WMS

To configure ArcIMS with WMS, perform the following:

1. In a text editor, open the WMSEsrimap_prop file in the location of your Servlets directory where the Servlet Connector is installed (see the Web server-servlet engine post installation option, Provide information about your Web server-servlet engine combination)

For example

Apache with ServletExec: \Program Files\New Atlanta\ServletExec AS\se-<instance-name>\Servlets

Apache with Tomcat: \<Tomcat Installation Directory>\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes

IBM HTTP Server with WebSphere: \WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps\servlet.ear\arcimsservletconnector.war\WEB-INF\classes

Sun Java System (formerly Sun ONE): \<Sun Java system installation location>\Servers\docs\servlet

Microsoft IIS with JRun: \Program Files\Allaire\Jrun\servlets

Microsoft IIS with ServletExec: \Program Files\New Atlanta\ServletExec ISAPI\Servlets

Microsoft IIS with Tomcat: \<Tomcat Installation Directory>\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes

Oracle Application Server: \Oracle\isuites\Apache\Jserv\servlets

WebLogic: \bea\wlserver6.1\config\mydomain\applications\DefaultWebApp\WEB-INF\classes

Note: If the file is not there, see Step 4: Configure your Web server.

2. Find enable and change it to enable=true.

3. Find appServerMachine and verify that it is set to the name of the computer where the ArcIMS Application Server is installed.

4. Find appServerClientPort and verify that it is set to the name of the port on which the Application Server is running (default is 5300.

5. Find capabilitiesDir and provide the path to the capabilities directory, for example, capabilitiesDir=c:/ArcIMS/capabilities.

6. Find debug and set it to debug=true if you want detailed debug information. If you set it to true, the log file will be created inside the working directory.

7. Find workingDirectory and provide the path to the working directory, for example, workingDirectory=c:/ArcIMS/workingdir.

8. Find reaspect and set it to true if you want to re-aspect the generated map images.

9. Find defaultService and set it to a default ArcIMS Service name. If the WMS client doesn’t specify the Service, then this default Service will be used.

10. Save and close the file.

11. On Windows NT, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services; on Windows 2000, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Component Services and click Services on the Tree tab; on Windows XP, choose Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Component Services and click Services on the Tree tab.

12. Stop and Start your Web server.

13. To test that WMS is installed and working, open your browser and type:

http://<localhost>/servlet/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?Cmd=ping

Note: If your Web server port is not set to the default port (port 80), then type the following:

http://<localhost>:<port#>/servlet/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?Cmd=ping

The following should display: ArcIMS WMS-OGC Connector Version 4.0
