[mapguide-users] Making MapGuide JSP to work with IIS (the missing link -- almost there!)

[inspiron2]

Further to my last post asking for help:

I spotted an error in the uriworker.properties file. I wasn't putting in an
"=" sign in between the alias and worker. I fixed that, and that made the
JSP's work. But, the map etc still doesn't function. I don't even get a
skeleton page. Error messages indicate that all MapGuide related references
could not be resolved while compilting JAVA files.

>From previous experience of working with JSP's, such errors may indicate
that class_path available to MapGuide JSP's can't resolve MapGuide related
declares. But how do I fix that. 

The only difference between this non-working version and the working version
is that the working one is called through Apache, and the non-working one is
being called from IIS 6. All files etc are EXACTLY the same (i.e. the same
files, not just copies of same files).

thx
