And sorry for not being clear, actually i want a GIS which is web based as many clients would be acting on it at the same time, we being on server side, as a desktop GIS does not has this feature. So I would like for suggestions on that, Geomajas is a good option, but still open for suggestions. In general, there are a couple things you can do. 1. For a full WebGIS solution, it seems like Geomajas is the primary option. It comes set up with GIS functionality out of the box, and many people seem to be using it this way successfully. 2. If what you're most interested in is a UI for managing a bunch of GIS data, what you may be interested in may actually be something like Mapbender, which is a geospatial data portal. 3. If you want to 'roll your own' -- for example, if you only need a limited set of functionality -- then OpenLayers+GeoExt+MapFish provide a set of reasonable tools to work with to create your own. There are a number of service providers -- like OpenGeo, Camptocamp -- who can provide development services support to help you implement a solution in this vein. Another option that I know less about is GeoMoose. A third option I also know less about is MapGuide's 'Fusion' toolkit. GeoMoose is generally tied relatively closely to MapServer, I believe, though I could be wrong on that. MapGuide Fusion is tied relatively closely to MapGuide; at one point there was some work on extending it to also talk to MapServer, though I don't know how far that went. OpenGeo may also have some aspect of the GeoServer toolkit that fulfills this need, but nothing comes to mind off the top of my head. I believe something like OpenGeo's GeoNode is actually a 'competitor' of sorts to something like Mapbender, a combination of catalog services and tools to manage and browse them. If I have misspoken about any of the projects described here, please let me know.

I think all you need is the Geomajas project. It is a framework for creating web based applications - all in Java (using GWT on the client).

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Best GIS with below listed requirements
Mayank, I'm a bit confused. Do you want to run a desktop gis through a web interface, or be able to perform some GIS functions similar to a desktop gis through a web interface ? It sounds like you want to be able to run a specific GIS software remotely as a thin client, but though a web interface. I believe that you can accomplish remote access via Citrix through a web interface. The upcoming NX 4.0 software should also offer this web based thin client access. You can thin client into windows computers via rdesktop ( available on most linux distributions) or via the NX client, http://www.nomachine.com/documents.php. You can also set up one of the various flavors of VNC services on windows or linux. you can alos set up NXserver on linux and access it from Windows, Mac, or Linux. ( Supposedly there is a version of nxserver for windows in the works) . If you are going linux to linux, you can use ssh with X forwarding on and have the program execute remotely but display locally. If you want to make a web interface look and act like a desktop gis with access to all of the commands in say, GRASS, then I think you've got a fair bit of web programming ahead of you.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Best GIS with below listed requirements
From a lurker: What's unclear - to me, at least - is whether or not the user interface is to be via standard web browser. (An application cd be considered 'web-based' with or without such.)

Mayank, You can use php to call GRASS, postgis, gdal, etc. to do all you ask. See http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_and_PHP Example. http://www.gapserve.ncsu.edu/prgap/prgap/.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Best GIS with below listed requirements
What do you mean about web based GIS? QGIS, gvSig, and uDig can act as client to Web Map Servers. 'QGIS, gvSig, and uDig are all open source desktop GIS's that can connect to web services. uDig is currently the most advanced on that front, connecting to WMS and WFS, as well as allowing editing through WFS-T. gvSig has WMS, and should have WFS support in their next release, and QGIS supposedly has partially implemented WMS. Each offers various strengths and weaknesses. Our favorite is uDig, though we're biased, since it's built on the same great GeoTools toolkit that GeoServer is. http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Clients Noli On 9/9/10, mayank_agarwal mayank_agar...@persistent.co.in wrote: Thanks a lot Doug, But will it help Desktop GIS to act as a web based GIS? -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Best-GIS-with-below-listed-requirements-tp5513454p5514164.html Sent from the OSGeo Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
