[mapguide-users] JSP and PHP and fusion

[Paul Spencer]

Fusion is still unfortunately buggy in some specific areas, your  
mileage will vary depending on how you use it (we use it extensively  
without problems - or at least we fix the problems as we run into  
them).  Fusion is designed to support alternate back ends (jsp,  
php, .net) but only the PHP version exists at this time so you do have  
to have both PHP and JSP versions of mapguide web tier installed -  
there have been reports of using fusion/php and developing task panes  
in .NET and perhaps JSP successfully.

Cheers

Paul
