I just received a question regarding the communciation between MapFish client and MapFish server. As I gave an answer in french, here is one in english
MapFish provides a MapSearcher class for querying a map. I will use this sample to describe it’s usage (source code can be accessed here).

Let’s try to see how it works: the information function “i” located in the toolbar lets the user select some features and show them in a grid.

On the server side, it is needed to have an implemation of the MapFish protocol which will interact with the database. See the summits.py code.

On the client side (all the code can be found in search.html) you need:

1. to use the MapFish protocol with “protocol = mapfish.Protocol.decorateProtocol({…“
2. to create a Map searcher: “var mapSearcher = new mapfish.Searcher.Map({…” which will use the protocol
3. to add the “i” button in the toolbar: “toolbar.addControl(mapSearcher, {…“
4. to create a grid “new Ext.grid.GridPanel({…”, a store “var store = new Ext.data.Store({…” and a store mediator “var searchStoreMediator = new mapfish.widgets.data.SearchStoreMediator({…” to show the result provided by the MapFish protocol in a grid.

MapFish has been used as cartographic component for the prototype of GeoReport. You can find more information here and the installation notes are here
