[GIS] correct link for adding GeoServer WFS to ArcMap

Question

What is the correct URL to enter in ArcCatalog WFS parameters when adding a WFS layer from GeoServer into ArcMap?

Here's a link to our GetCapabilities document:

https://weaveprod.ucdp.utah.edu/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities

I am using ArcMap 10.1 and experiencing the same problem described here. When I try to add WFS layers from GeoServer, "Feature Types" is blank. That post says it is a bug with 10.1. However, I added WFS from GeoServer not long ago, so I'm skeptical that the answer is to applicable to 10.2. The only thing that changed was our GeoServer location.

I was able to bring in WFS layers from:

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswfs_gmap?version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities&service=WFS.

Although that is not GeoServer, I previously had GeoServer WFS working fine.

Here's an image of one URL I tried (which was:

https://weaveprod.ucdp.utah.edu/geoserver/sf/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature?

No matter how I change it, no layers are coming up in feature types. There shouldn't be any problem with my WFS layers because I can preview them as WFS through GeoServer.

Answer 1

I was able to add the data.

I am using ArcGIS 10.3.1, using the Data Interopability Connection, and I was able to bring in the bugsite feature class.
