feature service

  1. [ESRI software] A service that uses the ArcIMS spatial server feature streaming capabilities. The server bundles data and streams it to the requesting client. Since more of the processing is done in the Java applet, requests are sent to an ArcIMS spatial server only when additional data is needed.
