Hi,
I would like to represent the available depth levels and time for a particular layer/variable by adding some additional fields to the info.xml file.
For example:
<Dimension name="elevation" units="m" default="-5.0">
-5.0,-15.0,-25.0,-35.0,-48.0,-67.0,-96.0,-139.0,-204.0,-301.0,-447.0,-666.0,-996.0,-1501.0,-2116.0,-2731.0,-3347.0,-3962.0,-4577.0,-5192.0
</Dimension>
<Dimension name="time" units="ISO8601" multipleValues="true" current="true" default="2001-09-04T00:00:00Z">
2001-09-02T00:00:00Z,2001-09-03T00:00:00Z,2001-09-04T00:00:00Z
</Dimension>
<parameter name = "MAXIMUM" value = "305.9585" />
<parameter name = "VARIABLE" value = "NCOF_FOAM_ONE/TMP" />
<parameter name = "MINIMUM" value = "271.34912" />
I wanted to know if there already exists some ways of doing this in Geoserver or if this is a convenient way of doing it.
No, there is no way to do so as far as I know. Adding support for
this is not trivial either, it requires changes in the configuration,
in the UI and in the service code (not to mention the service
code and UI of the stable series, that is, 1.6.x and 1.7.x, are going
to be thrown away and redone when GeoServer 2.0 sees the light,
probably by the end of the year).
Afaik Simone and Alessio are working on something similar, so I'd
suggest you try to pair up to avoid duplicating the effort.
Cheers
Andrea
