[udig-devel] Method to directly acquire a layer from WMS

["Joe Dente" <jdente@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I’ve been playing around with directly acquiring a layer from my WMS server using the following code:

 

URL1 = new URL( “http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?lService=WMS&Version=1.1.1&Request=GetCapabilities” )

URL2 = new URL( “http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?lService=WMS&Version=1.1.1&Request=GetCapabilities#tiger:tiger_roads” )

 

CatalogPlugin catalog = CatalogPlugin.getDefault();

IServiceFactory factory = catalog.getServiceFactory();

IResolve resolve1 = factory.acquire(URL1);

IResolve resolve2 = factory.acquire(URL2);

 

According to the Geotools documentation, URL2 should resolve directly to the tiger:tiger_roads layer.  However, when I step through the code with a debugger, resolve1 and resolve2 are both instances of WMSServiceImpl.  If I do resolve1.members(monitor) and resolve2.members(monitor), they both return the same list of every layer deployed on my Geoserver.  How can I directly retrieve the tiger:tiger_roads layer using something similar to URL2? I don’t want to iterate through every layer looking for the 1 layer I’m interested in.

 

Thanks,

Joe
