Loading multiple contexts

[Robert Hicks]

Is it possible to load multiple contexts, one being WMC and the other OWS? I want to use my existing WMC context but replace Demis with a base layer of Google maps. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

I assume you are asking if it is possible to load multiple contexts
for one map. Unfortunately not.

Replacing Demis with GMaps does not only require exchanging a layer,
but also switching to a different projection (EPSG:900913).

If, however, you are familiar with JavaScript, you can register a
listener for the context's loadModel event, and replace the base layer
(config.objects.mainMap.map.baseLayer) with a Google layer. In that
case you would just remove the demis layer from your context.

Regards,
Andreas.

Thanks a lot Andreas, I tried "hacking" in a new OpenLayers.Layer.Google(); as the default base map in the MapPaneOL file, and it loaded fine until we upgraded MapBuilder/OpenLayers now it gives me a JS error saying: 

objRef.model.map.getExtent() has no properties

http://10.0.20.23:8080/GlobalView/lib/widget/MapPaneOL.js

Line 527

I also tried putting in these options:

     var baseLayerOptions = {

      

              units: units,

              projection: proj.srsCode,

              maxExtent: maxExtent,

              maxResolution: maxResolution,  //"auto" if not defined in the context

              minResolution: minResolution,

              resolutions: resolutions,

              alpha: false,            //option for png transparency with ie6

              isBaseLayer: true,

              displayOutsideMaxExtent: objRef.displayOutsideMaxExtent,

              ratio: 1,

              singleTile: true,

              transitionEffect: objRef.transitionEffect,

              visibility: false,

              //moveTo: function(){return true}

              minScale: 50000000,

              maxScale: 1,

              numZoomLevels: 20

         };

What I am trying to do is use my standard WMC context with a Google base map, and this worked in the previous version of MB and OL (In Firefox), does anyone have experience with doing this or is it even possible?

Thanks in advance!
