[OSGeo-Discuss] "Free"

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

I guess the answer to my question is in their FAQ:

10. Is it possible to deploy MapViewer on a 3rd party application server 
such
as JBoss?
This is not supported or recommended. However users have successfully
deployed the mapviewer.ear file downloaded from OTN into a 3rd party J2EE
compliant container, such as JBoss. You will need the Oracle JDBC driver
(classes12.jar or ojdbc14.jar) and Oracle XML parser (xmlparserv2.jar) 
in the
J2EE container's library path. The latest versions of both should work.
Note that for WebLogic, it appears that you must manually unpack the
mapviewer.ear file and then deploy from the unpacked directory. If you 
deploy
from the mapviewer.ear to WebLogic MapViewer will not initialize properly.

Best regards,
Bart
