[Chameleon] Does chameleon have a WMS CLIENT?

[Paul Spencer]

Roland,

Chameleon uses MapServer on the server to handle all mapping including 
both local and remote data.  There are a number of very good technical 
reasons to use this approach rather than directly connecting to a wms 
server from the browser.  There are also a number of good technical 
reasons to go directly to the server :)  There are a bunch of apps 
designed to do just this, a couple that come to mind are MapBender or 
MapBuilder.

Cheers,

Paul

Cheers,

Paul
