Hello:
I'm trying to understand how to load base images - like TIFFs, GeoTIFFs, JPEGs, etc. into GeoServer for display. So far, I've been successful at the one type of file I've tried, which is Shapefiles, and I'd like to move on. I looked at the Demis example, but it looks like they're referencing a map from another WMS. Any help?
Best regards,
Amy
Hi Amy:
Which Geoserver release are you using? For raster data you would need
the 1.5beta2 release.

Hi Amy,
There is a tutorial that describes how to make an image mosaic out of TIFFs here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDEV/Using+the+ImageMosaic+plugin
You will probably need to download a tool called GDAL.
But if you have a single TIFF image, you can just load it into geoserver as a Tagged Image File Format (Tiff) in the Data -> CoverageDataSets menu.
Once you have specified the TIFF file (just like specifying a shapefile but with a .tiff extension) you head to the Data -> Coverage menu and add your dataset, just like you would a feature type. It should then show up in the map preview section. There are a few demos available that come with geoserver.
Remember you need the latest GeoServer 1.5-beta2 version.
Also, what kind of datasets do you have that you would like loaded?
I have started a tutorial (that is almost finished) for loading the Blue Marble dataset (the whole world at 500m/pixel resolution): http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Load+NASA+Blue+Marble+Data

I'm using 1.4.0. So with older versions, it looks as if people are displaying base images of some sort. Is that the case?

On the client side they are probably pointing to an existing raster service, instead of GeoServer.
Nasa has their blue marble up for free at: http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/ and a few sites point at that, or at least use the data.
The request to the data is:
http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/browse.cgi?wms_server=wms.cgi&layers=BMNG&srs=EPSG:4326&width=600&height=300&bbox=-180,-90,180,90&format=image/jpeg&styles=&zoom=

Brent,
Thanks for all the help and sorry for the slow reply. I have a contract job that interfering with my real work. Oh well.
Right now, I'm trying to load JPEGs or TIFFs, but really goal is to figure out how to implement GeoServer successfully and it looks like it's important to take advantage of existing WMSs. I'm going to do a little research and planning.
Thanks again,
Amy
