[Geoserver-users] Geoserver - trouble setting up a time DImension

david.miron · May 7, 2008, 12:39am

Hi all

I have tried to search the geoserver archives but continually get an internal server error so I will post this in the hope that someone can shed light on my issue. So apologies in advance if this is a duplication.

I am trying to get a time series/ movie playing of some temporal data that sits in a postgis database. I have enabled the table within the database

As a feature type within geoserver and all that works fine.

The temporal column of the database is “DCV_Date” and I have made a file time.ftl that sits in the directory

webapps\geoserver\data\featureTypes\cbem_vis_DY_CBEM_VIS

This file contains the line: ${DCV_Date.value?date('yyyy-MM-dd')}

This is as per the tutorial on the geoserver site.

However, using mapbuilder when I make a request using the following layer:

</Server>

<Title>Disease Spread</Title>

<Abstract>Disease Spread</Abstract>

</DimensionList>

<Format current="1">image/png</Format>

</FormatList>

</Layer>

I get returned a broken image.

I have checked out the logs of geoserver and the request that is actually been made is:

/geoserver/wms/kml_reflect?LAYERS=topp%3ADY_CBEM_VIS&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&TIME=2005-12-31&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=106.96166666666664,-48.5,159.62833333333333,-9&WIDTH=640&HEIGHT=480

Also a GetCapabilities request yields for the feature type the following:

−

<Abstract>Generated from cbem_vis</Abstract>

−

<ows:Keywords>

<ows:Keyword>cbem_vis</ows:Keyword>

<ows:Keyword>DY_CBEM_VIS</ows:Keyword>

</ows:Keywords>

</OutputFormats>

−

<ows:WGS84BoundingBox>

<ows:LowerCorner>112.89 -43.63</ows:LowerCorner>

<ows:UpperCorner>153.64 -10.61</ows:UpperCorner>

</ows:WGS84BoundingBox>

</FeatureType>

I cannot see any time attribute – should there be?

Does anyone have any insight into what is going on here? Have I missed something in setting up the layer on the server side? Is there a file I need to modify

On the server side to add the Dimesion attribute.

Kind regards and thanks in advance.

Hi David,

Unfortunately GeoServer does not do time in this way. The only sort of time series stuff that is currently supported is specific to the NetCDF format I believe... and does not work date parameters like this.

GeoServer can do time series with google earth. You can find the details here:

http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/02-Time+Templates

If you are interested here is a great tutorial put together by Tyler Erickson:

Hi David:

If you simply want to make a movie file, you can get the time series
images by using an sld to filter, or a filter=(some filter) parameter
to get the images, which you can then stitch into a movie. Would that
be sufficient?

Hi David,

Andrea just noticed somethign odd about your mapbuilder config. THe base url you are using for the service is "wms/kml_reflect", but you are requesting a png? I would change the service endpoint to wms/reflect, or just just wms.
