Replace [localhost] by the name of the computer or IP address
where Tomcat is installed.
Exploring the Syntax of the Servlet’s
Configuration File
Using an example is the simplest way to describe the syntax of the
WMS servlet’s configuration file. By consulting the MapService-
Config.dtd, you can validate any modifications that you make to the
file.
The following configuration file contains a layer from Geomatica
WebServer Monitor running on the computer “Host” using port
1455:

FocusConnector
1455
Host
Default
The first line in the example indicates that the document is based on
XML version 1.0 and the encoding is UTF-8:
The “mapservice-config” element is the root of the XML file where
you declare all the map layers.
. . .
Within the “mapservice-config” element, the next lines shown in the
example state the “map” element with a style sheet and the map
layer. The stylesheet determines the format for the results of the
queries that you perform.
Each “maplayer” is identified by a unique “layerid”. The layer ID
corresponds to the names of the layers in the Capabilities, which is
“Boundaries” in this example:
The “queryable” attribute in the “maplayer” element indicates
whether the layer can be queried about layer attributes or not. If the
value is “true”, queries are possible. If the value is “false”, queries
are not possible.
The “layertype” element defines the type of layer, which is “image”
