[Mapserver-users] ArcExplorer 4.0.1 WMS Client

[Ed McNierney]

Well, I got it installed, at least <g>.

When I try to connect to a WMS server, the dialog asks me for a URL and a Service Name (as if it were ArcIMS or something).  ESRI appears to have made a commitment to implementing documentation in the future, too, and I can't figure out what values I should put in these boxes.  If they provided a single example for using a WMS server it would be very helpful.

Anyone know what magic words they're expecting?

Hellooooooooo!

So, being ambitious today, I figured I might as well see if the newly 
released "Interoperability Extension for ArcExplorer" works with 
mapserver.  Eventhough this is built on java, they only release a version 
for Windblows!  Errrrr.....

You can download it from here

Well, I can't quite make this work.  The extension does talk to our MIT 
Ortho server, so I must be doing something wrong with the METADATA in my 
.map file.  I have attached the results of my REQUEST=capabilities CGI 
call.  Anybody got ideas or have gotten this to work?

Here is the error from ArcExplorer

tokenizer exception; nested exception is;
com.esri.axl.indiana.sxt.XmlTokenizerException: unexpected end of stream 
(state=71)
    at com.esri.axl.indiana.sxt.XmlTokenizer.next(XmlTokenizer.java:310)
   .....................

PS.  I can query the mapserver from the Cubewerx site...
PSS. This is mapserver 3.6.4 on RH Linux 7.3
