-====== Web Based Resources ======+====== Web-based Resources ======
  
-Web based resources are commonly used for online serving of GIS data, both for vector and image resources. \\ +This portal page provides access to all documentation related to support for web-based resources. \\ 
-Orbit supports Web Map Services, Web Map Tile Services, Web Feature Services and Tile Map Services.+Orbit supports Web Map Services, Web Map Tile Services, Web Feature Services, and Tile Map Services.
  
-===== Web Services=====+===== Web Map and Web Feature Services =====
  
-Web Map Service (WMS), Web Map Tile Services (WMTS) and Web Feature Service (WFS) are the standard protocols of the [[http://www.opengeospatial.org/|Open Geospatial Consortium]] for serving, viewing or editing georeferenced map images  and geographical features over the the internet or Intranet using platform-independent calls.+Web Map Service (WMS), Web Map Tile Services (WMTS), and Web Feature Service (WFS) are the standard protocols of the Open Geospatial Consortium for serving, viewing, or editing georeferenced map images and geographical features over the internet or Intranet using platform-independent calls.
  
-A WMS, WMTS serves georeference map data only. A WFS returns both spatial features and attribute information. This makes it possible to use a WFS dataset for spatial analyses, attribute viewing and if allowed to edit and update the dataset.+More information:

-Orbit provides 2 options to connect and load a web service layer. We highly recommend the first option, using a file based connection :+=== Supported versions ===
  
-**Web service resource connection file** \\ +  * WMS versions 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 
-Filed based connection to one specific layer of a well defined web service. +  * WMTS version 1.0.0 
-  * [[technology:supported_formats:image:owxs|]].+  * WFS versions 1.1.0, 2.0.0
  
-**Resource Browser service connection** \\ +=== Remarks ===
-Establish the Web service connection and add one ore more available web service resources. \\ +
-This user interface method is useful for initial testing of a service and its resources.+

-  * Orbit desktop : [[171:desktop:workspace:resource_library|Library]] > Web +  * Supported object types (WFS) \\ Orbit's engine supports only the vector-based variant of the following WFS Object types: \\ Point, MultiPoint, LineString, MultiLineString, Curve, MultiCurve, Surface, MultiSurface, Polygon, MultiPolygon 
-  * Orbit EOS server : [[171:server:console:resources:datasets_setup|]]+  * Internal resource name \\ No point "." characters allowed in web resource internal name. \\  Check the internal name via [[dev:desktop:dataset:general|Dataset Properties > General > Dataset]] : <Orbit web service name>.<internal web service resource name> . \\ If the internal name contains one or more points then the resource cannot be used.
  
 +==== Orbit Connection to WebService ====

-Currently Orbit supports : +Establish the connection using an Orbit configuration file to a well-defined WebService Layer. \\  
-  * WMS versions 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 +This file-based configuration is supported by all products and today's recommended solution. 
-  * WMTS version 1.0.0 +
-  * WFS versions 1.1.0, the support of version 2.0 is on our wishlist. Let us know if you are interested. +

-If a network connection is successful, but Orbit can't load resource, most probably the Orbit application is not allowed to get online/network access due to an internal internet security application (e.g. aXsGUARD Gatekeeper from Vasco). The network and/or local computer administrator need to adjust your security settings or configure a proxy to be used by Orbit : +===== IT Troubleshooting ===== 
 + 
 +This paragraph documents common IT issues related to loading web resources.  
 + 
 +==== SSL Trusted Authority ==== 
 + 
 +When loading web resources via a secured HTTPS connection, the website's Security Certificate must be available to the Java Runtime Engine used by Orbit. \\  
 +If the certificate is not known to the Java Runtime Engine, the following message is printed in the [[dev:technology:platforms:logfiles|Orbit logfile]]: 
 +  javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:  
 +  sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed 
 +  sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
