Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise is a different product, providing a powerful new architecture, different programming language support and viewing options, improved data access methods, and broader platform support. Notable technical differences include the following: • The server component of Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise runs on Linux as well as Windows. (Autodesk MapGuide Server runs only on Windows.) • Applications are written using PHP, ASP.NET, or Java using a new API on the web tier instead of script code that calls the Autodesk MapGuide ActiveX control API on the client tier. • Viewing of Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise applications is provided by a DWF-based viewer or an AJAX viewer that renders raster-based maps. • Feature geometry in Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise is sent using a DWF-compatible format instead of CGM (computer graphics metafile). • Use of new Feature Data Object (FDO) technology provides access to a wide and expanding set of spatial and tabular data sources.
