[MapServer-users] How to reference an ArcGIS FeatureService REST endpoint in the mapfile?

[Seth G]

Hi Robert,

This works, but renders very slowly. It uses https://gdal.org/en/stable/drivers/vector/esrijson.html underneath. 

map2img -m arcgis.map -o map.png

MAP
    NAME "PoolPermits"
    EXTENT -13075816 4014771 -13073005 4016869
    SIZE 400 400
    PROJECTION
        "init=epsg:3857"
    END
    LAYER
        NAME "buildings"
        TYPE POLYGON
        STATUS DEFAULT
        CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
        CONNECTION "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/PoolPermits/FeatureServer/0/query?resultRecordCount=10&f=pjson"
        CLASS
            STYLE
                COLOR 246 241 223
                OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
            END
        END
    END
END

Seth
