Hi all,
I was able to get a Google map to show up but not without many issues. All I
had to do is to add the google maps api script call to the host html and add
the following to my code:
// create a google maps layer
GoogleOptions ggLayerOptions = new GoogleOptions();
ggLayerOptions.setSphericalMercator(false);
Google ggLayer = new Google("Google Base", ggLayerOptions);
myMap.addLayer(ggLayer);
The issues I am getting are as follow:
1- First, on page load, the GoogleMaps layer seems to cover a small area of
the map extent until there is a resize event then it takes the same
dimensions as the MapWidget.
2- GM doesn't respond to pan/move events when you use
setSphericalMercator(true). Also, why is there such a function since all
Google Maps are in Spherical Mercator?
I am still playing with this and will report on more as I find them.
Thanks,

Hi AbdelHadi,
Thanks for giving feedback on using the Google Maps layer. I really
appreciate that you share your experiences.
Issue 1 you are describing is something that I have seen before for WMS
layers on Firefox, but only in a Ext-GWT app (strangely enough it does not
happen in the showcase). Up to now I have not been able to track down the
problem. This is one to drill down on when I have some time, because it is a
nasty problem.
Issue 2 could have something to do with the isFixed property of EventPane,
but that is purely upon glancing the API docs. Anyway, I added
EventPaneOptions and GoogleOptions now extend this class.
The function setSphericalMercator is a setter for the sphericalMercator
property of the Goolge Layer in OL. It also strikes me as strange to have
such a property on the Google Layer itself, as it affects the entire map,
but it looks like a convenience feature of OL to set a property on the
Google Layer in order to make vector layers and the like work.
Greetings,
Edwin

Hi Abdelhadi,
With respect to issue 1. Do you see that in a plain GWT application? And is
it across browsers?
We have a problem like you are describing when using Ext-GWT, where WMS
layers only load in a small corner of the map, until resize. This happens
only in Firefox for us. In Firefox 3.5 the map is completely gone. We do not
experience this problems in a plain GWT app and it seems to have something
to do with the lifecycle of Ext-GWT components (they only get a size when
rendered if I am correct).

Edwin

Hi Edwin,
Sorry for taking this long to answer your email. It's a little bit crazy at
work lately and I haven't gotten the time to look at this until now.
In my previous email, I was refering to the Google maps layer and not any
WMS layer. And I tested this in the hosted mode browser, firefox 3.5 and IE6
and it behaves the same in all of them. Plus, I am not using EXT-GWT (YET)
But, going back to the wms, playing with the transparency, I came across
another issue. It seems that a wms layer has to be set as Baselayer in order
for it to be transparent. Otherwise you get no maps. Have you ever
encountered this?
By looking at both the gwt-openlayers and the Javascript openlayers code
(not so confidently since I am still a js newbie), it seems that the
setIsBaseLayer does much more than just setting some property to true, which
setIsTransparent does.
Thanks again,
Cheers,
-Hadi

Hi Abdelhadi,
The problem you encounter with the Google maps layer seem to be quite nasty.
Unfortunetaly I am also pretty stacked with work, so I am not sure when I
have time to dive into this.
With the WMS the any layer can be transparent, as long as the image format
you select supports this. The setIsTransparent property is a property on the
params object if I am correct and it sets a parameter of the WMS request. In
the WMS specification there is a parameter transparent that indicates if
places for which no data is avalaible should be rendered transparent
(otherwise they are rendered to some default colour of the WMS, probably
white or black). Setting isTransparent has nothing to do with the
transparency of the complete layer in the OpenLayers map, which you can
indicate by a float on the WMS object.
BaseLayers are kind of a strange beast. They were needed to support
third-party layers like Google Maps, as far as I understand. We are using
WMS layers and the baselayer is some transparent fixed image that is not
shown in the LayerList.
Greetings,
Edwin
