WFS and WMS Services

WFS and WMS services consume JMap Web type sessions.

Your license must contain JMap Web sessions if you want to deploy WFS or WMS services.

The JMap Server Status section contains more details about sessions.

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.

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.

Advanced
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing	Check this box if the application should be embedded in a website whose domain name (DNS) is different from that of the application.

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.

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.

Advanced
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing	Check this box if the application should be embedded in a website whose domain name (DNS) is different from that of the application

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.
