Next week will be officially announcing MapInfo Professional v10.5 at the Pitney Bowes Business Insights user conference (May 12-14). The final feature we’re releasing makes it easier than ever to create maps. By enhancing usability, MapInfo Professional v10.5 decreases the time to value, allowing users more time to analyze geographic data and share insight.
Users can now create multiple zoom dependent layer styles or label values with just a click of the mouse. Maps that may have required 17-plus layers in the past can now be created with only seven layers, while still retaining the same level of intricacy and interactivity. With each new version of MapInfo Professional, PBBI continues to make the process of creating maps more streamlined and user-friendly.

MapInfo Professional v10.5 is coming and we wanted to give you a heads up about one of the new features to be released before formally announcing the product at the Pitney Bowes Business Insights user conference (May 12-14).
The newest feature provides organizations with new and powerful ways to share maps across the enterprise and via the cloud, enhancing access to the tools and information necessary to make critical business decisions.
With MapInfo Professional v10.5, organizations can create and share dynamic maps that business users can interact with on a daily basis. For instance, users will be able to publish maps to the cloud through a PBBI’s newest web mapping application, MapInfo Stratus.
PBBI has also enhanced MapInfo Professional’s PDF publishing options, introducing GeoPDF. With GeoPDF, it’s possible to publish both coordinate data as well as tabular information to a PDF file, giving users more flexibility to share information with their colleagues.

For logging SOAP-based requests, Envinsa provides powerful built-in configuration options accessible through the Enterprise Manager. REST API requests can also be logged, but this must be done through a separate mechanism: namely, by enabling access logging for the application server in use.
Here is an example of configuring access logging within Tomcat, the default application server for Envinsa.
1) Shut down the Tomcat that contains the REST service for which logging is desired.
2) Browse to the Tomcat’s conf folder, and open server.xml.
3) Scroll down to the Host element. Somewhere within the Host element, either add or uncomment a Valve element to define an access log. For example:
<Host name=”localhost” appBase=”webapps”
unpackWARs=”true” autoDeploy=”true”
xmlValidation=”false” xmlNamespaceAware=”false”>
<!– Other items here –>
<Valve className=”org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve”
directory=”logs” prefix=”localhost_access_log.” suffix=”.txt”
pattern=”%t %s %b %D %r”/>
<!– Other items here –>
</Host>
The directory attribute specifies where to store the access log. The prefix and suffix attributes define what the beginning and end of the log file name should be. A timestamp will be automatically inserted in between (ex. localhost_access_log.2010-02-02.txt).
The pattern attribute holds a list of strings that define what information to record in each log entry. The pattern specified in the example above, when used in conjunction with the MapTiling service, produces a log entry that looks like this:
[02/Feb/2010:13:21:55 -0500] 200 79 516 GET /MapTiling/RESTService/getMaps?output=json HTTP/1.1
The available pattern strings are discussed here:
Additional attributes for the AccessLogValve class are discussed here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/valve.html
4) Save and close server.xml.
5) Restart Tomcat.
