New ColdFusion Mapscript interface

[Steve Lime]

No, but the Perl folks are pissed... ;-)

Sounds like a great addition. Perhaps you could create a page around
this on the
MapServer website? Either a link to your site or perhaps a howto if
there is enough
interest...

Thanks for making this available!

Hi Paul,

If the emails get too indepth and no one else is interested in reading
the
conversation then I will take it off list.

The CFC is written to talk to mapscript.jar which in turn talks to
mapscript.so.  This means that you need both jar and shared library in
your classpath and library path.  So yes, it is plain Jane in the sense
it
uses the standard jar and shared library that the other languages use.

Once setup you can use the init method and then the create method to
get
generate an image.  There are of course alot more methods for
controlling
extents, layers, etc.

If you are compiling mapscript swig interface yourself then please
make
sure your swig version is up to date as they changed the enumerated
data
types from numbers to string values and I need te string values

Now, I hope I haven't upset any php folks out there :-)

Cheers,
Simon
