[mapguide-users] featurereader, tileservice, map.open() problem

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

When the viewer starts up, it does the following:
1. Create a new session. This implies creating a temporary empty repository
2. "Compile" information from the Library respository, regarding the map 
(such as feature source names, etc) into a binary format.
3. Store this binary version in the session repository, at the root, 
using the MapDefintion name as the name.
4. Display the map.

When you start by calling the "CreateSession()", you redo step 1, and 
thus have no runtime map.
When you call "map.Create()", you replicate step 2 and 3.

This makes the two maps decoupled, and thus any changes to one is not 
visible in the other.

You must login using the SessionID, obtained from the viewer, not with 
username/password.
As for naming, it usually creates a bit of confusion.
If you MapDefinition has the path 
Library://myfolder1/myfolder2/MyMap.MapDefinition, it becomes 
Session:<session-id>//MyMap.Map.
If you need to modify a layer, you can copy it into the session 
repository, and change the runtime map to point at the session path instead.

As for the feature reader, you might have to prefix the schema with the 
schema name, like "SDF_2:Voting".
