Instead of using a CSS-customized SDM composite node,
you can use the compiled version of your symbol by enabling an option
of your IlvDiagrammer SDM engine,
as follows:
diagrammer.getEngine.setCompiledSymbolAutoLoad(true);
This requires that your compiled symbol classes are available
in the class path of your application. When creating the graphic object
of a node, if the SDM engine finds, in the class path, a Java™
class
with the full name corresponding to the palette package name and the
palette symbol ID, it creates an instance of the compiled symbol.
Otherwise, it creates a regular SDM composite node customized with
the symbol CSS. This automatic use of compiled symbols is also applicable
to an IlvDashboardDiagram component.
