Warning message if a service is not responding or temporarily unavailable

[brosenbaum]

In Flex, we had a pop-up that would warn the user of service that would be unavailable for the session based on a response status at the initial configuration xml. Since this may not be as much of an issue with JavaScript, the request is a little different:

Would like to have some warning pop-up - if a layer is selected - that the service may be temporarily unavailable if there is no response from the server.

Unavailable layers could be tested by the first 4 layers in topic "Crop Productivity".
File config.json in LocalLayer will be reversed by after testing.

Move to Add Data Drawer, otherwise awesome!

Per client feedback - widget should have two different sections - one for enviroatlas.epa.gov services, and a second for everything else. Old flex application has boilerplate text for each. Maybe button that could trigger an email to our team with the list of problem services.

so... here's some info from the flex code. Currently not working in the latest version. The text is in the flex code...

Popup_for_missing_services.txt

Barb is going to provide some revised text for two sections - one addressing internal services that we control and one addressing external services that we may not be able to control. Failed services should be grouped accordingly into two sections in the dialog. Notification emails are addressed in a different ticket #355

here is some text cleaned up from several versions. I put a note about the emailing, we can leave it in or take it out - I'm fine either way.

"The following web service(s) failed to load at this time and may be unavailable for this session.

For web services hosted outside of the EnviroAtlas hosting environment, EnviroAtlas is not responsible for the performance of these services:
{list of anything not https://enviroatlas.epa.gov/arcgis/rest/services or https://enviroatlas2.epa.gov/arcgis/rest/services}

For EnviroAtlas services, an email will be sent notifying administrators of these issues:
{list of all non-functioning https://enviroatlas.epa.gov/arcgis/rest/services or https://enviroatlas2.epa.gov/arcgis/rest/services}"

[torrin47]

Let's put this on the back burner for now, it's working pretty well as is, and we may have fewer and fewer failed layers as we clean up the config files.

[brosenbaum]

is this still an "MVP" item?

[torrin47]

We removed the MVP label a while back, but kept it in the backlog because external services that should have been working were not. But at this point I think it's all working, and the outstanding work on this issue was just the email functionality, which can definitely wait until after this release.
