Hi, Currently OpenJUMP throws a NPE when trying to make a connection with a WMS and if the answer from the server is not what was expected Try this - Add WMS layer, use url http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?SERVICE=WFS - Press next - Get NPE
It would better to tell user that something abnormal happened and print the message from the server if user presses the Show details button. A harder to handle may be the case when WMS layer is already added to the map but then something goes wrong and server sends an error message in XML format instead of a map. What happens now is that OJ does nothing. It can't show the map because server did not send it but it does not show or log the error message. We can simulate this case. This is a working GetMap URL http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms? SERVICE=WMS& REQUEST=GetMap& SERVICE=WMS& VERSION=1.1.0& WIDTH=459& HEIGHT=351& LAYERS=topp:states& TRANSPARENT=TRUE& FORMAT=image%2Fpng& BBOX=-124.731,15.078911764705884,-66.97,59.24908823529412& SRS=EPSG:4326& STYLES= Now let's assume that there is some trouble on the server side and topp:states layer is not available. The server will send an XML error message with MIME type application/vnd.ogc.se_xml We can see how such an error message looks like by making a GetMap request with a non-existing layer http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms? SERVICE=WMS& REQUEST=GetMap& SERVICE=WMS& VERSION=1.1.0& WIDTH=459& HEIGHT=351& LAYERS=topp:foo& TRANSPARENT=TRUE& FORMAT=image%2Fpng& BBOX=-124.731,15.078911764705884,-66.97,59.24908823529412& SRS=EPSG:4326& STYLES= A good behavior would be to show the error message or print it to the log file. OpenJUMP should do some brain work here: "I was asking for image/png but got back something with a different MIME type, so it means that it is an error and I will tell it" . It is possible that MIME types do not match exactly with MIME types like image/png; mode=8bit. However, if the response is of type application/vnd.ogc.se_xml it is certainly not an image and it could safely be reported as an error. -Jukka Rahkonen- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
