I was playing around with uDIG and realized that its WMS capabilities are awesome! The Global Mosaic perfectly fits a map I created! However, I was planning to use the WMS layer as an orientation for cleaning up my polygons, yet geoprocessing (merge etc.) is not very much straightforward in uDIG (is it?).

Therefore I wanted to load the WMS into QGIS (1.7.2). After I set up the connection as http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?

the connection works but when loading any service I get the following response:

Antwort: <?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/exception_1_1_1.dtd ">
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">
<ServiceException>
This server no longer provides full WMS services!
</ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>

Can anyone suggest a solution for correctly loading this WMS into QGIS?

  • "This server no longer provides full WMS services!" -> the service was discontinued by NASA. The server uDIG is using is probably another one, just copy the URL and use it to add a new connection in QGIS.

  • @Jens - Have you tried JPL's OnEarth WMS? This has the global mosaic layers. onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?

  • Hi, when I add your suggest URL, then I still get this error: "Map request error (Status: 200; Response: <?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "wms.jpl.nasa.gov/exception_1_1_1.dtd "> <ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1"> <ServiceException>" Meaning, it still looks for wms.jpl.nasa.gov...

  • onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetTileService this is the WMTS endpoint.

  • onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/… -- this a sample WMS request for image response.

JPL don't provide a WMS service any more (the clue is in the error message). I believe that what you have in UDig is some sort of tile service like WMTS or TMS.

This thread suggests that you need to use GDAL to load a TMS layer into QGis.
