rich:virtualEarth location marker?

[kwutzke]

Hello,

I have implemented a simple rich:gmap showing a marker of the current location:

{code}
        
<rich:gmap gmapVar="arenaGmap#{_postAddress.ordinalNbr}"
                   
gmapKey="lalalalalalalalala............"
                   
lat="#{_postAddress.latitude}"
                   
lng="#{_postAddress.longitude}"
                   
mapType="G_HYBRID_MAP"
                   
style="margin: 0px auto; width: 100%; height: 500px" />
        
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function()
{
arenaGmap#{_postAddress.ordinalNbr}.addOverlay(
    
new GMarker(new GLatLng(#{_postAddress.latitude},
                            
#{_postAddress.longitude}))
    
);
}
        
</script>
{code}

I was trying the same for rich:virtualEarth, following the example at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/keithkin/archive/2007/04/28/virtual-earth-api-simple-veshapelayer-example.aspx:

{code}
        
<rich:virtualEarth var="arenaVemap#{_postAddress.ordinalNbr}"
                           
lat="#{_postAddress.latitude}"
                           
lng="#{_postAddress.longitude}"
                           
mapStyle="Hybrid"
                           
dashboardSize="Normal"
                           
style="margin: 0px auto; width: 100%; height: 500px" />
        
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function()
{
var shapeLayer = new VEShapeLayer();
shapeLayer.AddShape(new VEShape(VEShapeType.Pushpin, new VELatLong(#{_postAddress.latitude}, #{_postAddress.longitude})));
arenaVemap#{_postAddress.ordinalNbr}.AddShapeLayer(shapeLayer);
}
        
</script>
{code}

But the pushpin isn't shown. In Firefox I get an error saying:

{code}
Error: VE_MapDispatch_SymbolLib is null
Source: http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.1
Line: 149
{code}

IE 8 doesn't show the pin either (same error text).

The code causing the error is:

{code}
if ( g == VEShapeType.Pushpin )
    b.symbol = VE_MapDispatch_SymbolLib.GetMapSymbolByID(MC_PROPERTY_PUSHPIN);
{code}

Looks like some JS file missing when trying to look up the pushpin graphic object from a "symbol lib".

Can anyone help? How can I make it work?
