[Geoserver-devel] java, gml, geoserver

dear readers,

in your collective experience, what is an efficient way of dealing with gml request/response parsing in java? i've been experimenting with creating URLconnections to geoserver, then using JDOM for parsing the results. it seems a bit clumsy. is there a standard way of interacting with geoserver from within a java application?

thanks,
aaron

Funny you should ask - we asked the same question 6 months ago.

David Zwiers has just (as of last friday) finished a donation of WFS Client code to geotools. (Look in module/main for org.geotools.xml for the framework, and in plugin/wfs for the framework wrapped up in a geotools DataStore.) Please give it a go, let us know what you think etc.

Glados has recently released a GML3 schema parser, and degree appears to have some client code as well.

Hi Aaron

It's up and running as a read-only dataStore. Currently communicates
with 6 different vendors (including geoserver), but is a little slow on
some operations (get bounds ...) and does not offload the filter work to
the server where applicable. These optimizations should arrive shortly.
You can get the code from the geotools repository, or download a binary
after our next release (should be within a day or two).

If you have any question, feel free to drop me a line.
