[Chameleon] How can I use a map file like a context?

[Paul Spencer]

Alvaro,

you have two choices:

1. turn your map file into a WMS server then create a context that uses 
the layers from your WMS server

2. don't use the service instance.  Instead, copy one of the sample 
files and modify the .phtml file to point to your map file.

Cheers,

Paul
