[worldKit-dev] Problems displaying WMS imagery in WorldKit

You don't want to escape ampersands in the url. Enclose that value in a CDATA section to make it correct XML. Flash actually doesn't mind bare ampersands, so often I'm sloppy and create config.xml with badly formed XML.


Running locally might be a problem too .. there are security settings in Flash which can prevent it from accessing remote sites.

Subject: [worldKit-dev] Problems displaying WMS imagery in WorldKit

Hi everyone,

I've just discovered WorldKit and think it looks great.  I'm very
interested in using it to display WMS imagery but I can't get my
example WorldKit map to display images from any WMS that I've tried.
I must be doing something silly - could someone please post a
*complete* worldkit config file that contains a WMS layer that's known
to work?  I've cut and paste lots of snippets but all I see is
day.jpg.

Is it important to escape ampersands in the WMS URL in the config file
(e.g. ...wms.cgi?request=GetMap&layers=...)?  I've tried files
with and without escaping with no luck.  I'm running worldkit off my
local disk because I don't have access to an HTTP server at the moment
- could this be causing problems?

Thanks in advance,
Jon
