BUG
Cannot retrieve data correctly using SDE Java API after upgrading a layer from low precision to high precision, which could cause unexpected behaviors in ArcIMS or ArcExplorer Java Edition.
When upgrading a layer from low precision to high precision, the previous low precision coordinates of shapes are not changed, but a second coordref object is added to record the precision changing. ArcSDE converts data from low precision to high precision, during data retrieving, based on associated coordref objects.
