Re: serving multiple shape files with Linklayer

Hi Rajesh,

The current ShapeLinkServer only provides a way to serve up a single
shape file at a time, so if you want multiple shape files displayed,
you'll have to set up multiple layers and multiple servers.

You could create your own ShapeLinkServer to use multiple SpatialIndex
objects to access more than one shape file at a time. The protocol
doesn't limit you in terms of how your server is constructed and what
data it accesses.

Cheers,

Don
