[Geoserver-devel] Re: Geoserver-devel digest, Vol 1 #424 - 1 msg

Hi,

My name is Ednardo Ferreira. I'm from Brazil and I
work with free GIS. I'm using Deegree for WMS and WFS
services but I'd like to know where could I get more
resources to learn about Geoserver.

I'm working with thematics maps. I'd like to generate
thematics maps from deegree/postgis. I'd like, for
example, to select two points on deegree and display
the best way. I'd like to generate maps where the
entities were painted by its population...

Then, how could manipulate what I would display at
maps? I've got to manipulate the original source code?
if yes, how could I do it and contribute to geoserver
project?

Thanks!

The best way right now is to ask the list. I was meaning to completely
redo the docs for 1.2.0, but got held up, but it is on my list to do
next. So ask away, and I can turn the answers to your questions into
documentation for others.

Not sure I quite understand, could you give some more detail? More
complete use cases?

Most likely your changes would go into geotools - geoserver is very
closely linked with geotools, and most of the code goes on there, and
then geoserver is just the way to access it over the web, through wms
or wfs. If you give me more description of what you want to do I can
point you in the right directions in the code.

There are two approaches to thematic styling that generally fit in with the open source supported standards world:

1: use OpenGIS "Styled Layer Descriptor" capabilities in the WMS - both deegree and Geoserver support this I understand (but I havent played with them recently)
2: post-process into SVG using a XSL stylesheet.

I'm involved in a project looking at the issues relating to standardising Feature Types - one outcome would be that such styling rules become re-usable resources. This is however a highly complex issue to work out how to break up complex information models across namespaces and modularise such resources. We will post notice of the results to geoserver-devel when we publish them.

The other thing to think about is the work being contemplated in Geotools to join geometry with attributes from different data stores. My advice for now is to preprocess the data into a single table, shapefile etc with the thematic data and think how you are going to present it. I'm sure the Geotools people will be looking for testers and contributors when they attack the datastore-join problem.
