Also note that there has been some work done on informix. This is in a
jira issue, so you'll have to search for it, no one's been motivated to
roll it in. Basically they wrote a Geometry Converter just like the
one in Oracle, but for informix. Abstracted out the oracle stuff to an
interface that both implement. They were only using it for
programming, so didn't go with a full datastore, but basically you
should be able to find the code to get you started. So even if their
claim of ogc compliance is off, then you should still be able to do
their geometries easy.>

Another link for you:
http://geotools.org/SIS+Meta+Infrastructure+current+software Paolo has
done some good security work. I think it may be able to be integrated
into geoserver core, as they kept it modular. But basically people
have started on this, we just need to figure out how to work it in,
make it a bit more official.>

Not really, but in the not-so-long term, geoserver will have a much more
scalable architecture. We're just thinking on the alternatives beside a
pure EJB approach. Personally, I wouldn't like to go EJB 2, but EJB 3.0
looks promising.best regards,
Gabriel.

Yes, we in fact already thought on this :)) And just waiting for
release to try the uDig. And, if I'll be able to understand how to
incorporate all needed functionality into a plugin(s) it is very
possible that uDig will be used in there>> Hm, judging by amount of mail traffic in this list it isn't very

I'm recently becoming a latter, though that is not due to "call of
the heart" But "conventional" docs are not always available
readily. In fact, we are very much handicapped there by the heavy traffic
limitations, so online documentation is almost of no use to me.
Traffic overuse can easily put me (and others too) out of the web for
half a month. I rarely see the same page twice, saving the most
interesting/useful articles to disk. But this approach has some
serious drawbacks: such saved pages tends to "organize" themselves
into a sort of garbage heap, making hard to find needed data later,
and this html almost always requires a special manual processing
(stripping extra code such as menus and navigation bars and javascripts
that try to load external resources like banners, counters, images etc.)
That's definitely not a work I like to do Most disappointing is that
far too many sites (including jira and confluence at codehaus.org) have
very bad habit of not compressing their output. Near-250K "login" page
at jira simply kills me (they _do_ have separate "lightweight" page
consisting only of the login form, but it shows up only if the login
from the main page failed - can't really grok that logic).So I prefer to work with offline docs, as I can go to the university
and download them during lunch time for future use. And the main sources
of information for me are this mailing list and offline GeoServer
documentation archive, which I download from time to time. Of course,
it would be much better to build docs from svn sources, but "document"
ant target never worked for me, always ending with NullPointerException
during execution of "generate-docbook". It might be something with my
xslt processor, I didn't investigated this matter yet.Under this curcumstances the source code proves to be the last and
ultimate resort and if this code is written with proper care and
intended for people to read and not fot machine to execute (as in
GeoServer case) this sometimes becomes the fastest way of obtaining
needed informationBTW, I saw the link you provided severeal times in this list, but for
some reason didn't associated it with a source of useful information
about GeoServer. Thanks for pointing it out, I already bookmarked it
and will look through this site next time I become stuck--
WBR,
Artie--__--__--

Ken,
You should upgrade to Geoserver 1.3.0-RC1; its very significantly better
for WMS. Both the bugs you're reporting were fixed in the 1.3.0
series.dave

thanks a lot for all your support, that's simply great!
Indeed, geoserver works on websphere 5.1 without any problem, I simply =

However I still have a small issue:
when I connect to localhost/geoserver and after login I cannot see any =

WebSphere in french).
[ServletException in:/WEB-INF/pages/actionator.jsp] =

(translation: the attribute .short has no value)
It is the same for all *tor.jsp pages. Exactly the same problem with =
Geoserver1.3RC1 or Geoserver 1.2.
Any ideas on this? I search JIRA but could not find any answer.
I have not installed JAI lib so I understand that WMS cannot generate =
bitmap files but it looks like even in 1.3 (I tried the mapbuilder demo =
in data/mbdemo/) it does not generate a bitmap image, anything I miss =
there? Of course I have the GetCapabilities sending back xml file in =
both WFS and WMS.
Maybe this kind of request should rather go to the user mailing =

the deployment I had this message from WebSphere (although it has =
nothing to do with the above problem), I am not sure what it means so =
