[Geoserver-users] Time dimension in GS 2.2.2

Hello all,

I have some difficulties using the Time dimension that is allowed in GS 2.2. My data are boats positions with timestamp information. I configured the GS Time dimension to read the right attribute (utctime). By the way, do you know what is the use of the optional field “End Attribute” ? (see the enclosed image)

My data are goig from to 2012-07-07T07:03:03.061Z to 2012-07-07T18:59:01.647Z, I can read it in the WMS GetCapabilities.

Now when I want to display the map with a GetMap, here are the problems :

  • I can display the whole 2012-07-07 day only with TIME=2012-07-06/2012-07-08. If I set TIME=2012-07-07, TIME=2012-07-07/2012-07-08 or TIME=2012-07-06/2012-07-07 I have a blank image. So here is the only right URL :

http://myHost/geoserver/vessels/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=vessels:oneday&styles=&bbox=-46.3715133666992,-24.2236480712891,99.8403930664062,44.2278175354004&width=704&height=330&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image%2Fpng&TIME=2012-07-06/2012-07-07

  • I can’t display just one specific hour of data, even if it is in the GetCapabilities Dimension list, I only have a blank image… Here is what returns the getCapabilities :
    2012-07-07T07:03:03.061Z,2012-07-07T07:03:17.492Z,2012-07-07T07:03:34.002Z,

And my request :
http://myHost/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=vessels:oneday&styles=&bbox=-46.3715133666992,-24.2236480712891,99.8403930664062,44.2278175354004&width=704&height=330&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image%2Fpng&TIME=2012-07-07T07:03:03.061Z

If you have any idea, I’ll be glad some more information about this time use !

Thanks,

Gabriel
