Try publishing/loading as a MapService as type="dynamic". I get the same error if I try to load a raster as a feature.

This works for me to load a raster service:

   <layer label="Elevation" type="dynamic" visible="true" alpha="0.9"
      url="http://myhost.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/elevation_only/MapServer"/>

I do not use the app building. However, I suspect that once you publish it as a MapService, you would add it just like any other MapService in the app building.

Suspect you just go to the raster service, and don't "drill in" to the sublayers as that will make it type="feature".

I am not familiar with the application builder, but if that is what you are using, then yes, in the application builder, add an Operational Layer and navigate to where ever it is that you published the raster mapservice and add it.

You should end up with something like

http://gis01.wch-rcc.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/elevation_only/MapServer

without a /0 at the end.

Rhett, I am going to jump in since you don't use App Builder.

Nadeem,

The reason that in App Builder it is trying to add the map service as a feature type layer is because you are double clicking into the map service instead of just selecting it once. Here is what I mean. In App Builder when you open the folder for your ArcGIS Servers services you can open the particular services and when you are at the Map Service level the label will be "xyz map service (MS)" you can then open that (MS) and choose a particular layer (That is what causes it to be added as a feature type layer). You want to choose the "xyz map service (MS)" and click the include button with the "xyz map service (MS)" selected.

Thanks Robert,

I knew there is a difference in how it added it depending on how far you drilled into the service. But without ever using appbuilder, wasn't sure exactly what one sees when they add Operational Layers.
