I downloaded MS4W before but I noticed that there was a lot of unneeded
programs included as well as an Apache server which was of no use to me. I
never explored the cgi-bin directory. After reading your reply and looking
in the cgi-bin directory, I found exactly what I needed.
I basically copied all of mapserver's dependent libraries (and I'm sure some
other unneeded dll files) from the cgi-bin directory into a system folder.
I made sure that Tomcat added this system folder to its library path so that
mapscript/mapserver could find the .dll files when needed. I then copied
the mapscript.jar file found in cgi-bin/mapscript/java into my project's
WEB-INF/lib directory. Because Tomcat is sometimes flimsy, it would be a
good idea to manually copy the mapscript.jar file to your project's
WEB-INF/lib directory within Tomcat and not depend upon deployment
necessarily doing the job correctly.
Well, not a very detailed write-up but due to time constraints it is the
best that I can do. Maybe someone can take this write-up and make it more
detailed and formal. If no one can, I can probably write it up at a later
date. By the way, I am using MyEclipse for my mapserver project
development.
Thanks, Jeff.

Um, isn't that what MS4W is?
I think the only thing it is missing for you would be a java servlet right?
Tomcat or something? You can definitely start with MS4W and add
configure that for your servlet...but I am no java guy so I am no precise
help.
If you do decide to use MS4W, maybe you could document your work and
possibly contribute a java section to the readme for MS4W? (meaning what
it took you to use the files in \ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\mapscript\java\).

support for all the programming languages (in particular Java mapscript)

support without the hassle. Am I asking for too much? :-)

Hi,
How about Mapserver included in the FW Tools set, could it be something
close to what you are searching for?

Is there an easy way to get mapserver and all its supporting libraries in
an
already compiled package with nothing else included? I am having a
headache
trying to compile the source code. Thanks.
