Customizing ArcIMS Using the Java Connector and Python Track: Application Development Author(s): Randal Goss The ArcIMS Java connector provides the most complete and powerful object model for creating customized ArcIMS Web sites. Java, however, with its code/compile/run development model, lacks the ease of use of scripting languages for rapid development and prototyping of Web applications. To leverage the power of the Java connector with the rapid development cycle of scripting languages we have begun utilizing the Python scripting language. Python is a relatively simple but powerful cross platform programming language that, in addition to running in Windows, was ported to Java. Python in Java, frequently referred to as Jython, is fully integrated with the Java environment allowing the programmer to use and even write Java classes and applets. This paper explores the process of incorporating Jython into JavaServer Pages or Servelets to quickly deploy highly customized ArcIMS Web sites.
