When nesting layers there are two cases: - the parent layer has a Title, but not a Name. This is known as "containing category", it helps categorizing the layers but cannot be called directly - the parent layer has a Name, in such case it is callable and when requested it should build a map with all the children So, by my understanding of the spec, if your parent Layer does not have a Name ArcGis is right in not calling it, but if it has a Name, then it's a bug in ArcGis. Hope this helps Cheers Andrea -- == Our support, Your Success! Visit http://opensdi.geo-solutions.it for more information. == Ing. Andrea Aime @geowolf Technical Lead GeoSolutions S.A.S.
