Thanks for that suggestion, Marcos. Both Quantum GIS and Gaia work when I use
version 1.1.1 instead of 1.3.0!--no more blank images and the default color
palettes work splendidly (data values are apparently scaled to 0-255 by
default). So it seems there are possible problems with the current TDS
implementation of WMS 1.3.0...
Anybody know how to tell TDS to use WMS 1.1.1 as the default version for the
meantime? There is mention in the TDS documentation of an OGCMeta.xml file but
no documentation on what this can contain. The default OGCMeta.xml in WEB-INF
doesn't have any settings for WMS version, so maybe this is not possible.
Aloha,
John Maurer
