Summary:WebGIS is the inevitable trend of GIS with the development of network technology. Unlike normal Web applications, WebGIS has the characteristics of calculation of mass data and long processing time. Therefore, the popular Web development technologies may not be suitable to develop WebGIS. In order to adapt the characteristics of WebGIS, this article compares and analyzes merits and faults among the popular WebGIS constructing patterns based on server side, then proposes WebGIS constructing pattern based on FastCGI multiprocess. This pattern takes full advantage of language-independent nature, multi-processing and distributed cluster to solve the WebGIS requirements of calculation of mass data and long processing time.
