Print servlet not printing OpenLayers.TMS layer

Rate this Message:
I have an app I've inherited that was already using OpenLayers to do
its mapping, and I'm trying to get the MapFish print module to handle printing those maps to PDF. The application stores the map tiles in its own database and retrieves them by URL using a TMS layer which retrieves the tiles via a custom servlet that response to URLs encoding the tiles in the zoomlevel/row/column format. e.g. /app/map/0/0/1.jpg I'm using the printer servlet installed as part of the application (which is running under JBoss 4.2) and it seems to work fine. Calls to pdf/info.json return the appropriate result. When I try to print (I added a PrintAction stolen from the sample print app), I get a PDF file with the title, footer and nothing else. Or, if I have an overlay with extra features turned on, those appear as well (i.e. Icons, points of interest, etc.), though all in the center, not in their correct positions. The map is essentially 2 layers (3 if you count the unused base layer): 1. The TMS map layer 2. The features/points-of-interest overlay layer, which is a Vector layer 3. The non-existent base layer. The code creating them looks like this: map = new OpenLayers.Map('ext-gen43', options); layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector('POI'); tmsLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.TMS( mapTitle, mapUrl, {displayOutsideMaxExtent: false, layername: 'db', serviceVersion: '1.0', type:'png'} ); map.addLayers([tmsLayer, layer]); map.addLayer(new OpenLayers.Layer("No base layer",{isBaseLayer: true})); I only added the base layer after the printing wasn't working, it hasn't affected anything, but it was mentioned as a good idea on the "How to Optimize" page of the wiki. The printAction, customized, looks like this: var print = new mapfish.widgets.print.PrintAction({ map: map, configUrl: '/epso/pdf/info.json', overrides: {}, fillSpec: function(printCommand) { mapfish.widgets.print.PrintAction.prototype.fillSpec.call(this, printCommand); //our layout needs two fields... hard code them here printCommand.spec.comment = "No comment"; printCommand.spec.mapTitle = tmsLayer.name; printCommand.spec.layout = "A4 portrait"; printCommand.spec.pages = [ { center: [6, 45.5], scale: 4000000, dpi: 190 } ] layers: [ { type: 'TMS', layers: ['db'], baseURL: tmsLayer.mapURL, format: 'image/png' }, { type: 'Vector', layers: ['POI'], baseURL: '', format: 'image/png' } ] } }); Here is my config.yaml. joker.spiekerpoint.com is my machine, and we run via https:, so that's why it's port 8443: #=========================================================================== # allowed DPIs #=========================================================================== dpis: - 254 - 190 - 127 - 56 #=========================================================================== # the allowed scales #=========================================================================== scales: - 25000 - 50000 - 100000 - 200000 - 500000 - 1000000 - 2000000 - 4000000 - 8000000 - 16000000 - 32000000 - 64000000 #=========================================================================== # the list of allowed hosts #=========================================================================== # - !ipMatch1 # ip: www.camptocamp.org # - !dnsMatch # host: labs.metacarta.com # port: 80 # - !dnsMatch # host: demo.mapfish.org # port: 80 hosts: - !localMatch dummy: true - !dnsMatch host: joker.spiekerpoint.com port: 8443 layouts: #=========================================================================== A4 portrait: #=========================================================================== mainPage: rotation: true pageSize: A4 header: height: 50 items: - !text font: Helvetica fontSize: 30 align: right text: '${mapTitle}' items: - !map spacingAfter: 30 width: 440 height: 483 - !text text: '${comment}' spacingAfter: 30 - !scalebar maxSize: 150 footer: height: 30 items: - !columns items: - !text backgroundColor: #FF0000 align: left text: © 2006-2009 Hour-Zero Crisis Consulting Ltd - !text align: right text: 'Page ${pageNum}' ----EOF---- Any thoughts on where my problem is?

Hi Mike
The print module does not support TMS layers. It supports TileCache layers though. Sorry for that.

Re: Print servlet not printing OpenLayers.TMS layer

Rate this Message:
Ok, so now I've read a bunch of stuff about TileCache, I'd like to get
confirmation about my understanding of the situation. Reviewing what I think is the relevant background: Currently, our app stores tiles (pre-made, via gdal2tiles.py) in our own database, for many different maps, which are uploaded by the user. We serve them up via a custom servlet that accepts URLs of the form: https://joker.spiekerpoint.com:8443/epso/servlet/maps?mapid=13&file=1.0/db/2/0/2.png We are using OpenLayers to display these maps on the client side, using a call like: tmsLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.TMS( mapTitle, mapUrl, {displayOutsideMaxExtent: false, layername: 'db', serviceVersion: '1.0', type:'png'} ); where "mapUrl" is the request URL above, starting at "/epso/...". Now, you say the MapFish print module supports TileCache, I'm not sure where that fits into this model. Does TileCache essentially fit "in between" our servlet at the request from the MapFish module, essentially translating the request from MapFish? Or is it just another way of requesting the same tiles that our servlet is providing? Or do I have the whole model/architecture confused? Perhaps some "diagrams" will help. Our current system: OL --request--> Our servlet --> DB ==> returns map tile stored in database With TileCache: 1) OL --request--> TC --> Our servlet --> DB ==> returns map tile stored in datbase or, 2) OL --request--> TC --> DB ==> returns map tile stored in datbase If one of these two is right (#2 might require some extra code/glue), I'm still unclear then how to configure the print module to use the TC way. Do I have to create an OpenLayers.Layer.TileCache() object the same way as the OpenLayers.Layer.TMS() object above?

Do I have to create an OpenLayers.Layer.TileCache() object the Layer.TileCache allows accessing tiles arranged in a certain way (the TC way) directly from the HTTP server (Apache) - TC isn't even needed. This works if all your tiles are in the cache. The print module supports Layer.TileCache layers.

Re: Print servlet not printing OpenLayers.TMS layer

Returning to this thread after a long time off, due to distraction and changed priorities.
Once again, I'm trying to get MapFish printing to work for a TMS layer in our OpenLayers app. I know MapFish doesn't currently support TMS layers, and I can't find any other tools that can translate TMS to another format MapFish understands (e.g. WMS), so I'm wondering what it would take for me to add support for TMS to MapFish, at least in a limited way needed for our app? Or is there a tool that can do the translation/presentation of TMS as WMS (or whatever) so MapFish can print our maps? I've looked at GeoWebCache and GeoMoose, but at best they serve up WMS like TMS, not the other way around.

Is there nowhere to get information on how to develop new layer support for MapFish? I have been unable to find anything on the mapfish sites, or via Google. I'd rather not try to develop blind. Can anyone help?

The MapFish print module has been developed with priority to support
the types of layers needed by the funding projects. There are now requests to support some extra types of layers, including GeoWebCache. It would be interesting to collaborate and to include some how your needs . Do you have any funding for this improvement or are you ready to collaborate with the development.
