[Mapserver-users] arcims emulation and arcexplorer

[Howard Mark]

Sean,

Great - that methodology makes sense.
I see your emulator is Perl (ish?). I'm going to talk to my supervisor about
distributing our JAVA version for the "Perl impaired" .
Mine works in a very similar manner as yours excepting the configuration.
There is a master catalog XML file that is simply fed back on a catalog
request.
Each service has it's own file that is fed back on a serviceinfo request.

These files are maintained by the administrator (of course).
I'm just getting aroud to setting up a config file that would allow the user
to specify:

The WMS server URL for each service
The local physical image location
The virtual image location 
.......

It would be great if we could collaborate on this - so our configurations
match.
What do you think about this idea?
BTW - are you still at I3? I worked last week with Randy setting up their
ArcIMS -> WMS connector using our JAVA version!

Small world.

Mark

Yeah, this is exactly what I did as well.  No packet sniffing
required.
