Who’s scared of advanced GeoServer workshops?

Blog ‐ Posted on 15.07.2015 by Andrea Aime

Apparently, the FOSS4G Europe attendees are not scared of advanced GeoServer workshops. Tuesday 15th of July, GeoSolutions gave a workshop called "GeoServer on steroids: getting the best out of GeoServer" at FOSS4G Europe, in Como (Italy). We managed to attract more than 60 attendees, so much that it had to be run by two separate teachers, our tech leads Andrea Aime and Mauro Bartolomeoli, in two different computer labs. In our view, this is a sign of maturity of the FOSS4G conferences, which over the years collected a number of returning attendees, people that went past the basics and crave for some more advanced training....

Developer’s Corner: Customizable arrow in GeoServer

Blog ‐ Posted on 29.06.2015 by simone giannecchini

Dear Reader, Today we want to share a recent development in  GeoServer: an arrow mark whose proportions can be customized to get the type of arrow you're looking for. The general syntax for this arrow mark is the following: <WellKnownName>extshape://arrow?hr=[hrValue]&t=[tValue]&ab=[abValue]</WellKnownName> All parameters are ratios, and they are all optional. By default the arrow is the usual 1 by 1 mark, whose actual size you can control in SLD via the Mark size attribute. In particular, the parameters and their default values are: t: thickness of the arrow base, between 0 and 1, default is 0.2 hr: height over width ratio,...

Developer’s Corner: Releasing Postgis Curves Support in GeoServer

Blog ‐ Posted on 15.06.2015 by simone giannecchini

Dear Reader, in this post we’d like to talk about one of our last improvements to GeoServer, that is, the ability to deal with PostGIS curves with both reading and writing support. Starting from the most interesting bit, the work has been already pushed on GeoServer master (next to be 2.8) which you can download at the links below, either in bin or war format: platform independent binary Ready-made WAR Although for the time being the new functionality it’s only available on the 2.8.x series, and we hope to backport all the changes to the 2.7.x  series later, hence some early...

INSPIRE Support in GeoServer made easy with HALE

Blog ‐ Posted on 26.05.2015 by simone giannecchini

Dear readers, The GeoSolutions team is working to make the job of publishing Inspire compliant data easier, by enabling the usage of a visual schema mappings editor, HALE, to configure the GeoServer app-schema extension. Currently, to publish Inspire compliant data in a specific schema (defined through a set of  xsd files) using GeoServer, the app-schema extension can be used to map a set of existing data sources (for example shapefiles or PostGIS tables in a database) to given xsd schemas. The extension allows to: create Complex Features, required by many Inspire schemas, while common DataStores only enable the use of Simple Features map existing simple...

Developer’s Corner: JAI-Ext, the Open Source replacement for Oracle JAI

Blog ‐ Posted on 13.04.2015 by simone giannecchini

Dear Readers, it is our pleasure to introduce a new project developed at GeoSolutions, JAI-EXT. JAI-EXT is a project based on the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API, which is a Java framework for high performances image processing. The main feature of JAI is the ability to process image using deferred execution and tiling, which provide high performances when elaborating input data. Anyway JAI is no more supported by its original developers and has a very restricting license. Since in many of our project we heavily rely on JAI (one for all, GeoServer), at GeoSolutions we decided to embarque in this effort with the JAI-EXT project to completely replace...
