How to configure SRTM elevations in WorldWind WMS

In this thread I will try to explain how to serve SRTM elevations using NASA WorldWind WMS. 

! Important note !
Current WW WMS implementation does not use pyramid of tiles (however work is in progress), we use SRTM source tiles to fulfill requests.

NASA WorldWind WMS is able to serve both imagery and elevations from one instance of the WMS. Supported elevations are: SRTM30 (30arc-sec, ~900meters), and SRTM3 (3arc-sec, ~90m), USGS NED (~30meters) and DTED (see this thread http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/sh...ad.php?t=21408 for DTED)

It is possible to configure each elevation layer individually, however I would recommend to create a wrapper elevation layer which will select a correct elevation layer and if a chosen layer (for example SRTM3 or NED) has voids, will fill voids with data from lower resolution layer (like SRTM30).

This is the example of WEB-INF/config.xml that defines a "merged" elevation layer "EarthElevation" (gov.nasa.worldwind.servers.wms.generato rs.CompoundElevationsGenerator)
and SRTM30, SRTM3, and NED layers. If you do not a

Where to get SRTM30?
http://worldwind28.arc.nasa.gov/public/WorldWindWMS/ (You will need to download one .7z file OR all four split 7z.00* archives, merge and extract; Windows version of 7z will do it, non windows users of 7z, use "cat" for merging) 

Where to get SRTM3?
There are many versions of SRTM3.
I got them from here ftp://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/SRTM_v41/SRTM_Data_GeoTIFF/ (可用，亲测)
(there where some tiles broken but owners claim they have fixed them already).
