[Geoserver-users] Best GeoServer Features

Andrea and myself have a talk lined up for FOSS4G … covering the “best” features of GeoServer in a “feature frenzy” 30 second sound bite format. This is to counteract our “State of GeoServer” talks - where we only get a look at what is new.

To help please answer the following questions:

  1. What makes GeoServer great for you?
  2. What feature do you always enable?
  3. Is there an extension which totally made a project possible for your or a customer?
  4. What surprised you when you first installed GeoServer?
  5. What community module do you wish was part of GeoServer 2.6?

Jody Garnett

1. Reliability and that it is largely data format agnostic

2. OGR2OGR

3. Inspire, helps to get around our problem with non-ISO-conforming metadata

4. How do I get the data directory out of the 'Program Files' directory.
That was version 1.7.4 with Jetty installer.

5. NetCDF

Its open and active community.

2. What feature do you always enable?

WFS featureMember, canonical schema location, and OGC HTTP URI format for srsName.

3. Is there an extension which totally made a project possible for your
or a customer?

app-schema, of course. :slight_smile:

4. What surprised you when you first installed GeoServer?

How easy it was to connect to PostGIS. Just a few clicks and I could see a map and simple feature WFS. Everything just worked.

Kind regards,

Hi all

I was tasked with setting up geonode, with no prior GIS experience.
I was very impressed by how geoserver Just Works as part of the geonode stack.

To help please answer the following questions:

1. What makes GeoServer great for you?

- Easy to deploy
- Excellent documentation
- The web UI makes it perfect to teach webmapping and OGC standards to
non very tech people.

2. What feature do you always enable?

WPS

3. Is there an extension which totally made a project possible for your or a
customer?

WPS with SLD rendering transformations (and chained with SQL views,
incredibly flexible combination)

4. What surprised you when you first installed GeoServer?

Web UI and WFS working without any special config.

5. What community module do you wish was part of GeoServer 2.6?

Geopackage module, and waiting for the GeoGig stack :slight_smile:

1/

Friendly, helpful and very active community

Great release management process

Very simple/easy to setup

Highly configurable using a web interface

2/ WFS, WMS, SqlServer database connection

3/ SqlServer database connection

4/

How easy it was to setup a geoserver and display your data, even without any gis-specific knowledge.

No need to dive into some obscure configuration files to change some configuration or add a new datastore, layer,… but (almost) everything configurable through a user-friendly web interface

5/ Some SLD editor to make maintenance less cumbersome

Kind regards,

Roel

Jody,

The best GIS server out there, no contest!

My favorite story is publishing 2’ contours from our LiDAR DEMS with just a WPS based SLD. Fantastic.
