Ok, I just placed the old demo I had done before back into the tomcat
webapps directory and got it to work. I had to tweak the action
parameter in the demo-init.html file slightly to get it to work.
The program parameter is passed back as a parameter to demo.html from
mapserv.exe and is then used as the action in the form tag.<br><br>
demo.html<br>
------------------------------------<br>
<form method=GET action="[program]"><br><br>
I am also using an older version of Mapserver, version 3.5, but here is
my setup, maybe it can help you determine what is going on.<br><br>
<br><br>
cgi-bin<br>
-----------<br>
c:\bin\apache group\apache\cgi-bin\mapserv.exe<br><br>
tomcat webapps & tmp directory<br>
----------------------------------<br>
c:\bin\jboss-2.4.4_tomcat-3.2.3\tomcat\webapps<br>
c:\bin\jboss-2.4.4_tomcat-3.2.3\tomcat\webapps\tmp<br><br>
Changes to demo_init.html<br>
----------------------------------<br>
<form method=GET
action="http://www.ddive.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe"><br><br>
<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="c:/bin/Mapserver/demo/itasca/demo.map"><br><br>
<input type="hidden" name="layer"
value="lakespy2"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="layer"
value="dlgstln2"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="zoomsize"

<input type="hidden" name="program"

<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"

<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl"
value="/tmp/"><br><br>
<br><br>
Hope this helps.<br><br>

what i can see happening is the following. When I click on the button in

Do you know what exactly mapserv is trying to do at that stage??<br>
Do you know what the 'program' parameter in the demo-init.html
does?? It is set the the actual instance of mapserv.exe but i cannot find
any reference in the docs to this parameter.<br><br>
I have the feeling that I am awfully close to getting this thing to

I did a demo, not sure it was the Itasca stuff, and it worked, but it has
been a while ago. Maybe I should add that I use Apache as my web
server and JBoss with embedded Tomcat. Are you having a specific
issue with tomcat and Mapserver?<br><br>
