OBIEE and Mapviewer

Question

I just read on the cook book of the OOW last november regarding using OBIEE with Mapviewer. However, I came to one part and I don't know what should put inside the file obiee_nsdp_xml_direct.jsp. Anybody have any idea how to do it? Or this file can be retrieve somewhere?
Thanks in advance =)

Sorry, should have included it in the workshop doc. Will be there this time.
Jerry Conrad wrote it. Hopefully he won't mind it being posted here.
Note its sample code and hence all the usual disclaimers apply.
Enclosing the code in CDATA.
