Hi,<br><br>I need the ability to be able to display ECW and JPEG2000 format files
within MapServer via a Community Mapbuilder client which sends WMS requests for the images to MapServer. My
current architecture is PostGreSQL database connected to PostGIS which
connects to GeoServer on Apache Tomcat and Community Mapbuilder client
which sends WMS requests for the images to GeoServer. I would like to
be able to send similar requests to MapServer for compressed Raster data but instead of going to
PostGIS I would like to connect to the ECW (which are compressed Raster) files and JPEG2000 files.<br>Since I have never installed or used MapServer before I would appreciate it if someone could give my a high level overview of what I would need to do as far as:
<br><br>1.) What should I download for a windows server if all I want to do is display ECW and JPEG2000 files via WMS? <br>2.) What configuration is necessary on the server in order to display via WMS for ECW and JPEG2000 files and what location should I place these files?
<br>3.) What is the format for both a GetMap and GetCapabilities request on the client side which in my case is Community Mapbuilder.<br><br>Thanks,<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>John J. Mitchell
