Robert, your request is not returning data if you try it independent of 
mapserver. 

 

You need to add a where option it seems. Try

 

gdal vector info --if esrijson 
https://services.arcgis.com/xdsHIIxuCWByZiCB/ArcGIS/rest/services/LINZ_NZ_Property_Boundaries/FeatureServer/0/query\?where\=objectID%3E%3D0\&f\=pgeojson

 

which returns: "featureCount":2732041,

Or keep the resultRecordCount to limit

Thanks Seth! Good to know it can work. Still trying to get it to show anything. 
Here is my layer:

 

LAYER

  NAME "NZ_Property"

  TYPE POLYGON

  STATUS DEFAULT

  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR

  CONNECTION 
https://services.arcgis.com/xdsHIIxuCWByZiCB/arcgis/rest/services/LINZ_NZ_Property_Boundaries/FeatureServer/0/query?resultRecordCount=100&f=geoJSON

  PROJECTION

   "init=epsg:2193"

  END

  CLASS

      STYLE

         WIDTH 2

         COLOR 255 255 0

         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0

      END

  END

END

 

Mapserver v. 8.2.2 is not showing any error messages even though I have DEBUG 5 
on my map. The layer projection matches the MAP projection. According to the 
documentation for the site, Supported query Formats: JSON, geoJSON, PBF

 

Thanks

 

Robert

Hi Robert,

 

This works, but renders very slowly. It uses 
https://gdal.org/en/stable/drivers/vector/esrijson.html underneath. 

 

map2img -m arcgis.map -o map.png

 

MAP

    NAME "PoolPermits"

    EXTENT -13075816 4014771 -13073005 4016869

    SIZE 400 400

    PROJECTION

        "init=epsg:3857"

    END

    LAYER

        NAME "buildings"

        TYPE POLYGON

        STATUS DEFAULT

        CONNECTIONTYPE OGR

        CONNECTION 
"https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/PoolPermits/FeatureServer/0/query?resultRecordCount=10&f=pjson";

        CLASS

            STYLE

                COLOR 246 241 223

                OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0

            END

        END

    END

END

Hi All

 

Does anyone have an example of setting up a layer in a Mapfile to cascade an 
ArcGIS FeatureService REST endpoint?

 

Many thanks
