[Geoserver-users] RES: RES: Adding new shapes with Directory of spatial data method

[Fabio da S. J. <fj...@un...>]

Ok Andrea, thanks for the fast reply. :D

About the issue with GoogleEarth, the graphics are published on a online
resource, and with openLayers it works correctly. I teste with point
symbolizers using online resources on Google Earth and it works fine.
Hope this information could be usefull.

Oh, I see. Yet, we cannot hide the ones already published because
people sometime need to publish the same layer multiple times with
a different alias (faking a different native srs or showing a different
default style).
In the new UI (on trunk, what will become GeoServer 2.0) we're at
liberty to add an option to hide the ones already published thought,
or else, to show the unpublished layers on the top.

Most likely Google Eearth cannot fetch the texture. When you setup
KML layers the graphics used must be on a online URL that is visible
to both GeoServer and Google Earth.
Yet, I'm not sure that will work for textures, I think I tried only
for point symbolizers. David?

Cheers
