mapserver with arcExplorer

[Brent Fraser]

Robin,

   In ArcExplorer v4.0.1 Java Edition, you can get some "debugging" info by
displaying the ArcExplorer message console.  Go to Help-> ArcExplorer
Message Console, then on the console window: View -> Message Level -> all.
It will show the details of the error.

  ArcExplorer seems to require an Abstract object in the Capabilities XML.
Set the WMS_ABSTRACT in the METADATA portion of the WEB object of your map
file:

WEB
    :
  METADATA
        :
    WMS_ABSTRACT "really good data"
        :
  END
END
