Re: [mapguide-users] Maintaining MapGuide Session during Restart
Perhaps you can create a package from a Session repo? You will run into two problems if you try to copy from Session to Library, 1) Session repo is not enumerable (a security feature, IMO useless) 2) Runtime Maps cannot be saved into Library. Both problems can be solved by doing a custom build of MapGuide, and removing the checks. I seem to recal that the Session repo can be enumerated by the Administrator. You can't make a 100% xml copy, because the xml has attached resourcesm which are binary files.

Re: [mapguide-users] Maintaining MapGuide Session during Restart
Hmmm. Creating a package from a session may well the be the way forward. I will look at doing this programatically and report back to the board on my progress! thanks for all your help so far people!

RE: [mapguide-users] Maintaining MapGuide Session during Restart
Bruce, You can keep move some of the session data to the library - ie: resources that you have created in the session. What you are asking is for the session state information to be maintained - that information cannot be replicated in the library. I'm not a web developer, but what about using cookies with your custom web application to reestablish the MapGuide session how it was last left. Perhaps someone with experience with this could chime in.
