Hi Jim,
that is great news, thanks for the continued effort.
redirecting to geowebcache-devel mailing list.
I do have time to review this week, and am about to pull locally now
and do that.
As we don't have a concept of community modules or extensions so far
in gwc, in order to merge into master asap I would ask that this
functionality (the job manager) is not enabled by default, but needs
to be enabled through an env variable (like we do to disable the
metastore, etc) for some time until we feel it's strong enough as to
be on by default.
Rationale is that both stable and trunk versions of geoserver depend
on the same gwc version and we'll need to release soon in order for
the stable geoserver version to be released against a gwc release, and
this is a very extensive change. I hope I'll be able of commenting
better once I do the code review, but essentially I'm ok with merging
if we can make the use of the database for the job managed an opt in
option for the time being. Also because at some point we may need to
catch up and see how all this fits on the longer term plans for gwc
wrt scalability and clustering and probably we'll need to port the
database code to another type of storage and make sure it works
properly on a cluster environment.
Best regards,
Gabriel

Hello Gabriel, lists
The pull request for the job management features for GeoWebCache at
https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/pull/62 is now good to go.
I’ve generated a JIRA in GeoServer
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4882 with diff files attached. These
add the gwc-client jar as a dependency and update GWC.java and some of the
spring config for GeoWebCache so that the job management system works in
GeoServer as well as GeoWebCache.
This contribution has been mainly going on in the GeoWebCache project. If
you are interested in the functionality have a look at
https://github.com/lisasoft/geowebcache/wiki/Job-Manager-for-GeoWebCache -
included are improvements to the restful interface and a rich web client for
managing seeding tasks as jobs that can be scheduled etc.
I’ve done a bunch of testing on this and am keen to get this contributed.
I’m hoping there is more time to improve on this work and getting it onto
trunk is going to really help me get that time.
Any comments / feedback please send it my way – I’m keen to hear it.
Thanks for all your help Gabriel.
Jim Groffen.
