The layer has recorded the last error; produced by the last attempt to render it. If this value is non null a error icon appears on the layer; and you can see the message when the layer is selected in the status bar.
You can check this value yourself as a programmer; getStatusMessage; and check if the layer is in error using getStatus() == Layer.ERROR 2009/5/22 Mario Nuñez Jimenez <mario.nu...@atosresearch.eu>: > Mmmh I am not sure if I did explain myself properly... > anyway remember that the thing I am trying to achieve is to know when a layer > rendering has failed and when a layer rendering has works fine again. > This is to put a replacement layer if my main ones fail on rendering or to > quit the replacement layer if my main ones works fine again. > Regards. > > -----Original Message----- > From: udig-devel-boun...@lists.refractions.net > [mailto:udig-devel-boun...@lists.refractions.net] On Behalf Of Jody Garnett > Sent: viernes, 22 de mayo de 2009 8:24 > To: User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS > Subject: Re: [udig-devel] Catch and deal with rendering errors on mapview > > Here is a picture of what that looks like: > > The local geotiff I use displays instantly; the wms tile server takes > a while to come in the first time; but after that it is fast > (especially if you turn on disk caching so the tiles last between > runs).
