This is the place.

Using OWS 1 or 2, you would

1.) map a virtual directory that could store 'static' files (eg: I mapped the virtual directory /maps -> /usr/oracle/ows2/WebDocs/maps)

2.) put your map files into this directory (use the .map file extension unless you have changed this via the admin server screens). For example, my map file looks like:

$-:Image Map file created by Map THIS!

#$-:Map THIS! free image map editor by Todd C. Wilson
#$-:Please do not edit lines starting with "#$"
#$VERSION:1.10
#$TITLE:aria
#$AUTHOR:tkyte

3.) Use the following HTML syntax in your web pages:

<a href=/maps/aria.map>
<img src="/ows-bin/owai/aria.gif" border=0 ismap alt="Oracle Government"

     width=447 height=57>
</a>  

NOTE: do not look for a CGI program to process image maps. The Oracle web server resolves them internally without the use of an external image map program.
