[Geoserver-users] Two layers based in the same PosGis table with different styles

Jair_Santos1 · November 3, 2015, 4:18pm

Hello all,

I need to create a layer that will be based on the same table as another already in Geoserver. They must have different styles though. In order to publish a layer I need to add the table to PosGis from a shape file and it will available to publish in Geoserver. To solve the problem I can duplicate the table with a different name, but I believe that this is not the best solution.

What I would like to do is to create a new layer in Geoserver using the same database and apply a different style to it.

What’s the best way of doing that?

TIA.

So you should do so, simply add the same layer twice. Just be case a table has been published once, does not prevent you from publishing it a second time. This can also be done to publish the same table with different bounds (perhaps because you are telling a different story).

Note you can also register more than one style with a layer (and allow the client application to choose the most appropriate style.

You can use the republish button to create a second layer from the table, but for your case you just need one layer with two styles - on the layer publishing tab you can add one (or more) additional styles in the list below the default style. Select the style you want and then press the right arrow to copy it to the selected list. Then when you request your layer simply put styles=other_style in the request.

Thank you.

I understand that I should then set the style on the client side. I am using openlayers 3 where I create the layer like

var wms_bmid_pipes_diameter = new ol.source.TileWMS({
url: ‘http://foo:8080/geoserver/wms’,
params: { ‘LAYERS’: ‘bmid_pipes’ },
serverType: ‘geoserver’

});

And then

**new** ol.**layer**.Tile({
    **source**: <b>*wms_bmid_pipes_diameter*</b>,
    **title**:**'BMID Mains by Diameter'**

**});**

I didn’t find the style as an option when creating the layer.

in your creation code do something like:

var wms_bmid_pipes_diameter = new ol.source.TileWMS({
url: ‘http://foo:8080/geoserver/wms’,
params: { ‘LAYERS’: ‘bmid_pipes’, ‘STYLES’:‘mystyle’ },
serverType: ‘geoserver’

});

Assuming of course that you called your style mystyle

Here is what I did.

1- Created a new style and assigned it to the layer. Therefore, the layer has now one default style and one selected style.

2- Created two layers passing the parameter STYLES as suggested :

var wms_bmid_pipes_material = new ol.source.TileWMS({
url: ‘http://174.4.62.160:8080/geoserver/wms’,
params: { ‘LAYERS’: ‘bmid_pipes’,‘STYLES’:‘BMID_Pipes_Material’ },
serverType: ‘geoserver’
});

var wms_bmid_pipes_diameter = new ol.source.TileWMS({
url: ‘http://174.4.62.160:8080/geoserver/wms’,
params: { ‘LAYERS’: ‘bmid_pipes’,‘STYLES’:‘BMID_Pipes_Diameter’ },
serverType: ‘geoserver’
});

The result is that none of the layers show up. There is no error in the client side and the localhost_access_log.2015-11-03 return code 200

=BMID_Pipes_Diameter&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256&CRS=EPSG%3A3857&BBOX=-13286590.004642477%2C6418264.391049679%2C-13276806.065021975%2C6428048.330670182 HTTP/1.1" 200 295

BMID_Pipes_Material&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256&CRS=EPSG%3A3857&BBOX=-13315941.823503986%2C6437832.270290684%2C-13306157.883883484%2C6447616.209911186 HTTP/1.1" 200 296

As soon as I load one layer only it properly shows up in the map.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

JJ.

In addition, it seems that Geoserver cannot handle both stylesin the same layer. Or I did something wrong?

Jair,

It appears you placed your styles into the workspace as well. When you do that, you have to use the workspace in the style name as well.

Example Layer Previewer:

http://174.4.62.160:8080/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=bmid_pipes&styles=BMID_ws:BMID_Pipes_Material&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256&CRS=EPSG%3A3857&BBOX=-13286590.004642477%2C6418264.391049679%2C-13276806.065021975%2C6428048.330670182&format=application/openlayers

http://174.4.62.160:8080/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=bmid_pipes&styles=BMID_ws:BMID_Pipes_Diameter&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256&CRS=EPSG%3A3857&BBOX=-13286590.004642477%2C6418264.391049679%2C-13276806.065021975%2C6428048.330670182&format=application/openlayers

I expect that changing your style references would start to work

var wms_bmid_pipes_material = new ol.source.TileWMS({
url: ‘http://174.4.62.160:8080/geoserver/wms’,
params: { ‘LAYERS’: ‘bmid_pipes’,‘STYLES’:‘BMID_ws:BMID_Pipes_Material’ },
serverType: ‘geoserver’
});

var wms_bmid_pipes_diameter = new ol.source.TileWMS({
url: ‘http://174.4.62.160:8080/geoserver/wms’,
params: { ‘LAYERS’: ‘bmid_pipes’,‘STYLES’:’ BMID_ws:BMID_Pipes_Diameter’ },
serverType: ‘geoserver’
});
