My understanding is (don't have any of these ESRI goodies yet) that an xml call is made to arcIMS giving extant and layers etc.
The image returned can then be inserted as a static image on any web page. The CMS has been designed to store a reference to extants and layers. So CF should be able to put a static map image on any page.

The CMS will call and insert the maps into the CMS pages both cf and flash. Well thats the idea. i can't see how. backend is still backend, nothing to do w/the user GUI. a flash or html frontend still has to call the arcIMS server for the server to generate an image. unless you're confusing the java client w/the java connector? the java client is a true GIS client, ie it gets the raw data from the server & does stuff with it locally. the java connector is just that, a connector, like the cfx or asp connectors to arcIMS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185629 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
