Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer WFS/ArcGIS 10.1

2013-02-07 Thread Jeff McKenna
John I think it would be great if you took the time to create a Serving
data through OGC/MapServer to ArcGIS 10 page on our wiki
(https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki).  You can add
screen-captures, mapfile snippets, or anything your heart desires.  For
an example see
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/RenderingOsmDataWindows

Thanks!

Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer WFS/ArcGIS 10.1

2013-02-07 Thread John Abraham
I've created a wiki page about using the mapserver WFS with ArcGIS:

https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/WFS-Server-working-with-ArcGIS-Data-Interoperability-Extensions

Steve, there's not much else in my mapfile other than what's on the wiki page.  
I have a couple of include statements that include other layers (some roads 
for context, some barcharts for the WMS), but the example layer is the one that 
feeds data properly to the WFS clients. I'll be happy to send you the full 
mapfile if you still need it, but I don't want to post all the extra detail on 
the wiki.  Please update the wiki if you learn more.

Excellent!  Don't forget to reference your new wiki pages on the wiki
homepage: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki

Thanks (for taking the time to document),

Interesting Steve, have you checked Apache's access_log on your
MapServer machine to see the exact request being sent?  That might give
us a hint of the Arc magic going on.

Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer WFS/ArcGIS 10.1

2013-02-06 Thread John Abraham
I have it working after struggling for a few days.  A big part of it was that 
the mapserver documentation didn't specify the right string for double/float 
types.  The GML type needs to be xsd:double.  

I filed a ticket to improve the mapserver documentation on this, not sure if 
that ticket went anywhere.

Try that and copy me personally on any followup to the list.
