ArcIMS REST Service-Weather Radar in FlexViewer 2.1

DavidKiendl — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 11:55:06 GMT

I am trying to pull 2 different weather radar layer services via REST into the new 2.1 viewer (also didnt work in 2.0) these same services both worked fine in the 1.3 API. The REST page says that these services are IMS and i am guess that is the reason. I have tried coding different types in the config file such as "acrims" "feature" "dynamic" etc. Any ideas?

FlexViewer 2.1 does support ArcIMS services. Can you post your layer tag from your config?

Here is the layer: <layer label="Weather Radar" type="dynamic" visible="false"
url="http://129.79.145.13/ArcGIS/rest/services/Maps/radar/MapServer/"/>

This layer resides w/in <operationallayers> tags and ive tried changing type to all other options. ie. tiled, image, arcims...

The layer tag is fine (you can remove the trailing slash). This is a non-cached ArcGIS service. The problem is that the service returns blank images when it's being asked to be projected to web mercator. It works fine if you leave it in 4326 like this (notice the change in base layer):

    <map initialextent="-146 16 -61 59" top="40">
        <basemaps>
            <layer label="Streets" type="tiled" visible="true"  alpha="1"
                        url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer"/>
        </basemaps>
        <operationallayers>
            <layer label="Weather Radar" type="dynamic" visible="false"
                url="http://129.79.145.13/ArcGIS/rest/services/Maps/radar/MapServer"/>
        </operationallayers>
    </map>

Thank you! I had a feeling it was a projection issue. IMS does not seem to project on the fly like the other layer types do.

Could you please please 🙂 tell me the source of your weather data? I have been trying fruitlessly to get weather data into our app for quite some time.

Thanks in advance

Here's one you can try:
http://rmgsc.cr.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services

Seems to work most of the time.

Here is another form NOAA, doesn't always seem to work though:
