WFS in ArcGIS Pro

denniszammarchi — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 13:14:10 GMT

Hello everyone,

The Italian Revenue Agency has released this WFS service: https://wfs.cartografia.agenziaentrate.gov.it/inspire/wfs/owfs01.php, which contains data that could be highly useful for users working with Italian territory data.

Unfortunately, in our tests, we have been unable to visualize or access the data in ArcGIS Pro, even when using the "WFS to Feature Class" tool.

Could there be an advanced parameter we are missing? Has anyone been able to connect to it and visualize the data?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I tried to connect to the WFS using ArcGIS Pro 3.4.x and cannot connect. It throws an Invalid Path error...

@denniszammarchi

I also tried to access the WFS in a new browser and I got an access denied, do you need any parameters to access the item?

Can you display the data in Pro without using the WFS to Feature Class tool first?

I was able to make the connection in AGP 3.4.2 but nothing displays when added to a Map but the attribute tables do show one record for each layer.

GP Tool WFS To Feature Class rendered OK with Mappe showing one polygon in Sardinia that seemed to draw correctly over a basemap, whereas Particelle looked like a sliver polygon and drew somewhere in Africa. I tried QGIS just in case with minimal success.

Perhaps try to track down the source and have them check it out.

Thank you for your feedback @DanielFox1

Unfortunately, no. When I create the connection in ArcGIS Pro 3.4.2 and try to add one of the two layers to the map, I see only a single polygon record in Sardinia. The attribute table also shows only one record. In reality, there should be thousands of records and polygons.

Thanks for your feedback @BarryNorthey , we get the same result.
