[mapguide-users] Error: Unable to Make Permanent Changes to Map

[Robert Bray]

Stephen,

There are two distinctly different object types at play here and I 
suspect you might be confusing them. MapGuide Studio creates what we 
refer to as a MapDefintion. It is defined by an XML document and 
primarily contains a coordinate system, extent, background color, and 
layer and group lists.

The MgMap object represents something slightly different.  MgMap 
represents an instance or run time representation of a MapDefinition. 
Each client through the viewer has it's own copy of an MgMap that is 
usually stored in a session. I'll have to check, but I am not sure an 
MgMap can be saved to the Library repository (that is the software may 
prevent them from being saved in Library://). Like I said I'll need to 
check on that.

Assuming it is allowed, the problem below may be because you are trying 
to save an MgMap using a resource identifier with type 'MapDefinition'. 
Before you go any further however, you should think about whether you 
are really trying to create an MgMap or a MapDefinition.

Hope this helps...
