name="ReverseGeocodePointsRequest" type="tns:ReverseGeocodePointsRequest"/>
</message>
<message name="reverseGeocodePointsResponse">
<part name="ReverseGeocodePointsResponse" type="tns:ReverseGeocodePointsResponse"/>
</message>
<portType name="Map24ReverseGeocoderPortType">
<operation name="reverseGeocodePoints">
<input message="tns:reverseGeocodePointsRequest"/>
<output message="tns:reverseGeocodePointsResponse"/>
</operation>
...
</portType>
...
Request
As you can see in the listing above, the getMapConfiguration operation only contains the RequestHeader as input message (see General Information: RequestHeader / ResponseHeader ). It is sufficient to pass only the Map24 ID in the RequestHeader element; all other fields can be omitted.
For HTTP GET requests the operation is called getMapConfiguration (action=getMapConfiguration).
Response
MapConfigurationResponse is the response of the getMapConfiguration operation.
