[OpenLayers-Dev] ESRI // WCS DescribeCoverage 1.1.0

Wanted to check if this was resolved. I'm also seeing internally at Esri for input, but would be good to have a more clear description of the issue. We follow the spec and passed the compliance tests so at least something is correct there.

I have a public WCS we can use for testing:
http://geoss.esri.com/arcgis/services/gmed_physical/bo_sst_mean/ImageServer/WCSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WCS

that's on my server so I can do some configuration as needed.

This service shows:
xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wcs/1.1"
xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1"

Which seems to be in line with the spec. What is not working for you?

Have you run the ArcGIS response through an XML validator?

Can you share the full response including all the (non-public) schemas it references?

Best regards,
Bart

Hey Chris,

the way to verify who is right is to look at the schema, so:

http://schemas.opengis.net/wcs/1.1/wcsDescribeCoverage.xsd

it defines:

xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1"


so this is the correct namespace URI to use.

Best regards,
Bart

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply.  I am less familiar with the standards than you are, so can you tell me how one can determine that the second schema is for WCS 1.1.0, and not the first?  From the names, I would conclude that the first is correct, and that the second is... also correct?

In any event, I will need to find a way to parse this document (I don't control the server, and our partner who does is probably unable to resolve things on their end).  I will look into Bart's suggestion to see if that offers a way forward.

Thanks!

Chris

I believe you've hit an oddity in the WCS schemas.

Look at this one:
http://schemas.opengis.net/wcs/1.1.0/wcsDescribeCoverage.xsd

Now look at this one:
http://schemas.opengis.net/wcs/1.1/wcsDescribeCoverage.xsd

Do you see a difference in the ows namespace?  From what I recall, the second one is correct.  A few years ago I was in a similar situation.  I'm thinking ArcGIS Server might be generating XML using the wrong schemas.

So I believe OL is correct and the "problem" is with ArcGIS Server, leading from the OGC schema confusion.  I'd love to know the history behind it.

Do you have control over the ArcGIS Server instance?  It could be something you want to bring up with ESRI.

Cheers,

Tim

Hello,

I am getting the attached response from an ArcGIS WCS server, with request DescribeCoverage and protocol version 1.1.0.  OpenLayers (latest 1.x from GitHub) cannot retrieve the Title or Abstract attributes because the namespaces referenced in the OpenLayers.Format.WCSDescribeCoverage.v1_1_0 object conflict with what is referenced in the document.

Specifically, the OpenLayers namespaces object includes this line:

    ows: "http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1"<http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1>

This in turn is used to generate a namespaceAlias lookup, which will return "ows" when looking up "http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1"<http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1>. However, in this case, I need "ows" to be mapped to "http://www.opengis.net/ows"<http://www.opengis.net/ows>.  If I make that change in the namespaces definition, tests break.  Unfortunately, given the way the aliases are defined, I cannot add a second namespace that maps to "ows", which might fix my problem.

I am unsure how to proceed.  I can't tell if I am encountering a misbehaving server, or if this is just a limitation of the way OpenLayers is architected (hard-coded namespaces that can only have one namespace map to a given alias).  Or have I misunderstood something at a more fundamental level?

Thanks for your advice!

Chris
