Hi Claude, thanks for answering me. :-)

MamboServer is a very nice CMS which basically has a "component" 
architecture...you can install, uninstall or create your components.

Example: I could create a "CartoMambo" component...so when users pointo to 
"Maps" link on the application( which should be something like 
"/index.php?option=com_cartomambo&param1=xxx&param2=yyyy..." ) the file "
cartomambo.php" should be included from "components" directory.

Mambo has its own functions to handle inputs(get/post...it also filter data 
againts xss, injections...) and also a database API to run SQLs. 

Could I be able to insert "carto client" code inside this component file?

How does cartoclient interface widgets are handled? As pre-defined .html 
files? such as mapserver and chameleon does?

best regards.

Eduardo
