Configuring IIS with Servlet Exec 5.0/6.0 for CS-W connector

If you chose to install the CS-W 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 configure IIS with ServletExec 5.0/6.0 for the CS-W Connector:

  1. Locate the file aimsharvester.war in the <ArcIMS install directory>\ArcIMS\Metadata\CSW\Connector directory. This is the WAR file you will deploy.

 

  1. Click Start > Programs > New Atlanta > ServletExec ISAPI > ServletExec Admin to open ServletExec Admin.

 

  1. In the left sidebar under Web Applications, click Manage.

 

  1. Click Add Web Application.

 

  1. For Application Name, type: aimscsw

 

  1. For URL Context Path, type: /aimscsw

This is the name you will use to run the CS-W connector.

Note: The context path you specify is case sensitive. You might want to create more than one Web Application with path names like AimsCSW or AIMSCSW.

 

  1. For Location, type: <ArcIMS install directory>\ArcIMS\Metadata\CSW\Connector\aimscsw.war

 

  1. Click Submit and close ServletExec Admin.

 

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

 

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

 

  1. In a text editor (such as Notepad), open <ArcIMS install directory>\ArcIMS\Metadata\CSW\Connector\aimsharvester\WEB-INF\classes\csw.properties and edit the following variables:

url=http://WEB_SERVER_HOST_NAME (replace with Web server host name)

appServerMachine=hostname (replace hostname with Application Server machine)

appServerPort=5300 (or connector port)

CSW_SERVICE_URL=http://WEB_SERVER_HOST_NAME/aimscsw/csw2.0 (replace WEB_SERVER_HOST_NAME with hostname of Web server machine)

 

  1. Navigate to the URL: http://hostname/aimscsw/login.jsf to configure your CSW service.

 

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