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.
It's not a very good idea to copy the dll files to a system folder,
since it might break things... The best thing to do would be to add the
folder with the dll files to the PATH environment variable and tomcat
library path. (-Djava.library.path)
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.
If you put the mapscript.jar into your project's WEB-INF/lib directory,
you'll only be able to have one webapp inside tomcat using mapscript. If
you want to have more than one webapp using mapscript, you should put
mapscript.jar into the tomcat's shared/lib directory.
I recommend you take a look in this documentation:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/java_mapscript_Tomcat_55
Vitor.
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\).

What I am essentially looking for is a fully compiled distribution

mapserver source code, I would like to download a fully compiled
package with support for all the programming languages (in
particular Java mapscript) and all the essential supporting
libraries for full functionality plus wms 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.
