Place Name problem in Ubuntu

[nlneilson]

I will download the latest release, it is usually updated several times a week with changes, bug fixes, etc..

NASA***.java
constructor, that accepts only a placenameserviceset,
multiple instances in a list
requires a server to be instantiated properly.

These are all a bit confusing.

Why don't you try the latest also. There may be something related to your problem that has been "fixed".

NASA***.java was short for NASAWFSPlaceNameLayer.java, with one default constructor. The default constructor builds a PlaceNameServiceSet(defined in PlaceNameServiceSet.java). PlaceNameServiceSet requires a PlaceNameService(defined in PlaceNameService.java)

The PlaceNameServiceSet is in essence a data structure, which is a list of PlaceNameService objects. PlaceNameService.java, requires a string, called service, that is used in connecting to a server. Which I don't want to do.

The problem boils down to I'm trying to figure out how to use the NASAWFSPlaceNameLayer, without being connected to the internet.

I may not be much help on any service set, wms, etc..

When WWC# started the the images were pre tiled so there was no "tiling" on the server. It was much faster.

I tinkered with the wms for the FAA charts but it was not acceptable for several reasons:
The charts needed to be clipped and merged first and the resulting file was very large.
It was much slower.
A wms has to be on continuously.
Pre tiled they can be "served" like an external cache which is very fast with no wms.

If you have data in the cache that should be able to be displayed offline.

When I started this thread on 05-26-2011 there was no reply posted with a solution or even a suggestion. Maybe someone that is familiar on Ubuntu with the Place Name problem will have an answer.

Your first post on this thread mentioned java 1.7 v 1.6, could that be your problem?
I have not had a problem that I recall with different versions of java jdk or jre.

edit:
When you pull the plug to the internet what error comes up in your IDE?
Are you using Eclipse?
When you hook one of the computers you are having problems with to the internet is there still a problem?

I hooked an external hard drive up and checked some old data. I renamed whatever layer used to "Names" and the layerlist .xml has this:

       <Layer className="nlneilson.layers.Names" title="Names" actuate="onRequest"/>

That .xml file was last modified 3/31/2010 and worked OK on Win and Ubuntu probably 9.10

I downloaded the daily 333.651
The worldwind.layers.xml has:

    <Layer className="gov.nasa.worldwind.layers.Earth.NASAWFSPlaceNameLayer"/>

Do you have your app specified that way?

Try one of the examples that has the Names on one or both of the problem computers hooked to the internet and download some of the names tiles.
Then disconnect from the net and see if the tiles downloaded display.

I just tried the Application Template demo from here:

The Place Names layer works with the default java and icedtea in Ubuntu 12.04
