ArcExplorer—Java Edition |
An ArcIMS Spatial Server can serve a Feature Service or an Image Service. You can use ArcExplorer to view a service.
A Feature Service uses the Spatial Server's feature streaming capabilities. The server bundles data and streams it to the requesting client. Requests are sent to a Spatial Server only when additional data is needed.
Image Services use the Spatial Server image rendering capabilities. When a request is received, a map is generated on the server, and the response is sent back as an image. A new map image is generated each time a client requests new information.
Typing a service name on the WWW Connection dialog box is optional. If you do not specify a service name, you will be connected to all the services.
