WMS Layer in Flex Viewer

ZahidChaudhry

I am trying to access "nowCOAST 'obs' WMS" (only temperature) in viewer but with no luck. Any help will be highly appreciated (THANKS NOAA in Advanced for still using OLD OLD OLD stuff and not using ArcGIS Server....and much more....)

Here is the URL

Try:
<layer label="nowCOAST 'obs' WMS" type="wms" visible="true" alpha="1" version="1.1.1" skipgetcapabilities="true" imageformat="png" url="http://nowcoast.noaa.gov:80/wms/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/obs?" wkid="3857" visiblelayers="OBS_MET_TEMP"/>

This is copied from the config shown in this helper after entering the WebMap id:

Another easy way to figure this out is to use the application builder, select the Web Map you want, then click "Switch to Basemaps & Operational Layers", click "Save". The config.xml file will now have the layer tag for you.

Hi,

I try to do the same with "http://www.brugis.irisnet.be/brugiswms/request.aspx" in the application builder with no luck 😞

the URL is correct and give me the result in ArcMap . I dont understand.

Thanks

DasaPaddock

Try:

            <layer label="BruGIS WMS - Geomedia" type="wms" visible="true"
                url="http://www.brugis.irisnet.be/brugiswms/request.aspx"
                wkid="3857" visiblelayers="Limites_communales"/>

David_Caussin

Thanks for the response but it don't resolve the problem 😞

DasaPaddock

The above worked for me with a web mercator base map. Can you post the contents of your whole config.xml file?

David_Caussin

you was right with a web mercator base map it is ok.

I'had only to change the WKID to run it with my map.

Thanks a lot.

I'm having a WMS service that I can't seem to get to render in the FlexViewer 2.5.

I'm using the following in my config file:

<layer label="Surface Sea Water Velocity" type="wms" visible="true" 
                   visiblelayers="surface_sea_water_velocity"
               imageFormat="png32"
               alpha="0.6"
               skipgetcapabilities="true"
                   url="http://hfrnet.ucsd.edu/thredds/wms/HFRNet/USWC/6km/hourly/RTV?service=WMS&srs=EPSG:4326"/>

The Viewer seems to load just fine, but nothing ever draws from the WMS. I'm not sure if I'm reading my Charles output correctly but, it seems like there might be a missing crossdomain.xml file on the hfrnet server. Would someone mind looking at this and letting me know if I missed something?

Thanks!

DasaPaddock

The server doesn't need a crossdomain.xml file when skipgetcapabilities is set to true.

What is your map's spatial reference? Usually this would be the SR of the first base layer.

FrankRoberts

I am using the Spatial Reference: 4326 base maps. I believe that should be compatible with the ones provided by the above service.

ie:
http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer

Thanks for your quick reply,

DasaPaddock

Even though the service says it supports version 1.3.0, I only get blank maps back unless I set the version to 1.1.1 like this:

    <map wraparound180="true" initialextent="-130 30 -115 50" top="40">
     <basemaps>
      <layer url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer" type="tiled" visible="true"/>
     </basemaps>
        <operationallayers>
            <layer label="Surface Sea Water Velocity" type="wms" visible="true" 
                   visiblelayers="surface_sea_water_velocity"
                   imageFormat="png"
                   alpha="0.6"
                   skipgetcapabilities="true"
                   url="http://hfrnet.ucsd.edu/thredds/wms/HFRNet/USWC/6km/hourly/RTV"
                   version="1.1.1"/>
        </operationallayers>
    </map>

FrankRoberts

Thanks that was great, not sure how you knew to start backing down the versions, but I will try to remeber that!

This particular WMS service is time enabled, and that can be seen via ArcMap if you add the service directly to ArcMap. Is there a way to time series the WMS with the FlexViewer or is time only available from true ArcServer services?

Thanks again,
Frank

Hi!
I also try to add a wms - Layer in ArcGis Viewer for flex 3.0.
Thats my code in config.xml:

...
...
<layer label="LINFOS" type="wms" visible="true"
  visiblelayers="LINFOS NRW"
  wkid="31466"    
  imageformat="png" 
  alpha="1" 
  skipgetcapabilities="true"
  url="http://www.wms.nrw.de/umwelt/linfos?"
  version="1.1.1"/>     
</operationallayers>

I can see the labelName in Flex, but that's all. Anyone an idea?

DasaPaddock

You need to use the Layer's Name value rather than the Title, so try:

visiblelayers="LINFOSNRW"

YvonneDeus

Thanks, that make sense. But the Layer isn´t still there. Could it be, cause of the interlacing?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]19773[/ATTACH]

And in Flashbuilder I got a *** Security Sandbox-Verletzung *** be cause of "...abgelehnt wegen nicht vorhandener Richtliniendateiberechtigungen"
This should be in english something like: "access denied cause of failing terms of reference"
But in Arcmap is everything ok. Do I need a crossdomain.xml?

LINFOS.png

DasaPaddock

A crossdomain.xml is not needed since you have skipgetcapabilities="true". Is your map's spatial reference also 31466 or an equivalent? Can you post a link to your Viewer or your whole map config?

YvonneDeus

Ah, my flex viewer is Webmercator auxilary sphere (wkid 102100) this is not supported by LINFOS, right? What a pity!

KathrynSmith

I realize this is different service, but similar issue...
I am trying to get a WMS service (created by someone else using OpenLayers) in my Flex map viewer (v3.3)
The service:
http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/geoserver/track/ows?request=GetCapabilities&service=wms&version=1.1.1
I am using Oceans basemap so the spatial reference of the viewer is web mercator (wkid=102100), right?
And I think this service is wkid=4326
Does that mean I cannot add this service to my viewer? Or can I put this in the call statement? If I can, can you suggest the code for my config.xml?

DasaPaddock

That service supports many projections (see the section of the capabilities with the comment "All supported EPSG projections:") including 3857, which is equivalent to 102100.

Try:

<layer label="Marine" type="wms" visible="true"
       url="http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/geoserver/track/ows"
       skipgetcapabilities="true" wkid="3857"
       visiblelayers="lidar"/>

KathrynSmith

Perfect! I had the wrong wkid. Thanks!!

Hello All,

I make a viewer with the Application Builder 3.6 and add a WMS Layer with the Operational Layeres tools, in the config the layer show like this:
<layer type="wms" label="Poligonos" url="http://www.snitcr.org/cgi-bin/wms?map=poligonos.map" skipgetcapabilities="true" version="1.3.0" wkid="900913" visible="true" visiblelayers="ZONAS_HOMOGENEAS" maximageheight="2050" maximagewidth="2050"/>

The viewer and the layer don´t have problems and error, my question is who I can enable the Identify functionality in a WMS layer. When I load this layer in ArcGIS for Desktop I can identify features and work very well. Does ArcGIS Viewer for Flex support identify WMS layers?

Thank you.

BjornSvensson

Does ArcGIS Viewer for Flex support identify WMS layers?

No, identify on WMS is not supported in neither the Flex API, nor the Flex Viewer.

AdminPlataforma

Thanks

FYI - That link requires people to log in to salesforce.
