Prerequisite

This document describes how maps created for a portal page can be called with parameterized URLs. The prerequisite is that a portal page exists that contains maps.

Maps are organized within a portal page into map collections. Each map has a name and is assigned to a category:

../../../_images/image11.png

Calling a Map and URL Components

A map is always called via the following URL structure:

https://{Host}/{Portal-Application}/{Portal-Page}/{Category}/{Map-Name}

Explanation of the URL Components

Component

Description

Host

The server on which the portal application is installed.

Portal-Application

The name of the portal application in IIS.

Portal-Page

The URL of the portal page, as defined by the subscriber/creator.

Category

The category in which the map is located.

Map-Name

The name of the map.

Caution

If the map name or the category contains special characters, these must be encoded for display in the URL. Spaces can be specified either with %20 or – for better readability – with a tilde (~), e.g.: Planning~and~Cadastre.

Example Call of a Base Map

To call the base map directly, the URL is:

https://{host}/{portal-application}/{portal-page}/Allgemein/Basiskarte
