[Mapserver-users] WFS throws an error when ArcGIS connects

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Joost,

did you try with a HTTP sniffer to see what exact requests ArcGIS is 
generating for Mapserver?

BTW is the interoperability pack for ArcGIS now on the market?

I can't even connect with ArcExplorer to a Mapserver WFS because 
apparently ArcExplorer needs the Abstract child elemenent from <Service> 
in the Capabilities although according to the OGC schema it is optional 
(<xsd:element ref="wfs:Abstract" minOccurs="0" />).

com.esri.axl.marshal.UnMarshallingException: No data for element Abstract 
inside sequence in line 1.

Best regards,
Bart
