Configuring WFS connector for IIS with Tomcat

If you chose to install the WFS connector and you completed the Web server-servlet engine configuration in the post installation setup, these manual steps will have automatically been completed for you.

 

IMPORTANT: For supported versions of Web server-servlet engines, visit http://support.esri.com, select software > ArcIMS > System Requirements

 

Follow these steps to manually configure IIS with Tomcat for the WFS Connector:

  1. Locate the file wfsconnector.war in the <ArcIMS install directory>\ArcIMS\Connectors\wfs_connector directory. This is the WAR file you will deploy.

 

  1. Copy the file wfsconnector.war from the <ArcIMS install directory>\ArcIMS\connectors\wfs_connector directory to <Tomcat installation location>\webapps.

 

  1. The war file will deploy itself into a folder called "wfsconnector". If the folder is not created, stop and start the Tomcat service and check again.

 

  1. In a text editor (such as Notepad), open the uriworkermap.properties file located at <Tomcat Installation Directory>\conf.

 

  1. Add the following lines:

# Mount the WFS connector

/wfsconnector/*=wlb

/wfsconnector=wlb

 

  1. Save and close the file.

 

  1. On Windows 2000, 2003, and XP, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

 

  1.  Stop and Start IIS Admin Service, World Wide Web Publishing Service, and Apache Tomcat, and close the Services window.

 

  1. Ensure that a folder appears in the webapps directory called “wfsconnector”.

 

When you deploy the WAR file, the servlet engine expands the WAR file. The default location is <servlet install directory>\webapps\wfsconnector.

 

To complete configuration of the WFS connector, you must verify that the connector was successfully installed.
