Hi Irman, Actually no the wms spec does not bind one to returning an image. The spec has the notion of "output formats". An output format can return non image content types such as svg, kml, rss, etc...
And this indeed is what geoserver uses to return KML. Take a regular WMS request for a png image and change the output format to "kml" and you will get kml back. http://docs.geoserver.org/2.0.x/en/user/googleearth/index.html -Justin Imran Rajjad wrote: > Hi, > > doesnt wms service responds with an image file,actualy i want to respond > with a kml file that can be saved on disk and later opened in Google Earth! > > I`l take a look at the link, thanx a lot > > regards, > Imran > > On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 6:21 PM, Justin Deoliveira <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > There are a number of classes in the wms module for generating kml: > > > http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src/wms/src/main/java/org/vfny/geoserver/wms/responses/map/kml/ > > There coupled tightly to the WMS chain but could probably be reused. > > -Justin > > Imran Rajjad wrote: > > Hi list, > > Im trying to retrieve a geometry as KML file through my custom > servlet, what libraries/class/functions do i require to get a > KML response? my servlet is not working through wfs > > regards, > Imran > > -- > I.R > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports > 2008 30-Day trial.
