I keep getting more requests for the code, so I’m just going to put it up here. I sent the code out to a bunch of people over the weekend, and I thought I should put the same disclosure here…
As I said in the posting – this is really hacked up, pure “can it work” research code – it’s based on Rob Blackwell’s VE WMS Tile Server sample, with some “create a map” stuff from the AGS SOAP documentation added, and a few lines of projection stuff smashed in.
Known Issues:
Currently the projection is not exactly right, the caching stuff is just plain ugly, and requires that ASPNET (or whatever identity you run the handler as) have write access to the hard coded path. All the tiles are stored in the same folder, which clearly won’t scale. The Handler matches *.png, which means you need to map that extension to the aspnet_isapi.dll for the web application you drop this into. The SOAP end point is poorly named. And there are no comments of any use.
So – I think that about covers it – you have been warned! That said have fun with it, and let me know how it goes.
