Re: [udig-devel] can uDig access the wms_abstract attribute?
|
Hi I'd guess that you are connected to the web, if you are able I'd
recommend you upgrade to 1.0.1 or higher there are some decent
useability bugs (especially 1.0.3) that will make it easier for you.
Also 1.0.1 and higher have a update feature so you can easy upgrade to
the newest version :)

I'm using uDig 1.0.0 on Windows. I'm learning how to set up WMS
servers, and use them in clients. I've set up a simple map file with
a Mapserver 4.0 (yes, ancient) server, with two point layers. Each
of the layers has a wms_abstract attribute in the LAYER > METADATA
element. I can load and display the layers in uDig and ArcMap 9.0
without problems. ArcMap will show me the wms_abstract attribute,
but I can't find a way to see it in uDig. Even the layer wms_title
seems only partly available: it's used by default to assign the
layer name, but I can't see it listed when I select the layer (under
either Layers or Catalog) and go to Analysis > Information >
Resource Summary.
Funny you should ask I am hacking at WMS Layers in udig right now,
right now uDig only shows you leaf layers. I am switching it over so
it can reveal the parent/child relationships.
Well, I'm glad to point out timely issues!
Am I missing something? I'd like to use uDig as a client for
thoroughly testing my WMS server implementation.
You are not missing anything, as an application uDig only shows a
small slice of "dublin core" style metadata.
The actual information you want is available at a programatic level.
If it is important for you you can quickly copy the tool you
mentioned above to show you the contents of the WMS Layer.
I don't know what you mean; what exactly do I copy? BTW, I'm using the
Windows installation package you guys distribute; I'm not a
Java/Eclipse developer.
I doubt this makes any difference, but just in case, here's my
GetCapabilities URL:
http://basin.ocean.washington.edu/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/emilio/mapserv/snoco/swm_wms.map&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities
Thanks for your reply. Cheers,
