Getting curvey with Oracle Spatial and GeoServer
Dear readers, in this blog post we are going to introduce you to the new GeoServer curved geometry support that has been developed here at GeoSolutions. To date GeoServer was limited to handle geometries made of straight segments, but in the last years a number of spatial databases added support for geometries containing arcs of circles as well. GML also recognized the need for this kind of geometries, and has been supporting them (along with other curved geometry types) since GML 3.0. In GeoServer 2.6 (to be released September 2014) we have implemented support for geometries made of circular arcs, in particular: CircularString and CircularRing,...
