ArcMap 10.1 Add WCS Server unable to consume OGC CITE Reference Implementations

[GraemeBrowning]

At http://cite.opengeospatial.org/reference there are reference implementations of WCS for 1.0.0 (deegree) and 1.1.1 (GeoServer).

When I try to consume either I get errors:

• 1.0.0 - Get Coverages => Unspecified Error - I don't know why the URL has version of 1.1.0 when it says that should be 1.0.0 but I tried all version options


• 1.1.1 - Get Coverages works OK but try to add any of the three layers and it gives "A selected item could not be added to the map  Failed to open raster dataset"

Has anybody been able to get ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1 to consume the OGC CITE Reference Implementations of WCS 1.0.0 or 1.1.1?

Hi,
I tried also several WCS services (10.1 ArcMap) and none of them is responding like you say.
When you install Fiddler you can monitor the web trafic and see what request ArcMap gives.
For example I tried the geoserver reference service:

http://cite.demo.opengeo.org:8080/geoserver_wcs11/wcs?request=getcapabilities&service=wcs&version=1....

<ows:ExceptionText>
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The specified dimensional parameter is non-positive. The specified dimensional parameter is non-positive.
</ows:ExceptionText>

You can try this in you own situation.
