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

[Robert Sanson]

Thanks Seth! Good to know it can work. Still trying to get it to show anything. Here is my layer:

LAYER
  NAME "NZ_Property"
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS DEFAULT
  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
  CONNECTION https://services.arcgis.com/xdsHIIxuCWByZiCB/arcgis/rest/services/LINZ_NZ_Property_Boundaries/FeatureServer/0/query?resultRecordCount=100&f=geoJSON
  PROJECTION
   "init=epsg:2193"
  END
  CLASS
      STYLE
         WIDTH 2
         COLOR 255 255 0
         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
      END
  END
END

Mapserver v. 8.2.2 is not showing any error messages even though I have DEBUG 5 on my map. The layer projection matches the MAP projection. According to the documentation for the site, Supported query Formats: JSON, geoJSON, PBF

Thanks

Robert

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

Hi All



Does anyone have an example of setting up a layer in a Mapfile to cascade an ArcGIS FeatureService REST endpoint?



Many thanks
