[Geoserver-users] How can i use the map data or files of arcgis server?

GeoServer GeoServer User

Customer has a ArcGis server application. I want to bulid a new application
in GeoServer by use customer's ArcGis server map files or map data. How can
i use the map data or files of arcgis server?

I found that ArcSde is spatial database engine. But the customer GIS
application is using the map data which ArcGis server published files, like
mxd or other format files. The customer didn't use ArcSde. If GeoServer
cann't use the ArcGis server map sevice directly, how can GeoServer use the
mxd files? Or, how can GeoServer use the files through arcsde?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Unfortunately GeoServer can not use these files directly. The best GeoServer can do is talk directly to an ArcSDE instance.

Justin,

ArcSde is a spatial data engine. How can I change these map files into
ArcSde format? Which tool can do it?

I don't know myself, my exposure to the esri tool chain has been quite limited. But there are some very experienced and knowledgeable people on this list that can hopefully help.

Hi, maybe I can help clarify.
An .mxd is a map document that references data sources.
Those data sources can be a lot of different things - from shapefiles to
SDE to GeoServer WMS as well.
If your customer has ArcGIS Server perhaps their data is shapefiles.
If ArcGIS Server is used I'm not sure why you'd need GeoServer then -
both are map servers.

At our site we have SDE -> GeoServer
and also SDE -> ArcIMS
We'll probably setup SDE -> ArcGIS Server for some specific .mxd
involving modeling or some such.

According to this thread
(http://www.nabble.com/Wfs-precision-tp9927220p9927220.html) the wfs
output precision can be configured at this url:
http://localhost:8088/geoserver/config/server.do .

However any change I make to the "Number of Decimals:" field does not
seem to have any impact on the precision of the coordinates in a
GetFeature response.

Am I missing something?

Afaik that works only in WFS 1.0 responses, where the type of each
coordinate is xs:decimal, whereas in WFS 1.1 the type is xs:double,
and there is no precision limits enabled (it could be done, but it
would make GML3 output even slower...)

Cheers

I was thinking about this the other day, and indeed it is something we should address. Is there a jira open for this. If not, Tim would you mind opening one for us? Thanks.

I didn’t study gis before. But now i have to finish the project. My purpose is to build a web application that can match any type map data,like arcgis, mapinfo, and so on. Then, we can use geoserver and openlayers as client. It’s transparent for user. When the application use in orther type map data, we just need to modify the connect to the map data. So wen cann’t use the exist arcgis server. But we want to use its map data.

For Arcgis type, Shapefiles is well for Geoserver. But how can i deal with others type files? Geoserver is support arcsde. How can i get the arcgis map data through arcsde? Can you give me some example?

Thanks you in advance.

GeoServer can serve a lot of different data types - GeoServer is free, whereas SDE is not. You might want to start by installing GeoServer and trying to load some different data types into it. Then you can write a client to access the data through GeoServer.
