I am testing this with 1.1RC4.
Strange things happen though, if I add my Geoserver WMS layer I get a
Generic Cartesian 2D CRS in the map. If I change the projection to
RD/New the coordinates end up being silly (-1, -1).
If I add my Mapserver WMS first, it starts in the correct CRS (WGS84 is
the first one advertized). Then I add Geoserver, and the layer does not
render since "Coordinate Reference System of Data is unknown".
Update: strangely enough this disappears after a restart of uDIG!
The accuracy of GetFeatureInfo seems a lot better! Good work Richard.
I was only able to test EPSG:28992 (the native projection) since
Geoserver's WMS GetFeatureInfo does not work in a reprojected CRS :-(

Hi Richard,
I can test it, no problem. My plane to Lausanne leaves only Monday
morning :-)

Ok, crazy buffering removed. uDig should make sane WMS GetFeatureInfo
requests now. This is on trunk, and will be reflected in the release we
are trying to put out (later today).
It definitely needs some testing, in particular when both client and
server side reprojection are involved. (The fix was written in haste and
may not be perfect)
Bart, are you able to test it once we have a release ready?

uDIG requests a 3x3 image. And then it requests the topleft pixel
(X=1, Y=1).
I don't know the internals ofcourse, but should it not request the
center pixel (X=2, Y=2)? At least that gives the correct results for
my testcase :-)
Why else would it request 3x3, it might as well request 1x1 or 2x2
if it is using the topleft pixel.

In that case we will need to ask Richard to implement a different
plugin for the InfoTool for each renderer he creates. Not fun but
possible. I did think he ended up making a 2x2 reference image and
selecting the first pixel (after having a few WMS fail on a 1x1
image reference image.

I think the problem with this approach, as now demonstrated, is
that it doesn't work :) It might take something a little more
"arbitrary", like a pretend image of "about 300 pixels in size"
with the click point in the "middle of that image" to get a
correct-seeming answer. Sending back a one-pixel map with a click
"on the pixel" is begging to hit corner cases in the WMS server
side code.

Ah, interesting question ... because of a difference between what
we display and what we requested from the WMS.
- often we will have to make several requests and tile content
onto the screen in WMS happy chunks,
- or we will need to make slightly larger requests and resample
them onto the screen (as mentioned previously).
It was just easier to back project a pixel and use it to make a
request in the correct location once, rather then trying to
reverse several rendering process es to exactly match the
original request (aka the approach we used for uDig 0.8).

Hi Jody,
why did you end up changing the BBOX and width/height
client-side? Why not leave it up to the WMS server like Gaia does?
Best regards,
Bart

Indeed, we eventually figured out that WMS getInfo is
considered a check in the center of a single pixel.
Thinking,
Richard for a while we forced the renderers to leave us a hook
so we could make our info request, is there any way we can ask
the WMS renderers to leave some hints on the layer blackboard
about the image rendered? The same plugin making the rendering
contribution can provide the hint ...

Hi Jody,
the projections I am trying are both supported by the WMS.
Unfortunately I have no Java hosting, but it's a simple
shapefile which can be set up with Geoserver. I am using 1.4.
The shapefile can be found here (200 Kb, native projection
EPSG:28992, uDIG set to RD / New projection):
http://www.osgis.nl/lausanne/nl-prov.zip
An example request which uDIG is fyring off is (this request
is really strange since the BBOX is not the BBOX of the map
image shown anymore! and X and Y are always 1):
/geoserver/wms?Y=1&X=1&SERVICE=WMS&INFO_FORMAT=text/html&LAYERS=ogctestbed:nl-prov&FORMAT=image/png&HEIGHT=3&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&WIDTH=3&BBOX=188907.50415179788,391802.21024004533,192453.4125990071,395348.1186872545&SRS=EPSG:28992&QUERY_LAYERS=ogctestbed%3Anl-prov&VERSION=1.1.1
HTTP/1.1" 200 447
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Bart

Good question, it makes a direct call when able to make a
direct rendering of the WMS image (ie udig is using a
coordinate system supported by the WMS). In rare cases it may
have to resample the image onto the screen (making up for
lack of WMS projections), we could check that we back project
the query into the coordinate space of the original image...
but as I recall I wrote this one and went to some trouble to
get it right.
Can you point us at a service illustrating the problem,
perhaps in a jira report.
Jody
Hi list,
how accurate is uDIG with respect to GetFeatureInfo?
I have tried it against 2 WMS's, Geoserver and Deegree, and
at the borders of provinces, a lot of times the wrong
element is returned. Ofcourse this could also be due to the
WMS's.
So I checked Gaia, and using Gaia it is very accurate for
Geoserver, so I am assuming it is a uDIG problem.
Any input appreciated.
Best regards,
Bart
