[mapserver-users] WMS identify within ArcGIS

[Bonnie James]

Hi Mark,
 
A few years ago we did have a problem getting GetFeatureInfo queries to work with ArcGIS.
 
Have you had a look through your server logs to analyse the request that ArcGIS is sending?
 
In our case, ArcMap would send a request with the QUERY_LAYERS parameter present and correct, but the LAYERS parameters would be missing from the request. We use an ASP wrapper script for our services so we were able to add some code to parse the request, grab the list of layers from QUERY_LAYERS value, and use this to append the correct LAYERS parameter onto the request.
 
Hope that helps - feel free to email me if you want some more information on the wrapper script.
 
 
Cheers,
 
Bonnie

Subject: [mapserver-users] WMS identify within ArcGIS



Hello,

I am trying to set up Mapserver as a WMS server.  Currently I can draw maps.  However, I am having trouble getting the server to support Identify, specifically within ArcGIS.

Does anyone have an example map file and template that allows WMS Identify in ArcGIS.

Thank You
