GMSC Discussions

i try to create a new WMTS Feature. but GSMC tells me that the URL is invalid, even it is not.

the URL works:

https://maps.wien.gv.at/basemap/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities_31256.xml

but GMSC seems not to like the suffix " _31256"

regards

Hi Franz,

Does it work without the '_31256' for you? ie. https://maps.wien.gv.at/basemap/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml

It seems to for me in quick testing.

The only message I get from the console when using the original URL is 'is valid = false'. Not much information to go by there.

Unless you get good answer as to why its flagged invalid on this forum I suggest opening a support ticket for further investigation.

Hi Franz,

Upon further review I found the validation on the URLpath form field. The datatype for the Form Field is 'string' and as such the '_' isnt valid for Java parsing of string values. This would be the reason the message gets returned 'has to be a valid wmts url' which is a little misleading since as you see the URL itself is valid.

thanks for the investigation! i'll try to just input directly to the database instead of using the admin-form...

[fdriessen]

when i cange the url in the database (add the _31256) again. all other attributes are deleted again... there seems to be a validation on database level as well

As a workaround you could just download the WMTSCapabilities XML File,
rename it and put it on your own web server.

That would allow you to configure and use the service.

i tried that. but http://localhost/IPR/WMTSBasemap/WMTSCapabilities.xml is also not accepted as valid url... though It works when i call it in the browser

Try replacing "localhost" with the hostname of your server.

neither hostname nor IP works...
