Hi List,
I have some polygons I want to be filled with a SVG style. The documentation makes it clear GeoServer supports this: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/sld-reference/pointsymbolizer.html#externalgraphic
However I’m having issues getting it to work.
- I’ve tried placing the SVG files onto a local web-server and accessing them like that, but all I get in the legend is grey boxes.
- Then I placed them into /geoserver_data/styles/svgs - this resulted in a GeoServer console error.
- Then I placed them in the styles directory itself, but I still get the GeoServer console error.
This page (http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/sld-extensions/pointsymbols.html#external-graphics) makes it clear that my links are correct (well, maybe not the ./svgs/ one, but it follows convention).
My GeoServer error seems to imply it can’t find the files:
07 Jan 11:22:41 ERROR [org.geoserver.ows] -
org.geoserver.platform.ServiceException: java.io.IOException
at org.geoserver.wms.legendgraphic.GetLegendGraphicKvpReader.read(GetLegendGraphicKvpReader.java:163)
at org.geoserver.wms.legendgraphic.GetLegendGraphicKvpReader.read(GetLegendGraphicKvpReader.java:54)
at org.geoserver.ows.Dispatcher.parseRequestKVP(Dispatcher.java:1405)
…
And example of the applicable part of my SLD:
se:PolygonSymbolizer
se:Fill
se:GraphicFill
se:Graphic
se:ExternalGraphic
image/svg+xml
</se:ExternalGraphic>
se:Size3</se:Size>
se:Displacement
se:DisplacementX3</se:DisplacementX>
se:DisplacementY4</se:DisplacementY>
</se:Displacement>
</se:Graphic>
</se:GraphicFill>
</se:Fill>
10,10
</se:PolygonSymbolizer>
This one gives me grey boxes in my legend.
Other URL lines include:
Those three give me the GeoServer error.
They also fail GeoServer validation:
“Parsing failed for ExternalGraphic: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not absolute”
But the documentation example includes a clearly relative URI.
Fails validation with:
“Parsing failed for href: java.net.URISyntaxException: Malformed escape pair at index 0: %GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR%/styles/svgs/boulderGeometry.svg”
TL;DR: How do I make SVG Fill work with an ExternalGraphic?
Thanks,
Jonathan
