Does WMS layer supports info window or popup?

[SunilPalkar]

Hi All,

I wanted to know if WMS layer supports info window or popup?

I am using Geo-server WMS  on the top-of ArcGIS  and I need attribute information of the  WMS layer.

I am wondering because in open layers its showing. Please let me know..

If yes can you please share the sample.

Thank you in advance : )

An OGC WMS can (optionally) support GetFeatureInfo requests, the structure of the response is not defined by the spec:

The actual semantics of how a WMS decides what to return more information about, or what exactly to return, are left up to the WMS provider.

AFAIK there are no components in the JSAPI at present that will perform a GetFeatureInfo request let alone handle the response for you.

You'll have to do it yourself or find something someone else has written and incorporate that in your app.

Thanks for your reply..

Hmm...It looks like I need to write function  which fetch value from (Database) and give it back to info window..

Thanks a lot ...

Hello,

I have tried using creating function but its not working. We have few clients  and they do not have ArcGIS Server...

So I think  Esri  does not  support external wms +getfeatureinfo() request +info window.

So sad .. : (
