AW: [mapserver-users] How do they do that???

[Geo-IT-GmbH]

Hi Steve,

we are also experimenting with Java applets to generate MapServer requests
(using Ross Searles ArcView utility). Can You please send us the code for
Your landview application. We are working on the combination of Java applets
and the MapServer oraclespatial option.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel
