[OpenLayers-Users] MapFish vs OpenLayers

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

I think you need to differentiate between MapFish and GeoExt.

GeoExt adds a nice looking GUI to OpenLayers, it's all still javascript. GeoExt is also used by MapFish.

What is complex in your opinion?

MapFish is more than just a client webmapping package, it's a full web-mapping solution, so server-side + client-side.

Best regards,
