[Geoserver-users] Need KML output as reel data - how to (if possible)?

Hi,

We got a Geoserver installed publishing out spatial data as WMS/WFS. We now
have a request from one of our users who needs KML. I first tried with the
standard "KML" (under "layer preview" --> "Common Formats"). Unfortunately
they cannot use that. It seems that the standard KML service is just a
wrapped URL string in a KML-style format, but what they need is the reel KML
data published as a service. Is there any way to do that?

Sincerely,

Christian

There are two KML output format in recent GeoServer versions, a styled one
from WMS, which
is the main link you see, and a WFS KML output format, with attributes but
no styling.

Not sure what "real KML" is though, both output formats generate valid,
compliant KML :-p

Ah, sorry I meant WFS KML output ;-).

I need to send a service URL to the user (like the WMS KML). As far as I can
see its not possible when it comes to WFS KML output?

I currently use Geoserver 2.5.4.

Cheers

GeoServer 2.5.x supports KML out of WFS, have a look at the dropdown
list with all the formats in the layer preview page
