mapserver java servlets

[Dan Barron]

Jose,

Here's what works well for me and can be used in a servlet or any jsp file
- courtesy of Umberto btw.

1) >> file JavaMpascript.java <<

package mapserver.java.mapscript;

/**

public class JavaMapscript {

     private static JavaMapscript instance = null;

     private JavaMapscript() {
         try {
             System.loadLibrary("mapscript");
         } catch (Exception e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
             System.err.println("* error loading native library *");
             System.err.println("Error is: "+e);
         }
         System.out.println(" * mapscript native library loaded *");
     }

     public static JavaMapscript getInstance() {
         if ( instance == null ) {
             instance = new JavaMapscript();
         }
         return instance;
     }
}

2) >> Make an instance of this class somewhere else.

   mapserver.java.mapscript.JavaMapscript.getInstance();

Your library will only be loaded once, at least that is how it behaves for
me and has been reliable so far.
