[Geoserver-users] WMS not returning all records

Hi All,
This is a tricky one - so bear with me... i'm a Geoserver newbie...

Basically, i have two very similar queries that return species records for a
given species in a given geograpic area. One query uses WFS (returns JSON
data that I then parse and map on Google maps); the other uses WMS and
returns a map with the records just plotted as points.

Despite there being no obvious filtering on the WMS (apart from the species
name and bounding box), the WMS only returns a fraction of the records.

I'm running Geoserver 2.3.3 on Windows server 2008. All the data I am
querying is in shapefiles.

Here is the WMS query:

And the WFS query:

Map from the WMS query (pretty much only one record returned!):

<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/file/n5074531/wms.png&gt;

And the WFS points plotted on Google Maps (returns 32 features):

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Steve

Hi Steve,
(We seem to have lost the list there; ooops)

I don’t see anything obviously wrong with it. Maybe someone else can.

I’m not that familiar with WMS requests via POST, but shouldn’t there be a layer specified in there somewhere? I can’t see one.

Cheers,
Jonathan

I ask because looking a the maps, the WFS is clearly using a different source for the Wales county boundaries than the WMS is. This may also be the case with the points.

Hi Jonathan,
The WFS does not need the welsh boundary - it simply queries based on a
bounding box.
The WMS just used the welsh boundary for 'styling' - otherwise it would be a
white square with a few dots! Like the WFS, it uses a bounding box for the
actual query.

Both queries use the 'bis_4_other_species' layer in Geoserver.

Thanks for looking!

Steve
