[Geoserver-devel] Compiling REST example from source.

Hi all,

I am trying to build GeoServer and the REST plugin from the trunk so that I can run the implementing a RESTful service example. I was having problems initially trying to get GeoServer to compile to a WAR file but I found indirectly that if I call:

mvn clean install -P web2
mvn assembly:attached

I then get a zip file that contains a WAR file. If I just call mvn clean install -P release like in the documenation then my WAR zip file only contains the license text files. I don’t know if this is a bug or if I am just doing something wrong since I am not able to even build 1.7.5.

If I just copy and paste along with the directions at http://docs.geoserver.org/1.7.x/developer/programming-guide/rest-services/implementing.html, updating the versions to 2.0-SNAPSHOT, after installing GeoServer, I get an error that says “Failed to resolve artifact. Missing org.geoserver:rest:jar:2.0-SNAPSHOT”

I have also tried compiling GeoServer with “mvn clean install -P web2,rest,geosearch,wps” and that didn’t work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Yeah, the documentation is written for 1.7.x. On trunk we have a new web module which is still not a core module (soon to be), so you need to enable it explicitly with a profile.

Yeah, until a few hours ago the rest module was not available on trunk. I just forward ported it, so if you do an svn update, you will see it.

I have also tried compiling GeoServer with "mvn clean install -P web2,rest,geosearch,wps" and that didn't work either.

Hopefully an svn update will fix the problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Justin that fixed part of my problem. The other part seems to be a problem with Netbeans and the POM. It “works” in eclipse. Once I get it all figured out I will write up how I got it all to work so that hopefully it can help others.
