[Geoserver-users] Issue with KML output kmplacemark:false

Hi everyone,

I’m having problems getting KML output from Geoserver 2.3. Seems like an old problem or maybe i’m doing something wrong. The fact is i’m trying to get a polygon layer and the KML output is appended with polygon centroids (placemarks).

I stumbled upon this issue from 2010:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3574?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

and i thought it was already fixed, but the output still brings the centroids, no matter how i combine the format_options.

Anyone can confirm this behavior? Is it a bug or a simple feature? I see in the repo the KML component was completely replaced, maybe the old issue strikes again…

Never discard my stupidity, but i can’t manage to get this right in the last 2 days, so i thought i’d ask here.

I can provide links to actual layers being output with centroids:

The only way I get polygons only is by setting KMATTR to false, but then i get no info as intended.

I tried at codehaus so i could post the issue, but couldn’t find a way to create an account.

Thanks in advance
