<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Steve,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm pretty happy with the way that our
community is developing; most questions are getting answered these days, and
many of the answers are coming from other users rather than from the
developers. This is a great sign.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>That said, we're still really in the early
days. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are at least a couple Java
folks on the list, but they've been pretty quiet so far. If my experience
with PHP and C# has been any indication though, Java should be pretty
smooth. Basically install the server and web extensions, and then install
the Java viewer sample to get a headstart on how the APIs are used.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you choose to go ahead and try out the
Java APIs, I'd really be interested in hearing about your experience. It
would be great if we could start developing some documentation around
using the various APIs, including any idiosyncrasies. We could start out
by posting to the Wiki, and then move to the project website as the content
matures.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm pretty sure that there's nothing COM
about MapGuide. It's been engineered from the ground up in cross-platform
C++ using TCP/IP for IPC, and runs natively on both Linux and Windows as a
service/daemon, as a CGI "MapAgent", and as a series of web-friendly APIs.
These APIs are generated using SWIG to wrap the C++ classes/methods,
and in Java's case I believe that SWIG generates JNI wrappers. I'm
sure that a real developer will correct me if I've got any of this
wrong...</FONT></DIV>

[mapguide-users] Level of Java support<BR></FONT><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Greetings all:<BR>I have searched the mailing list and it seems that the
level of interest/support for Java is not really there for the MapGuide
Community. The documentation does most of it's samples in PHP which is not what
I am interested in, nor are most of my clients. Can anyone give some pointers on
getting up to speed on the Java interface to mapguide. <BR>One quick question -
is the Java version using JNI or some COM/Java bridge? I am kinda tired of that
with ArcGIS products and do not relish the thought of bugs in the code crashing
my JVM.<BR>Thanks<BR>Steve<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
