Re: [udig-devel] testing WMS in 0.9RC3

Hi Bart,
Thanks for the feedback. Comments inline.

Hi list,
I decided to test uDIG 0.9RC3, but I ran into some blocking problems, so I
need your help to continue testing.
I am trying to use data from a Dutch WMS service (EPSG:28992), but I can't
find this code in the uDIG EPSG dialog, and if I type it in the select box
I get "An error has occurred". See error log for more details. Why is this
EPSG code not in uDIG? Where do I find the error log? I searched the uDIG
directory for *.log and *.err but did not find anything.
If you go to Help->About, select Configuration Details and then View
Error Log, you should be able to see the problems.
Some more remarks/questions on the WMS capability of uDIG:
1. Why are the WMS layers not shown with their nesting as provided on the
WMS server? I have a layer DEMO which has a child layer Provincies, but
they are shown at the same level in uDIG.
This was based on an early decision to flatten the layer lists. But the
capability for nested folders of layers has actually been introduced.. I
just need to implement this for WMS. So it is on the menu, just not yet.
2. In the layer selection window, only the server name + port are used to
identify a service, eg wms://www.vz.geodan.nl:1111. Why not use the
Service Title from the Capabilities, or the full onlineResource (ofcourse
that gets too long so the service title is better in my opinion)?
3. Why does the map not zoom to the latlonboundingbox of the WMS layer
added (I assume the default map projection is lat/lon?)?
This is my latlon boundingbox:
<LatLonBoundingBox minx="3.20036" miny="50.7175" maxx="7.27339"
maxy="53.5581" />
And my map in uDIG starts at approximately: x: -40 (min) to 50 (max), y:
3.5 (min) to 53.5 (max).
It seems like minx is used for miny or something like that?
That sounds like a bug! The code should zoom into the LatLonBoundingBox
of the layer (or a BBox of another CRS that the map is in, if the server
supports it).
I will submit a jira task for this last one
