Justin,

I found the problem to be on the client side:

1. Google Earth never invokes the WCS and learns the coverage of the
layer...so it never flies there...it wants KML and KML only.

2. WorldWind doesn't like the colon between the namespace and layer
names and barfs at it while trying to generate cache directories and
files. This has already been documented.

I am trying to use the WorldWind WMS Browser to add layers from
Geoserver.

Have you heard of any thing like this being reported in the past? I
found a few message boards online (Worldwind boards) that report this.

I have not no, but I think there are users on this list that have had luck with it. Hopefully they can chime in.

Thanks!

Ronak

Hi,

I had a question regarding the Geoserver WMS and Google Earth/NASA

World

Wind.

I notice that most of the precanned data inside of Geoserver is not downloaded by WorldWind nor Google Earth. They both throw errors at

me.

Have you seen that before?

Hmmm... we usually manually test most of the layers from the vanilla geoserver distro and make sure it works ok with google earth. This issue

may be relevant:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2942

What version of gs are you using?

I also experience some images staging correctly inside Geoserver but I

get weird HTTP 404 and other "Path Not Found" errors from Geoserver

when

pulling out those images that staged correctly. *I am using the REST Interface to stage coverages to Geoserver.*

Are you getting the 404 in Google Earth, accessing KML? If so are you using the standard KML reflector URL to access?

I see the new layer created inside of Geoserver and I am able to pull the correct coverage of the raster inside of that layer.

Do you have any ideas as to why this sort of problem occurs?

Tough to say. The easiest way to diagnose the problems would be if you could make a sample of your data available, in which are you able to reproduce the problem with.

Thanks!
