I'm trying to define a custom projection by parsing a Wkt string. I mistakenly developed my test app against gt2-referencing, gt2-main and gt2-geometry from Maven and it worked. I believe the latest versions for these dependencies are from 2008(!).

When I switched to using version 17.0 of gt-referencing, gt-main and gt-geometry from Maven instead, I get an exception when I run my test app. The full exception text is:

I guess the key text here is:

Provider org.geotools.referencing.operation.projection.AzimuthalEquidistant$Provider could not be instantiated"

The code in question is pretty simple but I'll include it here for completeness:

CoordinateReferenceSystem targetCRS = targetCRS = factory.createFromWKT(s);

I'm not sure if I'm missing a dependency from Maven, but I don't think so as the AzimuthalEquidistant class is in the gt-referencing dependency.

The funny thing is, the code continues to run and successfully completes otherwise. The output is reported as a "WARNING" so I can probably ignore it. But I'm curious why the "warning" occurs, even though the code should be available in the compiled JAR.

I am adding my custom project string. This is an early test application so I'm ok with using hard coded values:

private static final String REFERENCE_SYSTEM = "PROJCS[\"WGS 84 / CYUL Local TM\"," + "  GEOGCS[\"WGS 84\","
        + "    DATUM[\"World Geodetic System 1984\","
        + "      SPHEROID[\"WGS 84\", 6378137.0, 298.257223563, AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"7030\"]],"
        + "      AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"6326\"]]," + "    PRIMEM[\"Greenwich\", 0.0, AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"8901\"]],"
        + "    UNIT[\"degree\", 0.017453292519943295]," + "    AXIS[\"Geodetic longitude\", EAST],"
        + "    AXIS[\"Geodetic latitude\", NORTH]," + "    AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"4326\"]],"
        + "  PROJECTION[\"Transverse Mercator\", AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"9807\"]],"
        + "  PARAMETER[\"central_meridian\", -73.736055]," + "  PARAMETER[\"longitude_of_origin\", -73.736055],"
        + "  PARAMETER[\"latitude_of_origin\", 45.470006667]," + "  PARAMETER[\"scale_factor\", 1.0],"
        + "  PARAMETER[\"false_easting\", 0.0]," + "  PARAMETER[\"false_northing\", 0.0]," + "  UNIT[\"m\", 1.0],"
        + "  AXIS[\"Easting\", EAST]," + "  AXIS[\"Northing\", NORTH]," + "  AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"3997\"]]";

What may I have missed?

  • I think that your string (which it would be helpful to see) contains a parameter LONGITUDE_OF_CENTRE which GeoTools doesn't recognise

  • I added the string as requested. @PolyGeo, why did you edit my post?

I'm not sure what's happening here, I created the following:

import org.geotools.referencing.ReferencingFactoryFinder;
import org.opengis.referencing.FactoryException;
import org.opengis.referencing.crs.CRSFactory;
import org.opengis.referencing.crs.CoordinateReferenceSystem;

public class MakeProj {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws FactoryException {
    final String REFERENCE_SYSTEM = "PROJCS[\"WGS 84 / CYUL Local TM\"," + "  GEOGCS[\"WGS 84\","
        + "    DATUM[\"World Geodetic System 1984\","
        + "      SPHEROID[\"WGS 84\", 6378137.0, 298.257223563, AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"7030\"]],"
        + "      AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"6326\"]]," + "    PRIMEM[\"Greenwich\", 0.0, AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"8901\"]],"
        + "    UNIT[\"degree\", 0.017453292519943295]," + "    AXIS[\"Geodetic longitude\", EAST],"
        + "    AXIS[\"Geodetic latitude\", NORTH]," + "    AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"4326\"]],"
        + "  PROJECTION[\"Transverse Mercator\", AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"9807\"]],"
        + "  PARAMETER[\"central_meridian\", -73.736055]," + "  PARAMETER[\"longitude_of_origin\", -73.736055],"
        + "  PARAMETER[\"latitude_of_origin\", 45.470006667]," + "  PARAMETER[\"scale_factor\", 1.0],"
        + "  PARAMETER[\"false_easting\", 0.0]," + "  PARAMETER[\"false_northing\", 0.0]," + "  UNIT[\"m\", 1.0],"
        + "  AXIS[\"Easting\", EAST]," + "  AXIS[\"Northing\", NORTH]," + "  AUTHORITY[\"EPSG\",\"3997\"]]";

    CRSFactory factory = ReferencingFactoryFinder.getCRSFactory(null);
    CoordinateReferenceSystem targetCRS = factory.createFromWKT(REFERENCE_SYSTEM);
    System.out.println(targetCRS.toWKT());
  }

}

which produces this with no error or warning:

PROJCS["WGS 84 / CYUL Local TM", 
  GEOGCS["WGS 84", 
    DATUM["World Geodetic System 1984", 
      SPHEROID["WGS 84", 6378137.0, 298.257223563, AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]], 
      AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]], 
    PRIMEM["Greenwich", 0.0, AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]], 
    UNIT["degree", 0.017453292519943295], 
    AXIS["Geodetic longitude", EAST], 
    AXIS["Geodetic latitude", NORTH], 
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]], 
  PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"], 
  PARAMETER["central_meridian", -73.736055], 
  PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin", 45.47000666700001], 
  PARAMETER["scale_factor", 1.0], 
  PARAMETER["false_easting", 0.0], 
  PARAMETER["false_northing", 0.0], 
  UNIT["m", 1.0], 
  AXIS["Easting", EAST], 
  AXIS["Northing", NORTH], 
  AUTHORITY["EPSG","3997"]]

So without more code and the exact maven dependencies I can't reproduce the issue.

  • Ok, thanks, this is great. I'll have to inspect my Maven dependencies carefully as there may be something amiss in there. But that's a good catch.
