PROBLEM
This problem is typically associated with the following behavior:- Maps generated by the ImageServer or the ImageServerArcMap will display in an HTML Viewer.- The same maps do not display in ArcExplorer Java or in ArcMap.- In attempting to display a map in ArcExplorer Java, the ArcExplorer Message Console displays an error message which starts
with the statement, "java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:"
When creating an ArcIMS ImageServer or ImageServerArcMap service, an HTTP Location (URL) must be specified. Although ArcIMS allows relative URLs (for example: '/output' or '../../output'), they do not work with ArcExplorer or ArcMap.
