[Mapserver-users] More than 100 layers in Mapserver

[Ed McNierney]

Trent -

In addition to the advice you're getting about why you might not need
more than 100 layers, you should know that there's nothing wrong with
using more than 100 layers <g>.  There's a static array of layer
information in MapServer, and by default it's compiled for 100 entries;
making it larger would make MapServer use more memory (but not really
very much) and most users don't need it.  But there's nothing wrong with
it - I use it that way all the time.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] More than 100 layers in Mapserver

Does anyone have Windows binaries for, say, 500 layers (or even more) in
Mapserver?  Can anyone comment on if such a large number of layers is an
issue?
 
Thanks,
