WMS Layer in Flex Viewer

ZahidChaudhry — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:17:13 GMT

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

Thanks

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.

Try:

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

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

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

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!

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.

Re: WMS Layer in Flex Viewer

FrankRoberts — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:57:22 GMT

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,

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>

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?

Re: WMS Layer in Flex Viewer

DasaPaddock — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:53:29 GMT

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

visiblelayers="LINFOSNRW"

Re: WMS Layer in Flex Viewer

YvonneDeus — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 06:07:15 GMT

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?

Re: WMS Layer in Flex Viewer

DasaPaddock — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:52:35 GMT

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?

Re: WMS Layer in Flex Viewer

YvonneDeus — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 07:06:46 GMT

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

Re: WMS Layer in Flex Viewer

KathrynSmith — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 15:17:36 GMT

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?

Re: WMS Layer in Flex Viewer

DasaPaddock — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:03:27 GMT

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"/>
