Is it possible to deploy MapViewer on a 3rd party application server such as JBoss?
This is not supported or recommended. However users have successfully deployed the mapviewer.ear file downloaded from OTN into a 3rd party J2EE compliant container, such as JBoss. You will need the Oracle JDBC driver (classes12.jar or ojdbc14.jar) and Oracle XML parser (xmlparserv2.jar) in the J2EE container’s library path. The latest versions of both should work. Note that for WebLogic, it appears that you must manually unpack the mapviewer.ear file and then deploy from the unpacked directory. If you deploy from the mapviewer.ear to WebLogic MapViewer will not initialize properly.
