[mapguide-dev] PHP pages for describing a feature source RFC

[Rex Szeto (Intern)]

Hi Jason,

 

Yes, the scripts for this will be in another directory with the same
level as the mapagent/* and mapadmin/*. I'll make changes on the RFC to
specify this.

 

As for the contents of the resource header, can you clarify as to what
you are looking for?

I performed a GetResourceHeader on a Raster feature source in the
mapagent and got back the information:

 

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 

- <ResourceDocumentHeader
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ResourceDocumentHeader-1.0.0.xsd">

  - <General>

      <IconName>FeatureSourceRasterAtil</IconName> 

    </General>

  - <Security
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ResourceSecurity-1.0.0.xsd">

      <Inherited>true</Inherited> 

    </Security>

  </ResourceDocumentHeader>

 

Thanks,

Rex

Cool idea.  I really like the idea of doing this as a generic feature
that can be used by either Studio or Web Studio.

 

I'm a little at a loss on where these will fit in.  

 

- The php viewer won't always be installed

- The mapagent/*.(html|php) scripts will generally not be installed on
production machines

- The mapadmin/* scripts will typically be secured to the point where
accessing them from Studio or Web Studio may not be realistic.

 

Do we need a new location for generic server-side web scripts?

 

I would also like to be able to use these scripts to view the contents
of the resource header for the feature type, including any metadata
(resource metadata, not ISO or FGDC metadata).  This would help
understand feature types like Raster and WMS better.

 

Jason

I have just posted a draft of the RFC for "PHP pages for describing a
feature source" in MGOS to the following location:

 

http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/MapGuide_RFC_8_-_PHP_pages_for_describin
g_a_feature_source

 

Please take a look, and post any feedback to this group.

 

Thanks,
