Kenneth, you're 100% right about this - I tried to give it a run with a
custom viewer but also gave up :-) somewhere in the middle since good server
push implementation is sooo specific.
Also, thank you for sharing this JavaScript example. I'm currently using
similar approach, but alas, ASP.NET
I don't think that it is the MG libraries that lack the "push", it is
the HTTP protocol/Web browser that is not well suited for this.
There are ways to perform a server push, but it is uncommon, so examples
can be hard to find.
The problem would be getting the viewer to respond to such pushes.
Just one more thing to add... :-) I don't understand why MG libraries lack
that "push" functionality. If there's a session established, then there's a
way to influence the representation of a map as user sees it - refreshing,
panning, zooming, all sorts of pre and post-processing... using existing
Seems that turning to JavaScript is unavoidable at the moment :-) But it
would be nice to have this possibility of map/layer refreshing from the
server side, too. Here's why...
I created couple of web services (currently on SOAP) talking through my dll
on server side with MG libraries. Depending
It sounds as if you want to do a "server push" rather than the more
common "client pull".
I'm not sure that it is easily accomplished, but since the AJAX viewer
contains a lot of JS code, I don't see any problems in an extra refresh
call.

I'm writing some server app that imposes occasional changes to certain
