Ahhh, another ArcIMS headache in the making.

I've found that it's easier to just lie to the installer and then delete 
whatever it installs for the connector.  Then go to the 
ArcIMS\connectors\servlet directory and copy the 
arcimsServletConnector.war file to the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory and 
let Tomcat autodeply the connector for you.  You can do the same for the 
ArcIMS Administrator, they also supply the administrator in a war file for 
you.  It's called esriadmin.war.  Just put it in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps 
directory.  You will have to make the jkmount statements or the mod_jk2 
uri statements.  One called arcimsServletConnector and another for 
esriadmin

Only problem is the ESRI supplied diagnostic routine will not function. It 
has hard coded paths and was made with the assumption that you have loaded 
everything to the ROOT of Tomcat.  You can still do the diagnostics, you 
just have to use your browser and call the function directly.  The 
following assumes you are installing your web server to localhost, change 
it to suit your installation.

http://localhost/arcimsServletConnector/servlet/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?CMD=connectorping
http://localhost/arcimsServletConnector/servlet/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?CMD=appserverping

Following the above procedure is more in line with the spec and lets you 
use your Tomcat installation for more than just ArcIMS. 

Here is a "How To" for a window 2000 installation for apache, tomcat, 
mod_jk2, arcims4, jsdk1.4.1. At the end of the ArcIMS section is a section 
called new that outlines the above steps.  The main guide try's to follow 
as close as possible ESRI's instructions. 
ftp://pokey.wr.usgs.gov/pub/rsowders/ArcIMS4_Apache2_JK2_TC4.1.x_JDK1.4.x.zip

The ArcIMS section at least is generic to your platform just change the 
paths you select, keep in mind that if you put the output and website 
directories in the DocumentRoot of the webserver then you don't have to do 
any aliases for them.

        Subject:        Servlet directory?

Hi I'm trying to some software called ArcIMS.

It asks for "the webservers servlet directory" and in the readme it gives
some examples:

=== Cut ===
Installing ArcIMS Servlet Connector

The ArcIMS Servlet Connector directory, \com, must be copied to your Web
server's servlet directory in order to establish communication between 
your
Web server and the ArcIMS Application Server.

The following is a list of common Web servers and their servlet 
directories.
Apache 1.3.20 and Jakarta Tomcat 3.2

<drive>:\<TOMCAT_HOME>\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
=== Cut ===

I'm however using Tomcat 4.1.12, where is the directory then?

Thanks.
