Hi Ben,
Do you think my pull request will be on the table? If so, I should
probably join the meeting.
It will be, but there is a significant wrench on the plan... the new wfs
store is not a replacement
for the old one, does not have the same functionality yet (cannot handle a
number of non fully
compliant servers that are unfortunately popular in europe, as a number of
old versions
of mapserver, tinywos), so just swapping it will cause regressions for all
that are
using the parameters controlling the axis orders to perform cascading.
Given that we had specific funding targeted at making the cascading
possible less than
a year ago, we cannot retract that support lightly, as it makes for a very
bad precedent,
point in case, would you like it if we dropped stored queries next year
because we feel it's not an important
use case?
So the current agreement would be that wfs-ng will be a separate extension,
that can be
added into GeoServer side by side the old one, but the old one will stay in
core, whilst wfs-ng
will be a separate module.
The way I understand your work, it needs wfs-ng in core instead.
So... do you have resources to either make your work pluggable and go along
a wfs-ng extension,
or to push the wfs-ng to a point where it becomes a seamless replacement
for the old store,
that is, providing the same functionality, and able to work off the same
datastore.xml
as the old store?
Cheers
Andrea
