Properties

Name

Type

Required

Description

id

string

yes

Unique identifier

url

string

yes

The capabilities URL for the WMS service. You should not include the SERVICE, REQUEST or VERSION parameters in the URL, just use the base URL, these parameters will be added automatically based on the type of request that is being made.

Note: WMS version 1.3.0 may be forced by including the URL VERSION parameter, however this is not recommended and Weave will use WMS version 1.1.1 by default.

format

string

no

Default format that the map engine will request from the WMS server if one is not specified.

transparent

boolean

no

Determines if the areas of the image that are not covered by spatial data are rendered as transparent or as a solid colour (as set by the background property). Enabling transparency requires an image format that supports it (jpeg and png24 do not).

background

integer

no

The RGB value for the image background if transparency is not enabled, the default is #ffffff

username

string

no

A username to connect to the server as.

password

string

no

A password to connect to the server as. This should be encrypted using 'encrypt' at the osgi prompt.

qgisbooleannoForce the map engine as to be treated as though it were QGis. Weave will try and figure out if the underlying WMS service is QGis and perform additional optimisations and expose additional capabilities if it is, but sometimes Weave might not be able to determine this correctly in which case you can set this property to true in the config and the map engine will be treated as though it were being served from QGis. Additionally if Weave is incorrectly guessing that a WMS service is QGis when it isn't you can set this property to false to disable the additional functionality. (Note: Weave does not automatically identify QGis 3.4 hence need to set qgis=true.)

Note

As of version 1.3.7 of the WMS bundle the password can be encrypted using the osgi encrypt command.

WMS 1.3.0

Don't "upgrade" to WMS 1.3.0 unless you really have to.

VersionĀ 2.15.16 of theĀ com.cohga.server.map.wms bundle (released as part of Weave 2.5.21) improves support for WMS 1.3.0 by supporting map services that require their axis order to be swapped.
