User Interaction

These Desktop Compatibility Platforms consist of all the Models, Event Handler Mechanism, Mappers, DTOs, Error Handling, Server Commands and Observable Wrappers needed for each technology. Each DCP is pluggable so different desktop layers can be supported by the same WebMAP Core Services layer. At the moment just the Windows Forms platform is supported, and the Power Build being under construction.

• Modal Dialog: The WebMAP Core Services provide a mechanism that allows for the server to stop the execution of a request and wait for a response from the user and then continue with the execution of the previous request.

• Logging: An extensible logging mechanism is provided by WebMAP. This eases the debugging process, allowing to easily pinpoint a problem.
