I have an WMS layer which is a cross domain resource and I wanted to embed those layers as basemap in my application using JavaScript api rather than using built in ArcGIS Basemaps.
WMS Layer is complaint with OGC WMS specification & it has 5 different layers of Aerial photography images.
If it is possible, can you add these layers a basemaps in my application. Can you please piont me in the right direction.
You can't add a custom Layer as A BaseMap. What you can do is to initialise the Map without an BaseMap, and then add the WMS Layer.
You can include a WMS layer in your ESRI JSAPI app, by using the esri.layers.WMSLayer class.
Here is how you can do it:
var layer1 = new esri.layers.WMSLayerInfo({name:"1",title:"Rivers"});
var layer2 = new esri.layers.WMSLayerInfo({name:"2",title:"Cities"});
var wmsLayer = new esri.layers.WMSLayer(
"http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/services/Specialty/ESRI_StatesCitiesRivers_USA/MapServer/WMSServer",
{resourceInfo: resourceInfo,
visibleLayers: ["1","2"]
}
);
map.addLayers([wmsLayer]);
A sample is available here: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/layers_wmsresourceinfo.html
