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)

Properties
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. |
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 |

Type |
Required |
Description |
id |
number |
no |
The id of the layer to match |
name |
string |
no |
The name of the layer to match |
Sub-tags
None
Content
The id or name, depending upon the usename
property, of the layer to match
Notes
- The
layer
tag support two formats, one using theid
and/orname
attributes and the other using the tags content - Either one or both of the
id
and/orname
attributes must be set OR tag content must be provided - If the content of the
layer
tag is used then the value of theusename
property determines if the content should match the layer id or the layer name - Both the
id
andname
attributes can be set, but they must match both values for the layer that you're trying to filter or they won't match the layer
