Using Java with mapserver

[Michael Hass]

I'd be interested to see this posted so that we can try it out on our
project. It brings up another java question, when trying to run Example 5
with the java applet, I get an error that it can't load the applet
mapimage class mapimage. Is this a path problem or do I need the java
code?
Thanks,
