Hello,
I am new to mapserver.  I have many mapping apps that I would like to =
try to serve with mapserver, but many of the apps contain dynamic =
content.  I have seen that "PHP MapScript" is one way to change the =
mapfile dynamically, but I am wondering if it is the only way?  Do =
people have any opinions about "PHP MapScript" or the alternatives?  Can =
Java be used?
My needs are not too much... I need to dynamically add layers, and =
change the projection on the fly, etc.=20
I want to get a good understanding of the options before I begin a =
rewrite.
Thank you for your thoughts.
Shannon
