ArcGIS WS

Description

The ArcGIS Server Web Service map engine component provides a means for the Weave server to generate maps using ArcGIS Server via its web service API. This has the advantage over the direct ArcGIS Server map engine because it does not require any additional components to be installed on the server while still providing the same level of functionality (hence the direct connect component being made obsolete)

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:8399/arcgis/services/Topo250/MapServer}}

map

string

no

the first map

The name of the map within the map service to connect to if there is more than one. This is not the map service name, which is included the url, but the name of a map within the .mxd file itself. Generally this does not need to be set at all.

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

crs

string

no

 

Override the coordinate reference system supplied by ArcGIS

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 it drawn
