Installing Java MapScript on Windows

[Ajay Ranipeta]

Hi Bas,

Did you try the comment part at the
http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/java_mapscript_Tomcat_55 webpage? Follow
that, and you should be set.

Basically, make sure the files are under the C:\mapserver, make sure the
folder is part of the System Environment path, and you should be ok.

cheers,
Ajay
