Jose,
I understand your frustration having gone through this not so long ago
myself. Be sure to read all the previous threads on the subject as well.
OK, from what I understand, there are a few things to check and pardon me
if I am too verbose or do not have enough information on "why" these items
are necessary. I am assuming you are using tomcat on some sort of U/Linux
platform.
1) The java class that loads the mapscript library or the jar file that
includes the class that loads the library must be in the
<tomcat-root>/common/lib directory.
for example: the jar file I is use - dswllc-mapscript.jar - that has the
JavaMapscript.class (which is shown below and loads the mapscript library)
is located in my <tomcat-root>/common/lib directory
2) As stated in previous threads, you *cannot* have the java class that
loads the mapscript library in the <web-app-root>/WEB-INF/classes
directory. And you cannot have a jar file that includes the class that
loads the library in the <web-app-root>/WEB-INF/lib directory.
for example: I could not place the above mentioned files in my
<web-app-root>/WEB-INF/lib or <web-app-root>/WEB-INF/classes directories or
I would get the "Library already loaded" error.
3) The mapscript.jar file created when compiling the java mapscript for
Mapserver can also be in the <tomcat-root>/common/lib directory (if you
want it available to all web apps under Tomcat), or in your
<web-app-root>/WEB-INF/lib directory. This is the jar file created when
you run make in the <mapserver-src-root>/mapscript/java
directory. Essentially once you run make in the
<mapserver-src-root>/mapscript/java directory your should copy the
mapscript.jar file to the <tomcat-root>/common/lib or your
<web-app-root>/WEB-INF/lib directory and the libmapscript.so file to a
location the system knows to look for libraries - such as /usr/local/lib
for example: In my configuration I copy the mapscript.jar file to my
<tomcat-root>/common/lib directory and my libmapscript.so file to
/usr/local/lib/special
4) You should set your environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the include
the path the to libmapscript.so and/or edit your /etc/lib.so.conf file to
include the path to the llibmapscript.so file - or just place it in a
directory the system already knows to look for libraries - such as
/usr/local/lib
Hope that helps.
