Mercator maps as web service - called from a JAVA class

[mlapse]

Anyone have any ideas on how to call a mercator map from a JAVA class?

How does one utilize a mercator map as a webservice?

To call a Mercator map from a Java-Class, you need the Mercator JDK. It has a Mercator-Java-API. It did this with Mercator 6.5.2 and 6.7.1 and it works fine.

If you wan´t to call a map as a webservice you can either use RTI (Real-Time Integration, starting with version 7.5.1) or use the WebServices Integration Package.

Also can use the Event Agent and Event Server.

Buke,

Where do I get the Mercator JDk from? Will this work over a network. Say I want to call a map at another location from a JAVA class on my machine.

Bocaburger,

I am using ver 6.7.1 How do I use event agent and event server.

You have to purchase the DK (new name) from IBM. Product line is now known as IBM WebSphere DataStage TX. What product do you have now? If you don't have Event Agent and Event Server, you will need to purchase them also. Currently shipping versions are 7.5.1 and 8.0.

Event agent shows as a web page, you can enter data, submitting and get back info in realtime. Event Agent can sit in DMZ, with Event Server behind firewall.

How would you invoke any remote program from a JAVA Class on your machine? What OS do you plan on using the the maps?

Most of this should be in the documentation.

Do you have Mercator Desktop?

I am using Mercator version 6.7.1 and the OS is windows 2000 server.

Even if I cant use it as a web service (until we purchase the new version), I would like to be able to execute a map from a JAVA class. I dont see anything in the documentation regarding this. the examples have a map calling a JAVA class but not vice versa.

I need to see an example which I can use as a prototype for evaluation.
