[Gwt-openlayers-users] Problem trying to get WMS radar images

[Greg M. <Gre...@no...>]

Hello,

I am new to OpenLayers GWT and really like it a lot.
I am working with maps on a local GeoServer and it
works great.  I am running into difficulty trying to
load a WMS radar image from this site:
public static final String WMS_RADAR_URL = "http://radarcache.srh.noaa.gov/tilecache/tilecache.py";
   
using this method:

private Layer getRadarLayer() {
		WMSOptions wmsOptions = new WMSOptions();
		wmsOptions.setSingleTile(false);
		wmsOptions.setIsBaseLayer(false);
		wmsOptions.setBuffer(0);
		WMSParams wmsParams2 = new WMSParams();
		wmsParams2.setLayers("radar_slice");
		wmsParams2.setIsTransparent(true);
		wmsParams2.setFormat("image/png");
		JSObject jsObject = JSObject.createJSObject();
		jsObject.setProperty("radar", "NAT");
		jsObject.setProperty("level", "NET");
		jsObject.setProperty("tiled", "true");
		jsObject.setProperty("time", "2010-03-11T17:00");
		wmsParams2.setJSObject(jsObject);
		return new WMS("Radar", WMS_RADAR_URL, wmsParams2, wmsOptions);
}

The tilecache.py needs the variables set for radar=,level=,time= to grab the right image
am I doing this correctly?

Thanks,
