[mapguide-dev] Does MapGuide support service loading dynamically?

[Bruce Dechant]

MapGuide does not currently support this dynamic loading. Though doing
this in the future is definitely something we are looking into.

Hi, All,

 

I am trying to develop several new services on MapGuide Server. The
ideal approach would be the dynamic approach. It can be described as: 

      1. Create a new service project separately from the existing code
base;

      2. Let MgServer.exe load the service DLL at runtime based on the
serverconfig.ini.

 

This approach can avoid recompiling the entire code base for the new
services.

 

But, by studying MapGuide Server source code, I found that Server Core
project has the links to all other 7 services. Obviously, the existing
services were not developed using this dynamic loading approach (correct
me if I am wrong). So, here is the question. Does MapGuide server
support dynamic loading for the newly-developed service DLL? 

 

Thanks,
