Empty Recordset returned by Java Connector when displayFeatures used

Description

Your Recordset is empty when you perform both of the following:

You call the 'displayFeatures()' method of the Map object; you then use the 'setFilterObject()' method for a FeatureLayers.

Cause

For each displayFeatures() method called, a 'Highlight Layer' is added to the map.

Setting a filter will not work if there is at least one existing HighlightLayer in the Layers collection.

Solution or Workaround

Code:

  map.displayFeatures(fl, firstWhere, false, mySymbol);
  map.displayFeatures(fl, secWhere, false, mySymbol);
  map.refresh();

  int index = 0;
  while(true){
     String layerName = map.getLayers().item(index).getName();
     if (layerName.equals("HighlightLayer"))
        map.getLayers().remove(index);
     else index++;
     
     if (map.getLayers().getCount()==index) break ;   
                 
  }
