I need to use military symbology for a WFS hosted on Geoserver in Web Map. Is this possible? how?
Hi,
Yes, this is possible in web maps used in our latest web applications based on the JavaScript 4.x API (MapViewer, Dashboards, Experience Builder, ...). This is not supported in Web AppBuilder, Map Viewer Classic, Dashboards Classic. Right now it involves using ArcGIS Pro to author the web map with military symbology using the Dictionary Renderer. Authoring layers with the Dictionary Renderer is not yet supported in the Map Viewer (but we're working on it!).
If you are using ArcGIS Enterprise, if not already available, you can publish a military dictionary desktop style (released with Pro) as a web style by: choosing the symbol standard you want to publish in the Dictionary drop down, clicking on the "More" drop-down and choosing "Add dictionary to project", switching to the Catalog pane where you should now see the military style under "Styles", right-click and choose "Share as Web Style". This will create a new portal item in Enterprise, which you should now be able to search for and added in the Symbology pane as in Step 4.
As mentioned above, this web map will work in modern ArcGIS web apps based on the JavaScript API 4.x.
Here is an example of a web map showing the dictionary renderer on a WFS layer:

Please let me know if you have any questions or if this workflow doesn't work for you.
Thanks,
Kerry
