[Geoserver-users] using VMap data

GeoServer GeoServer User

I see a reference to VMap support on this page:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/VPF+DataStore

But, it is not clear what to put on the URL line. VMap data contains lots of
files. Is there one file in particular I should place on the url line?

I tried supplying this url:

file:data/northamerica/VMAPLV0

in the “DataStore Editor” and used the “shapefile” DataStore Description,
but I got this error:

Provided parameters can not be processed

Here is a directory structure of my VMap data:

I think the LHT file is the one to link to. VPF isn't super well supported though. If the link to the LHT works could you update the docs? (it's a wiki, hit 'page operations' -> 'edit page' on the left)

If not you might just use ogr2ogr to convert to shapefile...

best regards,

Chris
