Description

The wms caps seem to be cached... forever. Try the following:

  • connect uDig to Geoserver WMS
  • look at the layer titles showing up in the catalog
  • change a title in the GeoServer administration
  • right click in the catalog, reset the WMS... nothing
  • restart uDig... nothing, the title is still the old one
  • kill the WMS and reconnect... still nothing, the title is still the same!!!
  • stop uDig, wipe out the freaking uDig workspace, restart, reconnect
  • aah, finally the new title show sup

The same seems to go for WFS capabilities... this makes it very hard to use uDig to double check metadata associated with layers (and reading the XML from the caps is not my idea of fun...)

You can right click and "reset" the capabilities will be re-fetches; I think that should kick the titles as well :-( I may need to ask Jesse about titles.

For WMS-C we are now caching capabilities between runs; and checking the WMS sequence number to tell when to refresh. Can you tell me if geoserver respects WMS sequence number Andrea? A similar trick can be applied to WMS.

Jody, sometimes I really wonder if you read what I type. I said "right click in the catalog, reset the WMS... nothing". Reset is useless, it does not force the titles to be updated.

Bleck - you are correct Andrea apparently did not read very well. Scheduling this for the 10 min udig code sprint in an effort to make sure Reset does its job.

I looked into this issue and udig is updating the georesource info. If you get the resource info you see the new title. So the issue here is that the catalog tree viewer isn't being updated. I was unsuccessful at trying to figure out how to update the catalog view. I think the events aren't getting hooked up correctly but I am not sure.

Mark has arranged a good patch for this; I have reviewed; it involves adding a getTitle() method to IResolve; and implementing the IService and IGeoResource getTitle() methods to take advantage of the IService persistent properties.

With the title now stored in a cache that the user can "reset" we advise users to "reset" a service in order to obtain a new title. I would like to see if we can automatically do something in the WMS case where....

but wait - we can grab the title from the info if known; and thus always have the latest (while still allowing the ui to display the last known title without connecting).

I have verified from my source code build; looks good. The title will update when udig is restarted; or if the user selects "Reset" on the service.
