[Geoserver-devel] MSSQL Spatial data source

GeoServer GeoServer Developer
1

I’ve created an SQLServer Spatial data source for the codeplex mssqlspatial extensions.

I created this by modifying the DB2 version.

I have updated the unit tests as well as the code and it seems to work fine.

Could somebody tell me what the procedure is to donate this ?

Sure :stuck_out_tongue:

Attending an IRC meeting and grabbing and agenda item would be the best way to meet everyone. Please read developers guide (note well the part about being a module maintainer); we are trying out a new procedure for "unsupported" modules as well.

Basically we cannot accept code into the core library without a person to maintain it; depending on the level of support you can offer your work would either be part of the library proper; or be available as an example to start people out with.

Cheers,
Jody

First of all, thank you for you contribution :slight_smile:

As for sharing the code, you should address the geotools project, since it's there that datastores are kept. I guess you've developed it
against the db2 code found in geotools 2.2.1 or something similar.

Now, usually a developer steps in and provides a module and also
becomes its mantainer. Being a mantainer means fixing bugs that
users do find, and making the module elvolve along with geotools.

It also means porting the module to the current geotools trunk,
which has a different API for feature management.
So, all in all, it's quite a bit of work and requires commitment.

If you're not wishing to bear that work, I guess we'll have
to find a way to put your code somewhere waiting for someone
interested to pick it and mantaining it, but we shall accept
it in any case.

Let me know what you intend to do.
Cheers
Andrea

PS: btw, another user was interested in a spatial datastore for
mssql datastore on the users mailing list, thought I don't
know if he's using the MsSqlSpatial extension or not...
