You can also write a stand-alone C++, Visual Basic, or Java application that hosts Autodesk MapGuide Viewer without a Web browser. For details about supported platforms, see "Choosing a Viewer/Browser Environment" on page 63. LiteView LiteView serves maps in a raster format, with limited interactivity, so that users are not required to install Autodesk MapGuide Viewer. For more information, refer to the LiteView documentation. Map Serving Products Help Index Web server This section describes the software components that process and serve data to the map. Web Server A Web server is an application that runs on a host computer. In response to requests from other computers, the Web server software processes and sends various types of files, such as Web pages and Map Window Files (MWFs). When a user requests map data, that request is received by the Web server and passed to Autodesk MapGuide Server. For information about the type of Web servers Autodesk MapGuide supports, see "Autodesk MapGuide Server Requirements" on page 16. Autodesk MapGuide Server Autodesk MapGuide Server serves map data in response to requests from Autodesk MapGuide Author and Autodesk MapGuide Viewer when a user is displaying a map in those programs. When a request is made, Autodesk MapGuide Server reads the request to determine which data to provide, and then sends the data from the spatial data source, raster image file, Autodesk DWG data source, or OLE DB data source according to the specifications made in the request. Autodesk MapGuide Server allows you to control access to the data sources by checking for passwords, user IDs, and other optional settings you specify. Autodesk MapGuide Server consists of three components: MapAgent, Server Service, and Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin. 36 | Chapter 2 Understanding Autodesk MapGuide
