[Geoserver-devel] New Community Plugin: Features Autopopulate

Dear devs,
presenting here a new community plugin. PR available here:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/7474

The Features Autopopulate plug-in listens to transactions (so far only issued by WFS), and autopopulates the feature type attributes according to the values retrieved from the properties file.

The plugin uses a custom TransactionCallback that alters the insert/update WFS-T operations, forcing in specific values into them, based on configuration files.

To support configuration for multiple layers, the easiest thing is to place a configuration, file in the directories of the layers themselves, pretty much like the featureinfo templates.

A “transactionCustomizer.properties” file that contains a set of names and CQL expressions
e.g.:

UTENTE=env('GSUSER') # this will be replaced with the current user see @EnviromentInjectionCallback
AGGIORNAMENTO=now() # this will be replaced with the current date

To keep things simple, the expressions will just use environment variables, but not see the other values provided in the update/insert, and will not be differentiated by insert/update cases

+1 on the community module, it is an interesting addition. Kind of like a minimal ELT stage.
