Deploying Your Application
MapXtreme v7.1 57 Developer Guide
Deploying Applications that Access Data
Any Visual Basic or Visual C# application that includes data access has a dependency on Microsoft
Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.7 or later. MDAC must be installed on a target
computer prior to installing your application or the application will fail.
MapXtreme Web Applications Behind Proxy Servers
If you are deploying your web application behind a proxy server, be sure to add the MapXtreme
Server URL to the proxy server’s bypass cache list. This will allow MapXtreme to deliver dynamic
maps for every request, which it is designed to do.
Proxy servers rely on cached images for display. MapXtreme’s images, however, are built for every
request, so in the case of the web application located behind the proxy server, no images are sent to
the cache. The web application displays a red X in place of the map image.
Permissions to Temp Directory for Deployed Web Applications
For deployed web applications, if you are using integrated security, ensure all users who will access
the site have permissions on the temp directory and any other resources. MapXtreme executes in
the ASP.NET process space and this process executes with the security token passed from the IIS
process. You must grant access to any user who will log in access to this directory. If you are using
anonymous access then you must grant access to the temp directory to the
IUSR_LocalMachineName system account. MapXtreme gets the temp directory from the current
TEMP environment setting.
Application Data Files
Application data files are nonexecutable files used by an application. MapXtreme installs and uses
the following set of application data files. For information about customizing these file locations, see
