[Geomoose-users] GM2 - direct call to WMS without mapfile

[CoFIS Web]

Dear all,
do I understand correctly, that in GM2 I can include WMS into my 
application without having to us a local mapfile?

I try to include the Blue Marble Global Mosaic tiled WMS 
(http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetTileService) using the 
following lines in my mapbook:

<map-source name="background-wms" type="wms" tiled="true">
	<url>http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi</url>
	<layer name="global_mosaic"/>
	<param name="srs" value="EPSG:4326"/>
	<param name="format" value="image/jpeg"/>
</map-source>

<catalog>
<group title="Satellite images" expand="true" multiple="false">
	<layer title="Blue Marble Global Mosaic"
	src="background-wms/global_mosaic"/>
</group>
	...
</catalog>

When loading the layer, GM (according to the status bar in Firefox) 
loads data. However, the only thing displayed are red tiles - no 
satellite images.

Could someone please point me in the right direction what to change?

Thanks,
Nils
