Spring 7 updates
Update from GS3 activity “milestone 2 extended dance remix addition”
- Andrea is starting this activity. Do we need a proposal…
- Perhaps update the existing GS3 proposal to say “Spring 7”?
- action: Andrea small spring7 proposal for the record, ..
- Status / any questions / suggestions?
- geotools is building (jackson 3 update)
- geowebcache is compiling but not building (Gabriel might be interested in having a look)
- geoserver is not building either, deeper Spring dispatcher issues
Mapfish print v2 dependencies cleanup/updates
- Been hit by two sets of issues
- Use of Xerces, explicit use of Xerces, use XML form the JDK
- import org.apache.xerces.util.DOMUtil
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;
- import org.apache.xerces.util.DOMUtil
- Xerces becomes the default XML handler, and then does recognize some of configuration properties for JAXP
- commons-http-client3 → commons-http-client5 or commons-http-client4
- main: 2.5-SNAPSHOT using spring 6
- 2.4.x uses spring 5 and ImageN for GS 2.28.x
- 2.3.x uses spring 5 and JAI for GS 2.27.x
- Use of Xerces, explicit use of Xerces, use XML form the JDK
Chit-chat
updates:
- Jody: developer update blog post?
- Would like to do one covering GS3 milestone 2 and the recent change to spring7 target.
- WFS split update PR is passing tests - nice!
- OAuth2 PRs to be expected soon!
- Ideally this can be backported for 2.28.x enjoyment and side by side comparison
- AfriGIS QA feedback: https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-11994
- Looking ahead to GS3 Milestone 3
- Expect some UI proposals for everyone to enjoy
- it is also a good time to change to mkdocs, since we will need to update screen snaps so all the pages will be reviewed
- Sonarcube experiments ongoing shared with geoserver-security
