I need the ability to be able to display ECW and JPEG2000 format files within MapServer via a Community Mapbuilder client which sends WMS requests for the images to MapServer

John,

You would include MAP=C:\yourmap.map in the url.  So a request might end up
looking like:

http://maps.gdal.org/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=C:\yourmap.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
