EPSG:WGS84(DD) is not a valid SRS
---------------------------------
Key: GEOS-3223
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3223
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: WMS
Affects Versions: 1.7.5
Environment: Linux (Ubuntu)
Reporter: Nick Askew
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Priority: Minor
I was trying to connect a WMS client to the GeoServer installation and it
crashed saying that WGS84(DD) was not a valid number. On checking I see that
the default installation of GeoServer includes the SRS EPSG:WGS84(DD) as the
first item. Clearly that applicaion should not have crashed but on checking
with the OGC standards 1.1.1
(http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=1081&version=1&format=pdf)
I found the following.
6.5.5.1 EPSG Namespace for SRS
The EPSG namespace makes use of the European Petroleum Survey Group tables
[EPSG], which define numeric identifiers (the EPSG "CRS code," corresponding to
the
field "COORD_REF_SYS_CODE" in the EPSG database) for many common projections
and which associate projection or coordinate metadata (such as measurement
units or
central meridian) for each identifier. An SRS name in the EPSG namespace
includes only
the prefix and the identifier, not any additional parameters. This format is
used both as
the value of the SRS parameter in a service request and as the value of an
<SRS> element
in the Capabilities XML.
This clearly states that the value after EPSG: should be a numeric identifier.
It is my opinion, therefore, that the default installation should not include
this value.
