[mapguide-users] what is the use of mapagent?

[Jason Birch]

Hello,
 
The calls to MapAgent are not documented anywhere yet.  It's on my list of stuff I'd like to do, but... time is hard to come by :)
 
For the most part, the MapAgent calls are very similar to the API functions.  You can reverse-engineer the parameters either by using the MapAgent test scripts (http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapagent/index.html) or by reading through the source:
 
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/browser/trunk/MgDev/Web/src/HttpHandler/
 
It can be a bit tough going, partly because the parameter strings are stored in a resource file, so you have to keep referring to this to figure out what the actual parameters that you need to send are:
 
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/browser/trunk/MgDev/Web/src/HttpHandler/HttpResourceStrings.cpp <http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/browser/trunk/MgDev/Web/src/HttpHandler/HttpResourceStrings.cpp> 
 
Jason
