[Geoserver-users] Cascading WMS - (INSPIRE extension issue?)

Hi List,
I’m having an issue with cascading a WMS. I’m cascading from one of my test servers to another - both GeoServer 2.5.1, and both have the INSPIRE extension (what I suspect is causing the issue).

The GetCapabilities looks like:
http://maps.warwickshire.gov.uk/gs/ows?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities

The problem is, when I try and create a new store, when I press “Save”, after some waiting I get this error:

Connection test failed: Error downloading location: http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/common/1.0/common.xsd

So it seems that GeoServer is trying to download the XSD. There are several issues here for me:

  1. It assumes that the GeoServer has internet access (it doesn’t - even our public systems don’t have the ability to open connections - only respond).

  2. GeoServer will already have that file if it’s important.

So this raises questions:
a) Does GeoServer actually need to download those files to function?
b) If so, can it not check to see if it doesn’t have a copy already?

Thoughts?
I’m hopeful that it turns out it’s not necessary and that the check can be made optional.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan.

Last year I wrote a patch for gt-xml to use cached version of xsd files, if available. That was exactly created to speedup wms cascading of inspire enabled layers.

To make Geotools/Geoserver use a local copy, you should copy them in a location on the classpath (WEB-INF/classes for example) using a folder structure resembling the namespace of the xsd.

In this case should be: eu/europa/ec/inspire/schemas/common/1.0/common.xsd
