Hi,
Mapbuilder, as a client-based web mapping solution, can work tomcat, as well as
Apache httpd, etc. Mapbuilder connects to maps via standards-based mechanisms
(i.e. WMS, etc.), so your best bet would be to create a WMS instance of your
data and have Mapbuilder seamlessly connect to and display your map data.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Mapbuilder + Mapserver without WMS?
Greetings,
I have been sniffing around the web lately trying to find a good
ajax client to enhance our in-house developed client in our mapping application
(Google maps spoiled a lot people). Anyway, I found Mapbuilder and thought it
would fit the bill because it works on Tomcat and has allows all the visual
customization we need.
However, I cant find in the docs any mention to it running
alongside Mapserver with a non-WMS setup. I dont think we could refactor our
java mapscript code to make it
work reliably trough a WMS connection. Not to mention no one over here
ever worked with WMS before, so add in the cost/time of training someone.
So, has anyone ever successfully used Mapbuilder sending parameters
to mapserver trough a good old fashion POST and fetching the resulting map
directly at the file system, or is that line a research a dead-end and I should
start thinking about migrating to a local WMS?
Thanks!
Rodrigo
