<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2 color=black
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>I did a
bit of digging and discovered a couple of things with respect to GML encoding.
The ESRI documentation states that GML is supported and, in fact, encouraged</span></font><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> with WFS
services (<a
href="http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisserver/9.3/dotNet/index.htm#wfs_service.htm">http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisserver/9.3/dotNet/index.htm#wfs_service.htm</a>).
However, because WMS services are not designed to deliver geographic data but
simply map images GML is not supported from WMS services. ArcGIS desktop does,
indeed, support GML from WFS services and the Data Interoperability extension
extends that support to a number of different schemas (<a
href="http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=An_overview_of_GML_support_in_ArcGIS">http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=An_overview_of_GML_support_in_ArcGIS</a>).
I'm not sure, however, if the Data Interoperability extension would be
required. I suspect not but I may be wrong. In short, if you want to use GML
for attribute encoding in ArcMap, set up your service as WFS and try it. Otherwise,
text/html might just have to suffice.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
