[Geoserver-users] GetCapabilities throws error when Time Dimension is enabled

Humphries_Graham · October 11, 2021, 5:00am

Geoserver config:

Tomcat 8.5.60

AdoptOpenJDK 1.8.0_275-b01

Geoserver 2.19.2

I have set up a layer in Geoserver to use the Time Dimension. This layer works well when using in an OpenLayers map project. However when I run the getCapabilities command Geoserver throws an error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Translator error

Translator error

Error occurred trying to write out metadata for layer: CDM_CRASH_MV

Failed to handle time attribute for layer

Problem visiting CDM_CRASH_MV visiting CDM_CRASH_MV.fid–5032e677_17c6d72938d_-30d:java.lang.NullPointerException

This is causing a problem when trying to add these layers, as WMS, into ArcGIS.

Any ideas on what to do to fix this?

Hi,

The problem might be that you have a Null value within that time field.

To avoid the exception, you could try to use a different Presentation mode. To change it you must go into Geoserver for the given layer, and choose the tab Dimensions. For Presentation you could choose List to see if that helps.

If the problem is that you have a Null value, I think you could open a ticket in the Issue tracker.

Best regards,

Roar Brænden

This is causing a problem when trying to add these layers, as WMS, into ArcGIS.
Any ideas on what to do to fix this?

Thanks for your input Roar.

It turns out that it seems to be a problem with using a view that has a timestamp field that is created from a date. If I just use the date field it works fine.

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] GetCapabilities throws error when Time Dimension is enabled

Hi,

The problem might be that you have a Null value within that time field.

To avoid the exception, you could try to use a different Presentation mode. To change it you must go into Geoserver for the given layer, and choose the tab Dimensions. For Presentation you could choose List to see if that helps.

If the problem is that you have a Null value, I think you could open a ticket in the Issue tracker.

Best regards,

Any ideas on what to do to fix this?
