[Geoserver-devel] WMS and Restles service

Hello, I am new developing in Geoserver 2.3.1 and I am writing an extension to adapt an WMS request into a non-standard WMS writen in C++, which provides an image according to their specific parameters. Searching the Geoserver documentation, I found restles services which are used to configure instances through simple HTTP calls. I was wondering if Geoserver use a Restlet service under a WMS request in order to develop a restlet service to invoke the non-standard WMS, and return the image created as response. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,

Eduardo

Hi,

There are a few ways you could handle this. You could write a special wms
service that delegates to the external wms. Since it is an ogc service it
probably makes sense to use the existing ogc service architecture, and
mirror what the current wms service does. Some docs here:

http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/programming-guide/ows-services/index.html

You could even override the default geoserver wms service and provide your
own. Look at the WebMapService interface as a place to start.

Hope that helps.
