[geotk] code for parsing WMS Capabilities docs

[Jonathan Blower]

Hi Johann,

Thanks very much indeed, sounds like just what I want.  Is the javadoc online anywhere?  http://pending.geotoolkit.org is not working for me (linked from main-line Geotoolkit javadoc).

I want to harvest Capabilities documents from WMSs and store them in a database.  I don't suppose you (or anyone else) has created a relational database schema to hold such information?  (The WMSs in question make full use of ELEVATION and TIME dimensions.)

Cheers, Jon

Hello jonathan,

The WMS module from geotk-pending is :
<groupId>org.geotoolkit.pending</groupId>
<artifactId>geotk-client-wms</artifactId>

It's not much documented but straight forward like all the clients 
module we have.
The starting class of each module have the name of the server, ex : 
WebMapServer, WebFeatureServer ...
The constructor takes the distant server URL and the version.
Once you have this object you can create all types of requests, 
createGetMap ... and a method to
access the capabilities.(you might have to cast the returned object in a 
more specific version, depends on what you are looking for).

For WMS there is also the class WMSMapLayer which can be used in a 
MapContext for rendering purposes.

Ask if you have any problem. ;)
