The layer names appear to be case sensitive, but elsewhere (when calling wms through a URL for example) they’re not. Should this be changed or should they remain case sensitive? I am happy to submit a bug report if required, just thought I’d check the facts first.

Hi Tom,

Interesting. I cant reproduce the case-insensitivity part. When i make a
request with a regular wms i get can exception back. Can you include
perhaps an example?

Thanks,

Maybe I didn’t describe it properly, if you go to Web Map Server → contents and add in some of your WMS layers to the “base map layers” field they have to be in the correct case. In my case, osm:OSM works whereas osm:OSm doesn’t. If I set that I get the error: Layer osm:VIEWOSm is invalid.

I just checked, the same happens with GetMap requests as well, at least
on 1.6.0-beta3. If I issue:

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?bbox=-127.61950064999999,23.7351786,-64.08177035,50.592523400000005&Format=image/png&request=GetMap&layers=topp:States&width=800&height=317

I get:

org.vfny.geoserver.wms.WmsException: Could not find layer topp:States

I haven't tried on 1.5.3 thought, but I don't remember seeing the
code changed in that respect...

Cheers
Andrea
