Hi Andrea. Is exactly as you say.
Arcgis refuse to call The fact is exactly this. Wrong to understand a Layer with Name. If a layer has some sublayer , arcgis call the sublayers but skip the layer himself This happened both case with name and without name. So arcgis think that a layer is always a "containing category" always if it has some sublayers. > 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. Ok, so this is an arcgis bug. But I'm not sure that the esri think this is a bug . :) Because arcgis 9.3 is a old release and their service pack never resolve this. Instead esri release a specific version of arcgis named "arcgis for inspire" Now I try to find a work-around for this bug. In the MapServer configuration, i don't like to lost all the arcgis 9.3 users.
