[Chameleon] Yet another startup question

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Ken,

the way to go is 1.1 instead of 1.0.

1.1 has had several design improvements coming from 1.0 (service instance 
approach in 1.0 versus application based approach in 1.1). But soon 1.99 
is gonna be released, so if you have some time stick around and wait for 
that one instead. 1.1 can work both with MAP files and Web Map Context 
documents, but normally I end up using MAP files with CONNECTIONTYPE WMS 
layers. This is pure a configuration type of choice, as you can always 
load a context document into your application at runtime. So what I do is 
serve my local data through WMS like you suggest.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Bart
