Re[mapguide-users] freshing a map/layer... from server side, avoiding JavaScript

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

It sounds as if you want to do a "server push" rather than the more 
common "client pull".
I'm not sure that it is easily accomplished, but since the AJAX viewer 
contains a lot of JS code, I don't see any problems in an extra refresh 
call.

Regards, Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S
