[Geoserver-users] Template doesn't work

Hi geoserver list,
i was experimenting with WMS getfeatureinfo. Thus i wanted to style the
response a little bit. I was reading about geoserver templates here:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/KML+Placemark+Templates
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/KML+Placemark+Templates . I thought
it's a simple issue to copy the hello world-example: Just save a file called
description.ftl with the content hello world in my
/geoserver/data/featureTypes/featureTypeXY directory, restart geoserver and
call GetFeatureInfo for featureTypeXY.
Sounds simple, but didn't work. Has anybody an idea, which screw to turn to
make it work (i'm running release 1.7.0)?
Regards
Albrecht

Hi Albrect. Could you be more specific what didn't work (error message or stack trace)? I seem to recall that placemark handling changed a bit from 1.7.1 on, but I can't say if this is related to those changes.

Thanks,

Ach. Disadvantage of multiple posts is that I didn't see that someone else already answered the same question. :slight_smile:
