[mapserver-users] WMS identify within ArcGIS

[David Hildebrand]

Mark:

 

Apparently I was in error.  I restarted apache this morning and when I
loaded the layer in question into ArcMap and did an "Identify" I got the
results I wanted.  I am not an apache guru so I'm not exactly sure what
I did right.  

 

In the WEB>METADATA section of my map file I have the line
"wms_feature_info_mime_type" "text/html".  For each layer have the lines

 

  TEMPLATE "layer.html"

  DUMP TRUE

 

The html template as well as the relevant map files are attached.

 

This configuration works for text/html output but I'm not sure if ESRI
supports GML.  Hope this helps.

It seems that ArcMap only supports text/plain output for WMS info_format
even when requested otherwise.  To my knowledge this format does not
return attribute values but simply feature numbers (someone correct me
if I am wrong).  I have a support call into ESRI even as we speak so I
will pass that information along when I get it.

 

Till later,

Hello,

I am trying to set up Mapserver as a WMS server.  Currently I can draw
maps.  However, I am having trouble getting the server to support
Identify, specifically within ArcGIS.

Does anyone have an example map file and template that allows WMS
Identify in ArcGIS.

Thank You
