[Geoserver-users] consuming, not producing, KML

I have a bunch of KML data; some of which is generated dynamically. Is there anyway to pass the path of a KML page to geoserver and have it output tiles that I can overlap on a google map?

I was using google to generate the tiles but something at goggle’s end has happened and the tiles are no long showing up reliably.

Thots?

Cheers,

Mo

Unfortunately no. It wouldn't be all that hard to write something that would be able to read the KML data. But if one did that it would only be the data, not the style - so it would basically strip out any of the interesting display you have in. It would be much harder to actually pass through the Styling information, since GeoServer keeps the two separate, so we'd have to figure out a way to parse it all and then combine it back for the 2d.

best regards,

Chris
