[Mapserver-users] Support for WMS in ESRI's GeographyNetwork.com

[Matt Lynch]

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the clarification.  Do you if the "interoperability
extension" is integrated into ArcExplorer or if it is add-on?  My end
goal is to provide data access to a client who uses ArcExplorer, so the
GeographyNetwork is not as important to me.  I have ArcExplorer 4.01
running and when I go to add a Web Layer it gives me options to "Connect
to All ArcIMS Services", "Connect to One ArcIMS Service", or "Connect to
Restricted ArcIMS Service".  I suspect a big part of my problems is an
unfamiliarity with the Arc Explorer product.

Thanks,

Matt

Matt -

The Geography Network lets you publish WMS services as WMS services, and
ArcIMS services as ArcIMS services.  You can publish both or either one.
The Geography Network does not provide any additional interoperability
between WMS clients/servers and ArcIMS clients/servers.

Your question about ArcExplorer is separate from the Geography Network.
ArcExplorer 4.0.1 with the new "interoperability extension" can read WMS
layers, although several folks have had some difficulty getting it to
work well.  The fact that WMS and/or ArcIMS layers are served on the
Geography Network doesn't have any effect on whether ArcExplorer can
read them.

Hi,

I have seen a couple of older posts regarding support for WMS in ESRI's
geopgraphyNetwork.  I am considering publishing to them, but with WMS.
Does anybody know the current state of support.  For example can
ArcExplorer read a WMS layer, or only ArcXML layers (as one older post
suggested).

Any information or experience would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
