[GeoNode-devel] generation of layer's thumbnail with a custom base map (Paolo Corti)

Mon Feb 25 23:34:25 PST 2019

Dear Paolo,

sorry I´ve might have sent you on a wrong track. But I think printing plugin (mapfish) and printng are different extensions.

The one you might be interested in should be:
https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/tree/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng <https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/tree/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng>

where you find some docs here:
https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/doc/api.rst <https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/doc/api.rst>

In case of the caching behavior maybe it helps  to dig a bit in code
https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintUserAgentCallback.java#L156 <https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintUserAgentCallback.java#L156>

So from what I see caching has nothing to do with GWC but with a base64 string written to cacheDIr:
https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintUserAgentCallback.java#L147 <https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintUserAgentCallback.java#L147>

Where cacheDir is the java.io.tmpdir value.  Which might be just /tmp or /var/tmp on Linux plattforms.
https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintSupport.java#L28 <https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintSupport.java#L28>

My guess is your baselayer is kicked out somewhere here:
https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintUserAgentCallback.java#L92 <https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintUserAgentCallback.java#L92>

Can you double check that your sent html fulfills all requirements like img tags, correct style attribute with
no display: none etc in other words what the if statements expect?

Another thing what could fail is when loading the resource:
https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintUserAgentCallback.java#L78 <https://github.com/boundlessgeo/geoserver-exts/blob/46dc818caf57d2b5ca1d04e8f40926c67b11493f/printng/src/main/java/org/geoserver/printng/PrintUserAgentCallback.java#L78>

Unfortunately I´m not a Java guy at all, so others might definitly know better.

Best regards,

Toni
