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.
Andrea.

Hi,
I'm having more user to report that the WMS MapServer is not shpwed on
arcgis desktop.
After a check I see that the issue i due to the fact that arcgis
desktop when see a sublayer of a layer think that the layer is a
folder (not a layer) and so
it refuse to call it.
Is this a knowed incompatibility between mapserver wms and arcgis ?
Don't know if it's relevant, but I've been reading the portion of the WMS
spec concerning
nested layers just a few days ago.
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
