WMS Connector

If you chose to install the WMS connector and you completed the Web server-servlet engine configuration in the post installation setup, step 1 below will have automatically been completed for you. However, if you chose to install the WMS connector and you did not complete the post installation setup, you must manually configure your Web server and servlet engine. To manually configure your Web server and servlet engine, follow these steps:

 

The WMS connector setup feature will install a WAR file named wmsconnector.war in the following location: <ArcIMS installation directory>\ArcIMS\Connectors\wms_connector

 

  1. Deploy the wmsconnector.war file

After installing the WMS connector, you must deploy the WMS Connector WAR file. The steps to deploy the WAR file depend on your Web server and servlet engine. IMPORTANT: For supported versions of Web server-servlet engines, visit http://support.esri.com, select software > ArcIMS > System Requirements

Select your Web server and servlet engine for instructions on deploying the WMS connector:

 

Apache with Tomcat

IIS with ServletExec 5.0/6.0

IIS with Tomcat

Oracle Application Server 10g R3 (10.1.3.3)

Sun Java System (Sun ONE) Application Server 9

WebLogic 9.2

Websphere 6.0 with IBM HTTP Server

 

 

 

  1. Verify that the WMS connector is installed

After deploying the WMS connector into your Web server and servlet engine environment, type the following URL in a Web browser to verify that it has been installed correctly.

 

http://<hostname>/<deploy_name>/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?cmd=connectorPing

 

where

<hostname> is the URL domain name for your site such as www.esri.com or localhost.

<deploy_name> is the name you assigned when you deployed the WMS Connector. The recommended deployment name is "wmsconnector".

 

For more information on the URL and the connectorPing command, see the WMS connector documentation.

 

After you have verified the WMS Connector is communicating properly, you can start administering the WMS connector. For more information on administering the WMS connector see the WMS connector documentation.
