WMS Service
Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard set forth by the Open Geospatial Consortium that defines how client applications can obtain map images from a server that is compatible with the standard.
JMap Server can act as a WMS server. If you implement a WMS web service, other applications can query JMap Server via the WMS protocol for the selected project.
Application options |
|
Project |
Select the JMap project that will be accessible via the WMS service. |
Controlled access |
Select this option if the WMS service must be secured through HTTP authentication. The selected project must allow anonymous access if this option is not selected. |
Once the service has been deployed, you can click on Launch to display a web page containing 2 hyperlinks: the first one is the getCapabilities request you must provide to the applications that wish to query JMap's WMS service. The second one is an example of a getMap request that allows you to obtain a map image.
WFS Service
Web Feature Service (WFS) is a standard presented by the Open Geospatial Consortium that defines how client applications can obtain vector data and its attributes (GML format) from a server that is compatible with WFS.
JMap Server can act as a WFS server. If you implement a WFS web service, other applications can query JMap Server via the WFS protocol for the selected project.
Application options |
|
Project |
Select the JMap project that will be accessible via the WFS service. |
Controlled access |
Select this option if the WFS service must be secured through HTTP authentication. The selected project must allow anonymous access if this option is not selected. |
Once the service has been deployed, you can click on Launch to display a web page containing a hyperlink towards the getCapabilities request you must provide to the applications that wish to query JMap's WFS service.
