PROBLEM
An ArcXML request posted to the Servlet Connector through an HTML form fails to work
Description
In ArcIMS 3.1, an ArcXML request posted to the Servlet Connector through an HTML Viewer fails to work.PLEASE PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO THE ArcIMS MIDDLEWARE TEAM VIA CQ00137440. WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK TO FINE TUNE THIS ISSUE FOR FINAL.
Cause
The Servlet Connector may use one of two methods for processing: InputStream (default), or getParameter. The method to use depends upon the locale, web server, and Servlet Engine. If one method doesn't work, the other method might.
Solution or Workaround
The method may be changed by entering the useCustomProcessing property to the Esrimap_prop file: useCustomProcessing=true (uses InputStream method)
useCustomProcessing=false (uses getParameter method)
See the test matrix below for scenarios in which these methods work and do not work.
