Developers Corner: Improving GeoServer WMS Cascading Support

Hi all,The ability to server WMS layers from a remote WMS server through a Geoserver installation (a.k.a. Cascading WMS) has been one of the latest improvements in Geoserver world in last couple of months. You can read about it more in one of our previous blog, where the basics have been explained already.GeoSolutions team has since been improving the existing state and introduced some new features. A few patches have been created to fix some important issues: Enabling cascading layer to be included in layer groups (GEOS-4273)Make GetFeatureInfo requests work again on cascading servers (GEOS-4301)Make GetFeatureInfo requests work on older...

Developers Corner: have your SLD transform raster data into vectors on the fly

Hi all,in this post we'd like to share our most recent endeavor in dynamic data rendering within the GeoServer and GeoTools open source projects.The problemSuppose you have a set of scientific raster data sets, maybe they represent some sort of concentration, elevation, or maybe they represent wind, currents, or some other vector phenomena via two bands (one for magnitude, one for direction).Now, you have lots of them and people want to display them in various ways. Raster with color scales are nice, but often you need to render them in other ways, such as contour lines, polygons catching all the...

Developers Corner: Improving GeoTools/GeoServer raster reprojection performance

Ciao a tutti,we hope everybody had nice seasonal holidays and is back fresh and ready to move on with another year of activity.In this blog we'd like to present some of the work we have been doing in recent time to improve GeoTools and GeoServer raster reprojection abilities. Raster reprojection is a quite heavy process in which every single pixel of the original image has to be mapped into a new position in the target raster. Here is a visual representation of a small set of pixels, before and after the reprojection (in this case, from WGS84 to polar stereographic):...
