Hi everyone, Well I've been working on Mapserver for a couple of weeks now. Now I was supposed to checkout Geoserver too.. I was wondering if anyone who has worked on both of
them could help me figure out with a point or two as of how mapserver is superior to Geoserver... I've got a few points gathered. -=- Plz fill me in with any thing that comes to your mind. I really wanna the differences , be it the basic things, simplicity or complexity or whatever.............. Thanks, Mapserver && Geoserver *1. *MapServer is generally better when dealing with WMS, while GeoServer deals better with WFS. *2*. A big difference is that GeoServer supports WFS-T, that it Transactional WFS (editing of feature services on the client side), while MapServer don’t. *3*. Mapserver works with CGI, GeoSever with J2EE. That may entail some advantage to GeoServer, since some companies don’t want to work with CGI. *4*. MapServer is a more mature project (1996), while GeoServer is a bit more recent (2003). *5*. GeoServer has a web tool administration that eases configuration. *6*. MapServer has without any doubt a very powerful cartography system, providing data under dynamic vectors with high quality *7*. None of them is better or worse. The development objectives are different. *8.* PHP Mapscript for Mapserver, which provides a powerful scripting interface for PHP programmers. For Java programmers, Geoserver might be a better choice
