[worldKit-dev] (no subject)

[Bruce Thomas]

Anything else? The worldKit is a unique and remarkable flash app, with many
possible configurations.

Does it scale? This depends upon the application and configuration of
course. IMHO, extremely large scale worldKit deployment is possible with
dynamic generation of its files: the HTML page with embedded worldKit, XML
configuration file, GeoRSS feeds, JPEG images from Web Map Services (WMS)
like ArcIMS with Tomcat or the MapServer project from U of MN, supported by
a backend database-based application development platform (like Ruby on
Rails). The degree of scale possible is only limited by the ability to
implement and deploy all these parts. The key is how worldKit uses
geographic coordinates, and the ability to geo-reference the images that it
displays.

Input mode control: Try a combination of <inputonly>, <locupdate>, and/or
the <annotateurl> set to a JavaScript function in the configuration. Have
the JavaScript call another function if you want to save the input. Another
simple idea would have two separate (but almost duplicate) HTML pages with
two different configutation files, one with <inputonly> True, the other
False. A button on both pages would switch between the two versions of the
same page.
