[OpenLayers-Dev] ESRI // WCS DescribeCoverage 1.1.0

Mon May 26 01:32:14 PDT 2014

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

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.

However, in this case, I need "ows" to be mapped to "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 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?
