RE: [OpenMap Users] Problem with WMSPlugin

Using it as a layer seems to work, except that it cannot make the
connection, but I'll figure that out.

Thanks!

Hi Keith,

This error usually happens when the class cannot be created with an
empty constructor. This usually happens as a result of a classpath
error, or a misspelling in the properties, like a misnamed classname
used in the .class property. The properties you've provided don't seem
to have a spelling or naming problem, so I'd check the classpath or
contents of the openmap.jar if you've rebuild it.

The other thing you might want to try is treating the plugin as a layer
in the properties file. Here's what I have for my WMSPlugIn:

wmspi_NHD.class=com.bbn.openmap.plugin.wms.WMSPlugIn
wmspi_NHD.prettyName=Cubewerx WMS Server
wmspi_NHD.wmsserver=http://demo.cubewerx.com/demo/cubeserv/cubeserv.cgi
wmspi_NHD.wmsversion=1.0.0
wmspi_NHD.format=GIF
wmspi_NHD.transparent=true
wmspi_NHD.backgroundcolor=0xbdde83
wmspi_NHD.layers= < you'll have to add your own layer descriptions here
>

where wmspi_NHD is the markername used in the openmap.layers property

Hope this helps,

Don
