Flex viewer and WxS

OlivierForêt — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:22:38 GMT

Hello,

I would like to know how to use wms or wfs layers in the flexviewer ?
In the config.xml, do I have to write it as a basemap or operationnal layer ? how do I mention my WxS layer ?

Thank you.

WMS is supported similar to other layer types. It can be either a basemap or an operational layer.
http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/Layer_tag/01m30000000p000000/

WMTS support was added in the API in version 2.5 and will be supported in the next release of the Flex Viewer (2.6/3.0).

WFS is not supported.

Thanks Bjorn for the answer, but I just cant get any display on the map,

I tried to paste that line into operationnal layers, I see the label on the viewer, but nothing appears.

<layer label="WMS" type="wms" visible="true" alpha="0.5" servicename="Risques en Loiret" layer="Risques en Loiret" format="image/png" crs="EPSG:4326">http://cartorisque.prim.net/wms/45?</layer>

Thank you for those who can help me.

I tryed this

<layer label="Cartographie des risques naturels et technologiques en Loiret"
      type="wms"
   visible="false"
   alpha="0.75"
   servicename="Risques en Loiret"
   layer="D45"
   imageformat="image/png"
   url="EPSG:4326">http://cartorisque.prim.net/wms/45?</layer>

and I have this error

MapManager

Cartographie des risques naturels et technologiques en Loiret layer
failed to load: Code d�??erreur : Server.Error.Request

SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1%2E3%2E0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

I cant solve this, I did the GetCapabilities on the WMS Server to see the informations about the differents layers.
Thanks per advance

Olivier,

You have several things wrong in your layer. It should look like this:

<layer
                label="Cartographie des risques naturels et technologiques en Loiret" skipgetcapabilities="true"
                type="wms" visible="false" alpha="0.75" wkid="4326" version="1.1.1"
                visiblelayer="PPR_INONDATION_LOIRE_ALEA" url="http://cartorisque.prim.net/wms/45?" />

But that really does not matter as that WMS Service only supports geographic and therefore will not work with cached WebMercator basemaps.

All the layers in your map should be using the same or equivalent wkids so you'll need to find a common wkid supported by all the layers in your map. If your other layers are cached using web mercator and this wms service only supports geographic, then you will not be able to use them together.

Thank Robert for your answer, I've been to the hospital for a few weeks following a small accident.

I installed GeoServer to replace ArcGis Server (no money).

My WMS service is normally active in the WGS84 system, epsg:4326

Exemple of a png8

http://164.131.66.41:8080/geoserver/pa_r24/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=pa_r24:PA_R24_WGS84&styles=&bbox=0.1678363683063418,46.42592297794497,3.0523593970537823,48.85275635178365&width=512&height=430&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image%2Fpng8

In the config.xml
I left only this layer, but nothing is displayed, I have no basemap, only one operationnal layer, written that way.

<layer
                label="Etablissements PA en Région Centre" skipgetcapabilities="true"
                type="wms" visible="true" alpha="0.75" wkid="4326" version="1.1.0"
                visiblelayer="pa_r24" url="http://164.131.66.41:8080/geoserver/pa_r24/wms?" />

I dont understand, thanks guy for helping.
