[Geoserver-devel] about GEOS:3824: Improve the GDAL-ImageIO-Ext section User Documentation

Hi list, some weeks ago I have added a patch to GeoServer’s JIRA in order to improve GDAL related documentation.
The past week I have posted a new one also adding the tips to run GeoServer as a windows service.
Since it is a trivial add to the doc and no-one worked on it yet, can I assign it to myself and commit?
If someone can give me a +1 I will go on.

Best Regards,
Daniele

I haven't had much of any time to go over doc patches, so I apologize. I am curious about your tips to run GeoServer as a Windows Service...is there something that the installer doesn't do that it should?

Thanks,

No problem on this.

As users noticed with some emails in the past, the standard installation of GeoServer as a Windows Service doesn’t allow to see the GDAL native libs (when available) and then there is no GDAL formats support. After investigation, I have found a solution for this (See 1) and I have added it to the geoserver’s doc. Honestly, I don’t know how the installer works with extensions and optional elements. A look on the solution can give you better details on what I have found and what the installer could perhaps do.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional info.

Thanks for finding a workaround. Is there a standard, optimal, default place where the instructions say to put the nativelibs? I could incorporate a path check into the installer. Please open a JIRA and assign it to me.

Hi Mike,
sorry for the late reply.
I usually put the native libs on windows under jdk/bin folder.
However, in a previous email on that topic, Aime suggested he always put the native libs on <current_jdk>/jre/lib/i386/ or <current_jdk>/jre/lib/amd64/ regardless of the OS (Linux/windows). Therefore we can follow that tip. Feedbacks?
In the meantime, I have opened a JIRA:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3909

Regards,
Daniele
