RE: .NET and the SimpleHttpImageServer

Well, I have been looking at the SimpleHttpImagerServer code, and the
ImageServer code to try and see where I can make my layers... My idea is
that I would add a request type for creating a layer, or add it as an
addition parameter when requesting a map that would instantiate a layer that
would be added to the map before it is returned. Obviously I am new to
OpenMap, so I am still not sure how I will do this, but I am working on it.
I looks to me like I will have to add most of the code to the ImageServer to
create the new layer. The layers seem to be getting defined in the
getLayers method, but I am still trying to understand that method and how it
pulls information from the properties file..

If I am going in the completely wrong direction, I would appreciate any help
or points in a better direction.

Thanks,
Jim

Subject: .NET and the SimpleHttpImageServer

Hi,

I am creating a ASP.NET client which utilizes several web services, one of
those (I hope) being the OpenMap service as described in the .NET Demo
provided with the most recent release. I was able to get that working, and
am extremely impressed with the easy it was to get up and running and how
well it works. I apologize if this question has been asked already, but I
could not find it in the archives.

>From my .NET client I would like to create layers that would plot points and
lines on the map depending on options a user chooses. For instance if they
typed in a specific lon/lat set, I would plot a dot at that location, or I
would show a path by plotting multiple dots and connecting them with lines.
Pretty basic stuff. I have seen through examples like Crew how to do this
with a JAVA client, but looking through the SimpleHttpImageServer code, I
don't see where it captures any requests other than setting predefined
layers.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Jim
