[mapserver-users] Create a WMS service in J2EE based on mapserver

[Andrea Peri]

You should create a webapp empty with a web.xml on a WEB-INF folder as
usual.
After this you

in the WEB-INF you create a cgi folder and refer it in the webxml.

name it as example:

"WEB-INF/cgi-folder-for-mapserver"

copy in it the executable "mapserv"

in the web.xml put something like this:


  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>cgi-mapserver</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>debug</param-name>
      <param-value>0</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name>
      <param-value>WEB-INF/cgi-folder-for-mapserver</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>executable</param-name>
      <param-value></param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>passShellEnvironment</param-name>
      <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>cgi-mapserver</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/cgi-or-whatyou-want</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>cgi-mapserver</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/cgi-or-whatyou-want/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

Pay attention to the passShellEnvironment set to true otherwise the
mapserver don't see the environments variables.

The same configuration more or less work for
tinyows (we use also it usually with tomcat )
and for qgis-server (we use it also)
