[Mapserver-users] ArcExplorer/ WMS questions

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Matthew,

I also tried your URL and put the message level in ArcExplorer to ALL and 
get the following info, so it seems the GetCapabilities request 
ArcExplorer is sending does not get the right response, i.e. try it for 
yourself in a browser and you get 8 errors from the terraservice WMS:

GetCapabilities Request : 
http://terraservice.net/OgcMap.ashx?VERSION=1.1.1&WMTVER=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=capabilities

GetCapabilities Request : 
http://terraservice.net/OgcMap.ashx?VERSION=1.1.1&WMTVER=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=capabilities

###### Start to WMS getCapabilities in GetWMSService class version=null

************** realVersion is = none

************** Version is = null

This version is not supported

******** Exception for WMS:null

java.lang.NullPointerException

----
For using Mapserver WMS with ArcExplorer it needed some tweaks. It seemed 
ArcExplorer could only work with WMS 1.1.1.

Maybe you can get some additional useful information from this page on the 
Wiki:

Best regards,
Bart
