I recognise that this is as much an ArcGIS question as it is GeoServer, so I will put something on the ESRI forums also, but I find the ESRI forums surprisingly poor for actually resolving ArcGIS problems.
I am connecting ArcGIS (v10, SP3) to a GeoServer (2.1.3) WFS through its Data Interoperability Extension. The extension is unlicensed, but a license isn't required for basic WFS data retrieval. The DIE has two ways of retrieving data - simple GML features and WFS. Simple GML will always cache the data (24 hours?) but WFS gives the option of always getting live data from GeoServer - this is what I need. I set up the connection and added a GeoServer WFS resource to the ArcMap table of contents, but when I open the attribute table every single attribute is listed as null. I did some digging and found that ArcMap is making a GetFeature request for every visible row in the attribute table and is using the Filter structure in request parameters. Filters look like this: <ogc:Filter><ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo><ogc:PropertyName>local:ID</ogc:PropertyName><ogc:Literal>149</ogc:Literal></ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo></ogc:Filter> GeoServer errors with a parsing exception - it doesn't understand the ogc: prefix because "The prefix "ogc" for element "ogc:Filter" is not bound". If I send the same request but without the ogc: prefix the response is as expected. So to see live GeoServer WFS data in ArcMap I need to either 1) configure ArcMap to not use the ogc: prefix on Filter, or 2) configure GeoServer to not complain when the ogc: prefix is provided. Given that ArcMap and GeoServer are both quite common I was hoping this issue had come up before, but so far I've found nothing. Any suggestions are very welcome. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/GeoServer-WFS-in-ArcMap-via-Data-Interoperability-Extension-ogc-filter-errors-tp4564175p4564175.html Sent from the GeoServer - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Geoserver-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-users
