[Gistoolkit-editor] gistoolkit and DB2 spatial extender

[<it...@at...>]

Hi, and welcome to the GISToolkit lists.  We are
still developing the GISToolkit, and are working
on an Oracle connector at the moment.  The DB2
Spatial extender Data source is operational and
well tested.  It works with Jdk 1.2.0 and above,
so there should be no trouble working with 1.4.

I just noticed the other day that the GISToolkit
Server sends HTML to the client that requests the
specific version of Java.  I did this because of
problems with compatibility and the JDK 1.1 that
exists on most Windows machines.  This can be
easilly changed to a different version by editing
one of the class files.

gistoolkit.server.mapservice.clientextender.ClientExtender

But you can use the htmlclient just as easilly.
This will not require a jdk version.

If you are having trouble with the CVS archives,
the source code for the GISToolkit can be
downloaded in .zip format from a link on the home
page, developers corner.  This is the cutting
edge, most recent build of the toolkit, and should
be consistent with what is in CVS.

I have been giving the "Tomcat" problem some
thought lately.  We have written tomcat servlets
which just access the Web Map Service and server
the images that way.  It may or may not be simple
depending on how you wish to go about it.

Finally.  Feel free to send me e-mail directly.

Thanks,
Ithaqua



 I am trying to build an application with
gistoolkit and the db2 spatial
 extender. i am more or less a newbie in Java
programming so  i have a few
 questions. Trying the binary code and setting up
the a layer (an shapefile
 example) i was asked on the client site to
install the java plugin version
 1.3.1.2. is there a way to change the version of
this required plugin,
 because i only have java 1.4 installed. Probably
i have to build the
 source code by myself, to get rid of the plugin
version. therefore i
 wanted to checkout the cvs on sourceforge, but it
doesnt work: after 
 cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous@cv...:/cvsroot/gistoolkit login
 i got the message 
 cvs [login aborted]: end of file from server (consult
 above messages if any)
 for the password i just pressed the enter key as
described at sourceforge.
 any ideas?
 is there a simple way to integrate the gistoolkit
into tomcat?
