[mapserver-users] GetLegendGraphic: STYLE support for GROUP-layers (bug?)

[Erik Gustafson]

Hi group,

I have a problem with GetLegendGraphic, it ignores the STYLE-parameter in a
specific situation.

1. We have layer groups (GROUP keyword)
2. We have multiple styles in a WMS service
3. We have a default WMS style, by using the CLASSGROUP keyword

the above is a common situation for our INSPIRE view services.
In this setup GetLegendGraphic ignores the STYLE parameter and always uses
the style set by the CLASSGROUP in the mapfile.
See examples below.

I guess this is a bug or missing feature? Or are we doing something wrong
in the mapfile? If it is a bug, do you want me to create an issue?

Thanks,
Erik Gustafson


Request examples:
mapserv?map=map.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=getleg
endgraphic&layer=GROUPNAME&format=image/png&sld_version=1.1.0&STYLE=DEFAULT
> Ok.

mapserv?map=map.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&REQUEST=getleg
endgraphic&layer=GROUPNAME&format=image/png&sld_version=
1.1.0&STYLE=ALTERNATE
> Not Ok. Expected STYLE=ALTERNATE from the classes named CLASS2 but got
STYLE=DEFAULT, the classes named CLASS1

Example mapfile:
MAP
  WEB
    METADATA
      "wms_enable_request" "*"
    END
  END

 LAYER
  GROUP "GROUPNAME"
  NAME  "LAYER1"
  CLASSGROUP "DEFAULT"

  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS ON

  CLASS
    NAME 'CLASS1'
    GROUP "DEFAULT"
    STYLE
      COLOR 0 0 255
    END
  END

  CLASS
    NAME 'CLASS2'
    GROUP "ALTERNATE"
    STYLE
      COLOR 255 0 0
      WIDTH 0.4
    END
  END
END

 LAYER
  GROUP "GROUPNAME"
  DEBUG 0
  NAME  "LAYER2"
  CLASSGROUP "DEFAULT"

  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS ON

  CLASS
    NAME 'CLASS1'
    GROUP "DEFAULT"
    STYLE
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 255
      WIDTH 0.4
    END
  END

  CLASS
    NAME 'CLASS2'
    GROUP "ALTERNATE"
    STYLE
      OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
      WIDTH 0.4
    END
  END
END
END

Currently we use a modified mapwms.c to work around this, which works for
us but maybe breaks other functionality.
