[OpenLayers-Users] Can't get GetLegendGraphic to work with &SLD=

[Kimball, David (DCR)]

Hi,

Can anyone help me troubleshoot why this doesn't return a legend
graphic?

http://giswebservices.massgis.state.ma.us/geoserver/wms?VERSION=1.1.0&RE
QUEST=GetLegendGraphic&LAYER=massgis:DCR.ROADS_TRAILS_POINT&SLD=http://m
aps.massgis.state.ma.us/dcr/trails/sld/DCR.ROADS_TRAILS_POINT--Type_Max_
18000.sld.xml&WIDTH=16&HEIGHT=16&FORMAT=image/png

It returns a file called "wms" that contains this error message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><!DOCTYPE
ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM
"http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/WMS_exception_1_1_1.dtd">
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1" >   <ServiceException>
      org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.
Content is not allowed in prolog.
</ServiceException></ServiceExceptionReport>

The layer massgis:DCR.ROADS_TRAILS_POINT and the SLD file
http://maps.massgis.state.ma.us/dcr/trails/sld/DCR.ROADS_TRAILS_POINT--T
ype_Max_18000.sld.xml work fine in a GetMap request [see
http://maps.massgis.state.ma.us/dcr/trails/DCR_RoadTrail12.html - you
need to zoom in to see the point layer].  Any idea why I'm not getting a
legend image?  The URL looks like the URLs I've seen on the web and in
other people's emails to this group as far as I can tell.  If I remove
the &SLD=... portion of the URL it works (returns a simple default black
dot legend).  And I've had no problem getting legends with &STYLE=...
where the SLD file resides inside GeoServer as opposed to being a file
on the web.   (note: the server is GeoServer).

Thanks a lot,

David
