Name

Type

Required

Default

Description

id

string

yes


Unique identifier for this map engine, will be used by other items to refer to this map engine

url

string

yes


The URL used to connect to the ArcGIS server, e.g. http://vmbreakout:6080/arcgis/rest/services/Topo250/MapServer

mapcache

boolean

no

false

Should a tile cache be used (if it's available). If this is false or not set then any tile cache generated for the map service won't be used

username

string

no


A username to connect to the server as

password

string

no


A password to connect to the server as, should be encrypted using 'encrypt' at the OSGi prompt

usename

boolean

no

false

Use the layer name to refer to individual layers, especially useful when building a ToC model since the names don't change as often as the id. You should ensure that the layer name is unique if you set this to true. If not set or set to false then the layer identifiers for each layer (which are used in ToC models, amongst other things) will be taken from the order that the layer appears within the .mxd file, which can change if layers are added/removed from the .mxd file. If set to true then the label that appears in the .mxd file will be used as the identifier instead

transparent

boolean

no

false

If true then ArcGIS is asked to generate an image that is transparent where no map data is drawn

layersurn:layersno
Alter the layer information from ArcGIS
legendurn:legendno
Alter the display of the legend
directbooleannofalseIf true then Weave will send the URL's returned from ArcGIS directly to the client rather than proxying them on behalf of ArcGIS. This will help performance if ArcGIS is accessed internally and the clients can access the URL's the ArcGIS returns.
refererstringno

Referer header value when sending HTTP requests to ArcGIS server (since com.cohga.server.map.arcgis.ws bundle version 2.38.48)

This is useful if ArcGIS server filters all requests by header value by comparing the referer domain against a list of white-listed domains.whitelisted domains.

It is probably better to set the referer value in the tokenservice config, since chances are that it is really just required as part of authentication token generation, and not just general request filtering, but if you are performing request filtering in ArcGIS based on the referer header then you should set it here (and probably in the token service config too unless you're using IP or Request IP ).

ignoregroupsbooleannotrue

Should Weave ignore the groups when working with ArcGIS map documents.

When Weave works with map layers it only deals with the layers themselves, groups don't come into play until you start creating a ToC model, and even then the grouping in ToC models is not used when referring to map layers (they're only used internally on the client to turn on/off a collection of individual layers). Normally this works fine for ArcGIS as Weave will ensure that if a layer is "visible", then all of its parent groups (on the ArcGIS side) will also be turned on. This ensures that the layer is actually visible (as a layer won't be displayed if it's visible but one or more of its parents aren't). This way you can setup your AGS map document however you want (with or without groups) and have the Weave ToC model be the single source of group related information for the ToC panel, and then Weave will ensure that the map layers that need to be drawn are drawn.

However, sometimes it's desirable to have Weave recognize the groups (that's the ArcGIS map document groups, not ToC model groups) and have them treated as layers. By setting ignoregroups to false Weave will include entries in the map engine description for the groups as well as for the layers. In this case the ToC model and the ArcGIS map document groups will, in combination, be responsible for determining whether a layer is visible or not.

usernamestringno
Username used to generate tokens. You should no set this, but instead include it in the tokenservice configuration
passwordstringno
Password used to generate tokens.  You should no set this, but instead include it in the tokenservice configuration
tokenservicestring or urn:tokenserviceno
This can be a simple string providing the token service URL to override the one provided by ArcGIS, in which case you will need to set username and password properties above too, but you should use this as a sub-tag and include all the required information inside of that instead.


...

NameTypeRequiredDescription
usernamestringnoUsed with password when requesting a token from ArcGIS
passwordstringnoUsed with username when requesting a token from ArcGIS
tokenstringnoCan be provided instead of username and password and will be used when requesting a token from ArcGIS
urlstringno

To override Override the token generation endpoint that ArcGIS provides you can set this value to the URL to use instead.

timeoutintegerno

Number of seconds to timeout connections and requests sent to the token generation endpoint
default Default is 0, which mean use the default system timeout
This sets both connectiontimeout and readtimeout, use those rather than this if you want different values for each

connectiontimeoutintegernoNumber of seconds to timeout the connections to the token service
readtimeoutintegernoNumber of seconds to timeout requests sent to the token service

Notes

Any additional properties specified in the token service config will be included in the request sent to ArcGIS to generate the tokens, this can include things like referer if the token service requires a referer value

Either username and password must be provided, or just token.

...

  • if the value starts with "https://" or "http://" (you should really not use http://) the value will be used as is.
  • if the value starts with "//" then "https:" will be prepended to the value.
  • if otherwise the value will be prepended with the schema, host and port used for the map service itself
  • if the value is not set Weave will query ArcGIS (based on the map engine URL) for the URL to use
