Browse a WFS service for layers and add them to the map.
Use case
Services often have multiple layers available for display. For example, a feature service for a city might have layers representing roads, landmasses, building footprints, parks, and facilities. A user can choose to only show the road network and parks for a park accessibility analysis.
How to use the sample
A list of layers in the WFS service will be shown. Select a layer to display.
Some WFS services return coordinates in X,Y order, while others return coordinates in lat/long (Y,X) order. If you don’t see features rendered or you see features in the wrong location, use the checkbox to change the coordinate order and reload.
How it works
- Create a
WFSServiceobject with a URL to a WFS feature service. - Obtain an array of
WFSLayerInfoobjects usingWFSServiceInfo.layerInfos. - When a layer is selected, create a
WFSFeatureTableinstance with the selectedWFSLayerInfoobject.- Set the axis order if necessary.
- Create a feature layer from the feature table.
- Add the feature layer to the map.
