OGC Web Mapping Service

The OGC Web Mapping Service (WMS) supplies WMS functionality.

This service is requested using the Standard Web Mapping Service (WMS) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Map_Service) URL request. This service supports 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 WMS versions.

Base URL Example:

http://<host>/fmeogc/<repository>/<workspace>.fmw

GetCapabilities URL Example:

http://<host>/fmeogc/<repository>/<workspace>.fmw?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.1.1

The result is a PNG, JPEG, GIF, or SVG file containing the requested features.

Requirements

This service requires a workspace that can write to PNG, JPEG, GIF, and/or SVG datasets, and that has the following published parameters:

bboxEast: Bounding Box East
bboxWest: Bounding Box West
bboxNorth: Bounding Box North
bboxSouth: Bounding Box South

Note: You must specify the bounding box coordinates in Latitude/Longitude, regardless of the destination coordinate system.

destCoordSystem: The coordinate system in which the final output is rendered.
BGCOLOR: The background color of the image specified by comma-
delimited RGB values. The range is from (0,0,0) to (1,1,1).
FEATURE_TYPES: White space delimited feature type names
OUTPUT_FORMAT: The value must be one of:

image/png
image/gif
image/jpeg
image/svg+xml

TRANSPARENT: Determines whether the image will be transparent. Values are TRUE or FALSE.
WIDTH: Width of the output image (in pixels)
HEIGHT: Height of the output image (in pixels)

Note: If a Coordinate System or Bounding Box is not submitted with the WMS query, default values are used. You can configure these default values within the Web User Interface.
