Hi! I have finally managed to display my WFS example in the map! It is not so obvious to set up the proxy host in Tomcat! I would like to share with you all the steps I followed, in case that someone need it:
1.- I modified the file: "web.xml" C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\web.xml. I uncomented the following lines of code: <servlet> <servlet-name>cgi</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</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> You have also to add this piece of code: <param-name>executable</param-name> <param-value>c:\python25\python.exe</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>passShellEnvironment</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> 2.- I renamed the file servlets-cgi.renametojar to servlets-cgi.jar under the folder: C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\server\lib 3.- I downloaded the "proxy.cgi" file from Openlayers: http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/trunk/openlayers/examples/proxy.cgi and copy the file in a folder called "cgi-bin" that I created under my directory: "C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\client\WEB-INF\cgi\proxy.cgi" 4.- In the proxy.cgi file I included my machine in the allowed hosts: allowedHosts = ['demo.mapfish.org', 'localhost:5000', 'localhost', '127.0.0.1'] 5.- I included this piece of code in my map: OpenLayers.ProxyHost = "/client/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url="; 6.- I also included in our client folder the context.xml file: C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\client\META-INF\context.xml Make sure that the privileged is set to: "true": <Context privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false" /> 7.- Restart Tomcat.
