[Geoserver-users] connecting geoserver to flex

GeoServer GeoServer User
1

hi guys,

i wish to connect some shapefiles i have stored on geoserver in a datastore
to a flex builder application.

i cant seem to find a service URI that works. i think it should be something
along the lines of http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms/service but this
brings up an xml(?) file application/vnd.ogc.se_xml

is this the right thing? should i perhaps be using wfs?

i just want to use the flex <esri:Map> function to interact with the
shapefiles.

any pointers?

cheers

Have a look at http://openscales.org/ which is a Flex implementation
of some OpenLayers functionality.

The URL to request depends on what you want to do - you might want to
do a getCapabilities request to find layers or a getmap (WMS) request
to get the map or may be a getFeatures (WFS) to get the data.

i just want to use the flex <esri:Map> function to interact with the
shapefiles.

May be an esri list may be more help to you with this? Ask them how to
import OGC standard data services to their flex client.

Hi Ian,

A few years back i worked on a dutch opensource project called flamingo
(www.flamingo-mc.org) this was build in Flash (with actionscript 2.0).
Might be worth a look to see how it developed the last months, maybe a
good starting point to do some flex integration

Cheers Kris
