Integrating ServletExec 4.1 with ArcIMS

Which version of ServletExec is right for me?

Installation Steps:

IIS Management

Note:

These instructions apply only to ServletExec 4.1.1 with ArcIMS 4.0, using Microsoft IIS web server on the Windows operating system. Instructions for integrating other versions of ServletExec and ArcIMS can be found here.

Prior to Installation:

Before installing ServletExec version 4.1.1 you must first install a JDK (Java Development Kit) or a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) version 1.3.1. The JDK 1.3.1 can be freely downloaded from Sun's Website.
The JRE 1.3.1 can be found on the ArcIMS 4.0 installation CD. The ArcIMS setup program will install JRE 1.3.1 if it does not detect JDK or JRE 1.3.1 on your computer.

Note: JRE is not needed if JDK 1.3.x is installed on the computer. Another term for JDK is SDK (Software Development Kit).

ESRI also requires that the installed copy of ServletExec be a fully enabled/licensed* one prior to installing ArcIMS. (An unlicensed copy of ServletExec will not be sufficient for running ArcIMS.)

*You may fully enable your free downloaded copy of ServletExec by:

Entering the key that you receive when you purchase a ServletExec license.
Obtaining a 30-day evaluation key for free, and entering it.

In either case, the key (registration number) is entered in your browser via the Administration tool which is included with ServletExec.
See step 'b' below for specific information explaining how to enter your key after you have installed and tested ServletExec.

Before installing ServletExec for Microsoft IIS, it's very important to completely stop IIS web server. Here are instructions for stopping IIS to make sure the ServletExec installation is completed properly... Stop IIS

Installing ServletExec:

Follow the ServletExec Installation Guide as the installation wizard guides you through the installation process.

After installing ServletExec for Microsoft IIS, it's very important to completely stop and restart the IIS web server. Here are instructions for stopping and restarting IIS to make sure the ServletExec installation is completed properly... Stop and Start IIS

To verify the ServletExec installation was successful:

a. Open a browser window and type:

http://<hostname*>/servlet/TestServlet

If you see the TestServlet Output screen, your install was successful and you may continue. If you don?t see this screen, something is wrong. Carefully review the ServletExec Installation Guide and the FAQs at this website to make sure all installation steps have completed properly.

b. To fully enable/license ServletExec type in your browser:

http://<hostname*>/servlet/admin

c. Access the license & security page, and in the License key box, paste in your license code and click Enter License Key. (Typing the key in manually can be error prone)

d. Close ServletExec Admin (your browser window).

<hostname*> is the name of the computer on which the HTTP Web Server (IIS) is installed.
If your browser is running on the same machine as your Web Server, then localhost or 127.0.0.1 will usually work here.
