[mapserver-users] ASP as template file

[David Graham]

Christian:

The template file is being read directly from the file system as a flat
file and return to the user directly by the CGI.  It is not running
through the ASP engine at all.  If you want to use mapserver with ASP
you will need to put it behind your ASP.  ie. call the asp page and have
it call the mapserv CGI and then reformat the output within your ASP
page and dump it to the screen.  I have not done it in ASP but I have
done similar in JSP.
