[mapguide-users] Session Map and Settings Serverside

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

What do you mean when you say that "visible" is read only?
You can use the "getVisible()" and "setVisible()" functions to set layer 
visibility.

An example here:
http://discussion.autodesk.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=629000&tstart=75

The "Session:xxx//MapName.Map" is an almost empty placeholder document.
The document has a binary object attached, which is what you modify with 
operations like the above.
You probably don't want to go there.

AFAIK, the map center and scale values are only stored in the client 
(aka: javascript).
So you have to use the Viewer API to get/set those values.
(The DWF viewer may be different)
