MapServer Java?

[Norman Barker]

Hi,

There have been a few replies to this thread, but if you use a servlet
then I find using the init method quite helpful

    public void init() throws ServletException {
        super.init();
        ServletConfig config = getServletConfig();
        mapfile = config.getInitParameter("mapfile");
    }

And in web.xml

<init-param>
	<param-name>mapfile</param-name>
	<param-value>/var/www/html/demo/bluemarble.map</param-value>
</init-param>

Just allows you to change the mapfile whenever you want and not have to
recompile.

You could also use a jsp (which in fact is a special type of servlet).
The tutorial from Sun's java site will help you to get started with
both of them (and much more):

Good luck,
