Java Edition The Java edition works with certain combinations of both browsers on Windows, Mac OS, and Solaris (see previous table). It is accessible from JScript, JavaScript, and Java. Internet Explorer 4.01 (for Windows 98/95/NT/2000 and Mac OS 8.0 using MRJ 2.1) exposes the Java edition API through a combination of the Java bean and ActiveX/COM/Automation technology. Netscape Communicator 4.5 (for Windows 98/95/NT/2000 and Solaris 2.6) exposes the Java edition API through a combination of Java introspection and LiveConnect technology. The API classes are defined in the com.autodesk.mgjava package, which is typically contained in the mgjavabean.exe file. All configurations expose the Java edition API to other Java code if it has been compiled to directly instantiate MGMapApplet or MGMapComponent. For more information, see "Implementing the Java Edition" in the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer API Help. Autodesk MapGuide LiteView Extension Autodesk MapGuide LiteView Extension is a Java program that runs on the server side (a servlet). It converts an MWF file into a PNG image and returns it as an HTTP response to a request. It extends the capabilities of Autodesk MapGuide to quickly display maps as raster images in Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, or any other browser that supports the PNG image format. Application users do not have to download a plug-in to display the maps. Third-party integrators can create a custom Autodesk MapGuide LiteView Extension viewer, using the sample application provided with the servlet as an example. For more information, see the Autodesk MapGuide LiteView Extension documentation. 62 | Chapter 3 Designing Your System
