<DIV>Paul,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A typical FeatureSourceDefintion (for SDF) that is created by Studio looks
like:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <BR><FeatureSource
xmlns:xsi="<A
href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</A>"
xmlns:xsd="<A
href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</A>"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd"><BR><Provider>OSGeo.SDF.3.0</Provider>
<BR><Parameter><BR><Name>File</Name>
<BR><Value>%MG_DATA_FILE_PATH%Parcels.sdf</Value>
<BR></Parameter><BR><Parameter><BR><Name>ReadOnly</Name>
<BR><Value>TRUE</Value>
<BR></Parameter><BR></FeatureSource></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you replace the %MG_DATA_FILE_PATH% with a physical path to the file on
the servers file system you can effectively "reference" data and not worry about
uploading it. A similar technique can be used for SHP files, Raster files,
etc.</DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>The preview of the web layout is from the sample Sheboygan
package. </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>Web Studio can load web layouts
using the ajax viewer, you just can't </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>create or
edit them yet.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>I had originally thought that we would only be supporting data
that </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>was already on the server. The data
that is stored on the server is </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>reported through
the MapAgent using the EnumerateResourceData </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>operation. The XML returned from this lists the data file or
files </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>that are part of the resource. There
doesn't seem to be a way to </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>create the XML and
put it into the server. Thus it doesn't seem </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>possible to support creating a feature source that refers to data
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>already on the server. I could be wrong about
this, though.</FONT> </P>

size=2>></FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> Wow, that really does look
great. I'm confused on a couple of issues,</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
though. First, it doesn't support load procedures, etc. I
think </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> that makes</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> sense for a pure web-based authoring tool, but at this
point, </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> people will</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> still have to use MapGuide Studio to load their data and
then </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> author it with</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> this tool instead? I could see that a company may choose to
have a </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> couple</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
of licenses of Studio for this and other advanced functionality
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> purposes and</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> then
use the open source version for other folks needing to create
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> maps from</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> that
data. I also imagine that others will eventually develop open
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> source</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> tools for
loading data without the need for Studio.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>> Second, you say that it doesn't support web
layouts. Are the </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> webLayout's
in</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> the Web Studio version different than MapGuide
Studio web layouts?</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>></FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
Thanks again for developing this open source tool. It will be very
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> useful.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>></FONT>
