public final class WmsLayer extends ImageAdjustmentLayer implements RemoteResource, TimeAware
A layer that can visualize data from a WMS service.

Web Map Service (WMS) is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard for delivering map images from an online service. {code WMSLayer} displays data from a web service that provides maps in the form of server-rendered images. The service may be hosted in ArcGIS Enterprise or in a third party server. This API supports WMS versions 1.1.0, 1.1.1, and 1.3.0.

Functional characteristics

A WMS service can contain multiple layers in a hierarchy. A WMS layer can be constructed directly with a URL to a service and the uniquely identifying name of the desired layer. Alternatively, a WmsService can be used to programmatically explore the available layers and allow the user to choose layers at run time.

The maps provided by a WMS service use predefined symbology defined by the server. As a result, it is not possible to apply custom renderers or to visualize feature selection. WMS layers can have multiple style options. Your app can choose from the available styles.

Some layers can be marked as opaque, which means that they cover most of the map area and are good candidates for use as a basemap.

WMS layers support identify and time. They do not support selection or query. Note that due to the nature of WMS, it is not possible to retrieve feature geometry from WMS identify results. WMS layers support custom parameters, which can be specified for the service or an individual layer.

Performance characteristics

WMS servers render map images on demand, which can require more server resources than a similar tiled service. WMS requires a service connection at all times.
