Adding Legend breaks KML Output for Google Earth
------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1787
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1787
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Google Earth KML Output
Affects Versions: 1.6.0
Environment: Windows XP, Tomcat 6.0.10, Google Earth 4.2.0198.2451 (beta)
Reporter: Brendan Moylan
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Attachments: GoogleEarth_Error.jpg, states.kml
Adding a legend of true to a KML file causes Google Earth to report an error.
I used the KML Output option for topp:states and saved it (If I just opened it then it worked fine).
I then modified it and replaced the legend=false with legend=true and then opened it from My Computer. google Earth then opened and reported an error when processing the KML file.
I am attaching a screendump of the error as well as the KML file that I used.
I noticed that a similar bug report had been raised at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1595 but marked as closed as it could not be reproduced.
I have gone from 1.5.0 to 1.6.0 and so am unsure as to whether it would have been in previous versions. Based on the closed bug report I will download 1.5.3 and try that out.
My Geoserver.war is dated 11/02/2008 and I am unsure which release of 1.6.0 that it represents.
I'm happy to help with testing or if you need more information to reproduce the problem.
