See WMS output formats for supported values. Value is minx,miny,maxx,maxy in units of the SRS. Style names may be empty in the list, to use default layer styling.Ĭrs is the parameter key used in WMS 1.3.0. Value is a comma-separated list of style names, Styles in which layers are to be rendered. Value is a comma-separated list of layer names. The standard parameters for the GetMap operation are: GeoServer provides a wide variety of output formats, described in WMS output formats. The response is a map image, or other map output artifact, depending on the format requested. The information needed to specify values for parameters such as layers, styles and srs can be obtained from the Capabilities document. The core parameters specify one or more layers and styles to appear on the map,Īnd a width, height, and format for the output. The GetMap operation requests that the server generate a map. In GeoServer layers are named in the form “namespace:layer”.Įach layer provides service metadata such as title, abstract and keywords. Lists the available coordinate systems and layers. If desired GeoServer can be configured to disable support for certain WMS operations. The response is a Capabilities XML document that is a detailed description of the WMS service.Ĭontains service metadata such as the service name, keywords, and contact information for the organization operating the server.ĭescribes the operations the WMS service provides and the parameters and output formats for each operation. GeoServer relaxes these requirements (by setting the default version if omitted),īut for standard-compliance they should always be specified. The WMS standard requires that requests always includes these three parameters. The request parameter specifies the GetCapabilities operation. The version parameter refers to which version of WMS is being requested. The service parameter tells the WMS server that a WMS request is forthcoming. There are three parameters being passed to the WMS server, service=wms, version=1.1.1, and request=GetCapabilities. When specified, will override the global WMS setting or layer / group setting for the same behaviour. When false, the Root element will be included only if there are multiple top level layers, if there is only one, it will be the root layer itself. Request the capabilities document in a certain formatįlag to enable/disable the standard Root top level Layer element. Limits response to layers in a given namespace They are fully documented in the WMS vendor parameters section.

GeoServer provides the following vendor-specific parameters The parameters for the GetCapabilities operation are: The GetCapabilities operation requests metadata about the operations, services, and data (“capabilities”) that are offered by a WMS server. Note that this format is disabled by default (See Global variables affecting WMS). See WMS vendor parameters to change the callback name. Return a JsonP in the form: paddingOutput(…jsonp…). It also works with the timeout vendor parameter. Can be used with the WMS Configuration Limits to return a partial image even if the request is terminated for exceeding one of these limits. Returns everything that was rendered at the time the rendering process threw an exception.

This is a GeoServer vendor parameter and only applicable for GetMap requests. The supported values for exceptions are:ĮXCEPTIONS=application/_inimageĮXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.gs.wms_partial

Formats in which WMS can report exceptions.
