[Mapserver-users] mapserver and extern interfacing

[Sébastien DUBOIS]

hi all,
if you take  allok to the proprietary software like arcims soft, you'll see that
most of these soft works like servlets and allow interfacing with other
servlets which give them .xml or other.
my query is to know if mapserver can work like this.
Let's explain this more .
yet it's possible to use a database like postgresql to load layer.
but is it possible to send .shp to mapserv for a layer from an extern source
(without work with the database as a intermediary)
in other words is there an api of mapserv which allow to custumize this soft?

thanks in advance
