Do I need Mapfish Server

[Mika Lehtonen]

Hi,
I should write an application where users will answer to some questions
and the overall result is shown in a map. I thought I would use AJAX to
send the answers to the database (PostgreSQL). I will then join that
table to some other table(s) which will include some geometries and
publish it through Geoserver.
But do I need Mapfish Server? Or am I good with some simple server
script which will do the database writing?

Hi. If you can live with a database view (joining your tables) then
you don't strictly need to code specific web services using MapFish,
using GeoServer and WFS with this view should work for you. If you
need maximum flexibility in the development of your web services (and
do the join dynamically for example) use MapFish.

Cheers,
