Hi all (mostly Andrea though), I've been asked to look into making some KML improvements, so it seems that Andrea and I should coordinate a bit to avoid potential clobbering. I'm still just in the planning phase and probably won't be making KML changes in GeoServer soon (in the next few weeks.)
The improvements I'm talking about would relate to giving more faithful representations of PointSymbolizers in KML generated by GeoServer. Currently GeoServer discards most aspects of Marks (only fill and opacity are preserved) and does not always ensure that URLs included in KML will represent resources that are accessible to remote clients. Additionally, GeoServer encodes an SLD style with multiple PointSymbolizers into a KML Style with multiple IconStyles, which is invalid. (Google Earth will render these, but discards all but the last IconStyle.) Anyway, to resolve these issues I'm thinking about adding facilities to GeoServer for rendering individual icons for use in KML - both as a REST service for actual KML files and also as embedded files in KMZ. The KMLVectorTransformer would need to be modified to leverage these utilities as well. So I'm interested to try and formulate a plan that allows these new features to be developed without impeding or being impeded by the refactor. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/
