Re: [mapserver-users] mapserver-users Digest, Vol 54, Issue 5
Flavio, Thank you very much for sharing. Just like Mike's, your information is also very helpful. I really appreciate it. Follow your link, I see a rich inventory of web services offered by ESRI, which are available through ARCGIS Server API interface. If I understand it correctly, I need to have ARC GIS Server in order to use those web services in my web application or in my smart phone application developed with SDK. Do let me know if I am wrong. The use of Map Service Layers created with MapServer on the other hand doesn't require any expensive software. However, there is no big player like ESRI to compile a list of MapServer map service layers out there in the world. This leads to my other question. I know I can load MapServer map service layers into all kinds of desktop clients such as UDig, QGIS, etc. How about service layers created by ARCGIS Server? Can I do the same thing?

ArcGIS server can be faster to start with, since you are composing your maps graphically, but I find the MapServer mapfile editing much (much) faster for repetitive operations. I can script and copy/paste and (with includes) reuse more styling. With ArcGIS Server, for anything other that setting basic colors, I find it much slower and quite tedious. I find that MapServer works at small or large scale, I run into issues with ArcGIS server at large scales (lots of data and lots of services). Then there is the fact that ArcGIS will change on you over time and the whole architecture can go away and any time. In the time we have been doing MapServer (coming up on 12 years now), ESRI has gone through 6 different (and incompatible) web mapping engines. Our mapserver stuff still works. Something to think about when you are in it for the long haul. Also, when something critical has come up and I need a fix NOW, I have both made my own code changes and requested fixes from the community and had responses within hours (sometimes minutes). That is just not possible with ArcGIS Server. MapServer has a truly impressive community with both enthusiasts and mature business providing development and support (MapGears and Gateway Geomatics are two that I am very familiar with and they are top notch). We are a government agency and MapServer is production code for us, for over a decade. And we serve out a lot of data with it.

Thank you, Olivier. The TinyOWS version is 1.0.0rc1. I can load both WFS and WMS layers in desktop clients such as QGIS and UDIG. I did activate the error log for TinyOWS. It is just that nothing got logged. My TinyOWS configuration is as follows: tinyows online_resource=http://127.0.0.1:8080/cgi-bin/tinyows.exe; schema_dir=/towsschema/ check_schema=0 log=/mstmp/tows.log log_level=1 #here /towsschema/ and /mstmp/ are alias I defined in apache configuration. I changed it into directory in windows as C:\..\.., it makes no difference anyway. pg host=127.0.0.1 user=*** password=*** dbname=*** port=5432/ metadata name=TinyOWS Server title=TinyOWS Server - Demo Service / layer retrievable=1 writable=0 ns_prefix=tows ns_uri=http://127.0.0.1:8080/; schema=transit name=lightrail srid=2227 title=lightrail / layer retrievable=1 writable=0 ns_prefix=tows ns_uri=http://127.0.0.1:8080/; schema=transit name=lrtstops srid=2227 title=LRT Stops / /tinyows I thought the existence of multiple versions of python might be the problem. The python 2.5 is used by QGIS and GRASS, installed as part of the bundle in the OSGEO4W package. Another is a standalone installation of Python2.7, which is specified as the interpreter for Proxy.CGi. So I started to uninstall and reinstall python and QGIS multiple times. It didn't solve the problem. WFS layer is still not showing in OpenLayers while WMS layer is. Somehow it did change the error message. Now I got Internal Server Error.
