[ka-Map-users] directory structure

[Pg]

ok for moving kaXmlOverlay wherever in the tree. Sources and examples
will need some minor changes.

In the genal discussion i've another requirement for the new version.
Often I load kaMap in a <div> of a different aplication mapped on the
same server: for example the application home is

  http://www.myserver.it/app1/index.jsp

and kaMap url is:

  http://www.myserver.it/kamap/kaMap.js

Using

  myKaMap.server = '/kamap/';

I can manage quite well the main funcions of kaMap, but there are some
limitation:

1. I have to provide some stuff in /app1/ context:
(transparentpixel.gif, images/a_pixel.gif)

2. I can use basic tools (kaNavigator and kaQuery) but not the tools
that loads images or other resources (legend, keymap, etc.).

Nevertheless I can use the scalebar and the zoomer (with some patch),
so I think is possible to make most tools working in "cross-context".
This requirement is similar to the "cross-site" use case that other
people are discussining, but without the nightmare of browsers
security constraints.

Bye
