Accessing and Modifying the Configuration File
Accessing and Modifying the Configuration File
The named WMS configuration file WMSConfigurationis located in the Configuration directory
under the root repository. For example, a default installation will place the WMS configuration file at http://localhost:8080/RepositoryService/repository/default/Configuration/WMSConfiguration
To configure the WMS, perform the following:
1. You must be located on the local machine hosting MapInfo Spatial Server and the repository.
2. Use a standard WebDAV protocol tool to access the repository (e.g., Windows WebFolders, DAVExplorer,
etc.) and copy the configuration file from the repository to a directory on your local machine.
The WMS configuration file is located at http://localhost:8080/RepositoryService/repository/default/Configuration/WMSConfiguration
For examples of using standard WebDAV tools, see Accessing the Repository using WebDAV
on page 10
3. Make changes to the local WMSConfiguration file.
4. Upload the modified configuration file back to the same location (and name) in the repository using
your WebDAV tool.
5. Use the MapInfo Spatial Server JMX Console to invoke the new configuration for the service. For
instruction on how to reload the configuration using the JMX Console, see Reload the Service
Configuration using JMX Console on page 12
Accessing the Repository using WebDAV
10
Configuration files are pre-loaded in the repository for each service. These configuration files are located
at http://localhost:8080/RepositoryService/repository/default/Configuration/.
To configure the services, you must use a WebDAV protocol tool to access the JCR repository, copy
the configuration file locally, make changes to the file, copy the configuration file back to the repository,
and reload the configuration using the JMX Console. There are many tools available to accomplish the
WebDAV connection tasks. We have provided two examples:
Using WebFolders to Access the Repository Resources
To add or modify a resource, you must copy the resource to or from the repository using a WebDAV
tool. Using WebFolders is an easy way to access the repository and the resources contained in the repository.
Note:
WebFolders is for Windows machines only. To access the repository, you must be on the same
machine where MapInfo Spatial Server and the repository are installed.
To configure a WebFolder:
1. Using the Windows file explore, for the method appropriate for your version of Windows, select Map
Network Drive...
2. In the pop-up window, click on the link 'sign up for online storage or connect to a
network server' or you may have a link that mentions'Connect to a website...'.
3. Click the Next and select Choose another network location. Click Next.
