[mapguide-users] Best practice to save user resources

[Tom Fukushima]

Hi Gunter,

Solution 1 should be fine. When MapGuide Studio connects to a site, it
only requests the top level resources of the repository to populate the
site explorer tree.  So if you limit the number of resources at the
root, but using root level folders, Studio will not request the whole
repository when you connect.

In other words, the site explorer tree is lazily loaded, requests for
the contents of a folder are only done when the folder is opened.

Subject: [mapguide-users] Best practice to save user resources


Hi,

I actually migrate an MapGuide6.5 application to MapGuide Open Source
and want to know the best way of storing user resources (currently
MapDefinition, WebLayout,
LayerDefinition)  from the session repository when the user logs out my
application. The user should be able to store up to 5 userdefined Maps.
So I think about two different solutions

1. Solution
The old MapGuide6.5 application has ca. 100 - 1000 users and so I'm a
bit afraid of storing all the userdefined resources in the
"Library"-Repository.
For example: MapGuide Studio seems to load the complete
Library-information when connecting to it and I don't want studio to
hang up. Also getting the resources via API into a XmlDocument could
last for some time.
Am I'm right?

2. Solution
Another option is to store the resources XML representation into a
database from where I will load the resources at the time when the user
needs them.

I think the first solution is easy to implement (not much work) but has
the described disadvantages (in my opinion). On the other hand the
second solution means more work but better performance.

So what's the right solution you think?? Or maybe you have other
solutions??

Gunter
