Hi list,
I'm not sure this if a bug nor not, hence my asking.
If you perform a getLegendGraphic request using an SLD to define the
style, i.e:
http://myserver/geoserver/wms/GetLegendGraphic?VERSION=1.0.0&FORMAT=imag
e/png&WIDTH=150&HEIGHT=150&LAYER=shapefile:continent&SLD=http://myserver
/temp/symbology/SLD/tmp_03305695_1.sld
You have to specify a layer name in the request
("&Layer=shapefile:continent").
Really, the layer you are getting the LegendGraphic for doesn't really
matter, because the it would look the same no matter what. The only
exception would be if you tried to request a LegendGraphic for line data
using a SLD that defines a style for a Point, for example (note also:
currently, the LegendGraphic for a Point would still be rendered, even
if a Line Feature is specified in "Layers=").
I'm using getLegendGraphic in my symbol catalogue to show how a symbol
would look, and the SLD is automatically generated. These symbols aren't
necessarily linked to features. They're essentially just styles on their
own.
So all I do is put "&Layer=shapefile:continent" in every request and
although it is completely irrelevant, it works. It will not work without
it.
I may just be in a bit of a pedantic mood!
