Hi,
I've just added a couple of new template tutorials:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/GetFeatureInfo+templates
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Freemarker+templates
Anyone willing to have a look and comment?
In not particularly satisfied by the data model we are providing
for feature, maybe we should refer the feture type model from
it instead of just the name?
Cheers
Andrea

Not quite sure what you mean.

Now feature.typeName is just a string. What about exposing the type
as an attribute, and then use feature.type.name instead?

I see... yeah I could go for that... I would assume that we would also provide attribute type access via feature.type. The only downside I see to this is that the user has two ways to get to an attribute type:
1. feature.attributes
2. feature.type.attributes
Could possibly be confusing.

Yes, haven't you seen this wiki page?

Yeah, I know, the downside of providing information in just one place
would be that you have to find ways to access the attributes map in
feature with another value got from the data model, that is, something like:
${feature.type.attributes[${attribute.name}].type}
thought I have really no idea of what's the actual freemarker syntax
to do that.
Having those duplicated makes it easier for the user.

It seems that the Freemarker templates provide a staightforward way of
customizing the GeoServer output. In addition to the templates listed in
the tutorial, it seems that many other useful templates that could be
developed that would likely have very similar implementations to the
templates that have already been implemented.
For example, following the KML template tutorial, the description.ftl
template allows you to set the description element of the placemark.
description.ftl
''This is ${STATE_NAME.value} state which has a population of
${PERSONS.value}."
yields KML like...
<Placemark>
<description>This is Michigan state which has a population of
9,295,297.</description>
...
</Placemark>
It seems that a similar pattern could be used to add temporal information to
a KML placemark
for example (KML timestamp information):
kml_timestamp.ftl
"${ADMIS_DATE.value}"
could add a timestamp element to the KML...
<Placemark>
...
<TimeStamp><when>2001-04-17</when></TimeStamp>
...
</Placemark>
another example (KML timespan information)...
kml_timespan.ftl
"<begin>${ADMIS_DATE.value}</begin><end>${FUTURE_DATE.value}</end>"
could add a timestamp element to the KML...
<Placemark>
...
<TimeSpan><begin>2001-04-17</begin><end>2050-01-12</end></TimeSpan>
...
</Placemark>
Granted, I'm not a java developer and I have no idea what coding needs to go
on behind the scenes, but the templates seem to follow a very similar to
what has already been implemented...

Tyler

Hi Tyler,
Thats an interesting idea... i like the idea of using a template to achieve this... i wonder if this could somehow apply to georss as well... as both kml and georss use the same templates.
What do others think?

I like this a _lot_ actually. I know you mentioned in before Tyler, but my brain went in to over complex mode and I didn't see that you could just add another template to the mix. It's a nice way to solve pretty low hanging fruit that's a nice win and shouldn't be too tough to implement.

This also might be a relatively easy way of doing extrudes as well. We'd have to set a few other params to get the extrudes to work, but we could set them if an extrude template is there.
Extrudes and Time are the two big features that I want next, and was assuming that we'd need some serious time to put in to each. But it sounds like we may be able to squeeze them in without a ton of work if we go this route... Though I do slightly fear the number of templates getting out of control.
