Re: GetSpeciesDensityData vertex problem

Below is the code i am using in a request via 'SoapUI', i am getting the error:

<faultstring>The specified polygon could not be assigned a to either the BNG or ING as it is not native to either</faultstring>

Each vertex is WGS84/EPSG_4326 and is defined in the code as explained in the documentation, the error message seems to imply that the documentation is wrong and the query must use BNG/ING vertex?

Am i doing something else wrong in my query or mis-understanding the documentation and will i need to convert these before plugging them in?

Re: GetSpeciesDensityData vertex problem

Hello

Just tried myself using SoapUI and I also get the same error message using EPSG_4326 but it seems to be working using EPSG_27700 spatial reference system. It looks like the web service is not handling EPSG_4326 as it should according to the documentation. I shall flag this up with the NBN Gateway developers to see if they can look into it

Best wishes

Graham

Re: GetSpeciesDensityData vertex problem

Hi,

you've got your lat and long the wrong way round, x=long, y=lat.  It is a mistake I've made before, but it makes sense - lat is how far north it is, so it is the y axis.

All the best, Jon

This query works (registrationkey will need adding):

Re: GetSpeciesDensityData vertex problem

Cheers for looking at it Graham, i am now converting it to bng anyways.

and thanks Jon! I figured it'd be something basic, i really am a novice novice!
