[Geoserver-users] Trouble with dynamically generated SLD

GeoServer GeoServer User
1

Hello,

I’m attempting to generate an SLD file in python.
And while the output appears valid to me when I load it in as a new style in Geoserver and click “Validate” I get an error:

line 17: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element ‘ogc:Filter’. One of ‘{“http://www.opengis.net/sld”:Symbolizer}’ is expected.

​I’m assuming this occurs 18 times–once for each filter.
The filter tag is correctly nested within the rule tag alongside a symbolizer, so I don’t see what the issue is here.
Here’s the full SLD:
​

As the error message suggests your filter is in the wrong place. It should be at the top of the rule.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the response.
Your answer is what I was afraid of.
It’s a bit frustrating because I couldn’t find any mention of this order enforcement for rules in the official OGC specification.
But, more to the point, the python library I’m using (https://github.com/azavea/python-sld) doesn’t seem capable of enforcing this.

Do you have any suggestions for dynamically creating SLDs (for ingestion into Geoserver via REST calls) using python?

As the error message suggests your filter is in the wrong place. It should be at the top of the rule.

Hello,

I’m attempting to generate an SLD file in python.
And while the output appears valid to me when I load it in as a new style in Geoserver and click “Validate” I get an error:

line 17: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element ‘ogc:Filter’. One of ‘{“http://www.opengis.net/sld”:Symbolizer}’ is expected.

​I’m assuming this occurs 18 times–once for each filter.
The filter tag is correctly nested within the rule tag alongside a symbolizer, so I don’t see what the issue is here.
Here’s the full SLD:

The ordering is specified in the XML schema snippet on Page 25 of my copy of the spec:

<xs:element name=“Rule”>
xs:complexType
xs:sequence
<xs:element ref=“sld:Name” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:Title” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:Abstract” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:LegendGraphic” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:choice minOccurs=“0”>
<xs:element ref=“ogc:Filter”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:ElseFilter”/>
</xs:choice>
<xs:element ref=“sld:MinScaleDenominator” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:MaxScaleDenominator” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:choice minOccurs=“0” maxOccurs=“unbounded”>
<xs:element ref=“sld:LineSymbolizer”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:PolygonSymbolizer”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:PointSymbolizer”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:TextSymbolizer”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:RasterSymbolizer”/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:sequence>

Rules contain a Sequence (or ordered list) with ogc:Filter above line symbolizer.

It looks like a call to normalize on the rule should fix the order. Otherwise you can look to fix the python.

The second easiest way is to ignore the validator (GeoServer is relaxed about the SLD it will ingest) and proceed.

As the error message suggests your filter is in the wrong place. It should be at the top of the rule.

Hello,

I’m attempting to generate an SLD file in python.
And while the output appears valid to me when I load it in as a new style in Geoserver and click “Validate” I get an error:

line 17: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element ‘ogc:Filter’. One of ‘{“http://www.opengis.net/sld”:Symbolizer}’ is expected.

​I’m assuming this occurs 18 times–once for each filter.
The filter tag is correctly nested within the rule tag alongside a symbolizer, so I don’t see what the issue is here.
Here’s the full SLD:

Hi Ian,

Thank you for the explanation regarding xs:sequence. I didn’t pick up on that while examining the spec.

I’ll see what I can do to get the python script to proceed the correct order.

Thanks again.

The ordering is specified in the XML schema snippet on Page 25 of my copy of the spec:

<xs:element name=“Rule”>
xs:complexType
xs:sequence
<xs:element ref=“sld:Name” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:Title” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:Abstract” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:LegendGraphic” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:choice minOccurs=“0”>
<xs:element ref=“ogc:Filter”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:ElseFilter”/>
</xs:choice>
<xs:element ref=“sld:MinScaleDenominator” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:MaxScaleDenominator” minOccurs=“0”/>
<xs:choice minOccurs=“0” maxOccurs=“unbounded”>
<xs:element ref=“sld:LineSymbolizer”/>

<xs:element ref=“sld:TextSymbolizer”/>
<xs:element ref=“sld:RasterSymbolizer”/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:sequence>

Rules contain a Sequence (or ordered list) with ogc:Filter above line symbolizer.

It looks like a call to normalize on the rule should fix the order. Otherwise you can look to fix the python.

The second easiest way is to ignore the validator (GeoServer is relaxed about the SLD it will ingest) and proceed.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the response.
Your answer is what I was afraid of.
It’s a bit frustrating because I couldn’t find any mention of this order enforcement for rules in the official OGC specification.
But, more to the point, the python library I’m using (https://github.com/azavea/python-sld) doesn’t seem capable of enforcing this.

Do you have any suggestions for dynamically creating SLDs (for ingestion into Geoserver via REST calls) using python?

As the error message suggests your filter is in the wrong place. It should be at the top of the rule.

Hello,

I’m attempting to generate an SLD file in python.
And while the output appears valid to me when I load it in as a new style in Geoserver and click “Validate” I get an error:

line 17: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element ‘ogc:Filter’. One of ‘{“http://www.opengis.net/sld”:Symbolizer}’ is expected.

​I’m assuming this occurs 18 times–once for each filter.
The filter tag is correctly nested within the rule tag alongside a symbolizer, so I don’t see what the issue is here.
Here’s the full SLD:

You can also read the Geoserver SLD Reference docs, which describe the element ordering specified by the standard (and might be a bit easier to read).

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the response.
Your answer is what I was afraid of.
It’s a bit frustrating because I couldn’t find any mention of this order enforcement for rules in the official OGC specification.
But, more to the point, the python library I’m using (https://github.com/azavea/python-sld) doesn’t seem capable of enforcing this.

Do you have any suggestions for dynamically creating SLDs (for ingestion into Geoserver via REST calls) using python?

As the error message suggests your filter is in the wrong place. It should be at the top of the rule.

Hello,

I’m attempting to generate an SLD file in python.
And while the output appears valid to me when I load it in as a new style in Geoserver and click “Validate” I get an error:

line 17: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element ‘ogc:Filter’. One of ‘{“http://www.opengis.net/sld”:Symbolizer}’ is expected.

​I’m assuming this occurs 18 times–once for each filter.
The filter tag is correctly nested within the rule tag alongside a symbolizer, so I don’t see what the issue is here.
Here’s the full SLD:
