Guys,
First off, great job on the 1.4.x RC release; it's a big improvement
over 1.3.x
Thanks! We definitely try to get better with each and every release.
Out
of curiosity which improvements do you like?
Basically, that it works a lot better than the 1.3.x version. A number of
really annoying bugs (eg the shapefile big decimal error) were squashed,
and adding some useful new features (eg inclusion of metadata file
location) without blowing up the code (I have a number of files in place
to automate the adding and deleting of layers from within Geoserver from a
CLI, so the
less I have to modify these files for each release, the better).
Cool. Yeah, we're going to try to keep all configuration working for each
release, and will go to 2.0 if we have to break anything. So if on any
release things don't work as you expect, please let us know immediately.
In the future we want to improve the adding and deleting of layers with a
nicer API, so if you have suggestions about how you'd like to use it
that'd be great. Actually I'll try to start a wiki page soon, just so we
can slowly gather requirements for how people would like to interact
programmatically with geoserver.
I was going to mention that the option to return zipped GML isn't
working either, but checked the bugzilla and see that it's on the hit
parade of bugs to be squashed.
Hrm, it should have already been hit:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-692
You're using RC1? What is the problem you have with it? If it's not
working then that bug should be re-opened.
Ok, it looks like i was just confused on the capabilities. I thought
instead of returning a compressed, gzip response (which it now does), it
would actually return some zipped gml (similar to kml). The problem I'm
having with this is that on a shapefile over 2 or 3 megs, anytime you
request gml, or gzipped gml, that response back to the client (esp in
mozilla) will freeze or lock up the browser. Perhaps, if the
aforementioned friendly file naming can be implemented, Geoserver could
return a gml file (instead of the raw GML) back to the user.
Could you file a feature request for this too? I'd probably make it a
different producer option, since I think sometimes people may want it as
it works now. I'll have to think about it.
As for large files returning GML, what I usually do is a wget command line
call if I want the whole file, and if I just want to check out what's
going on I use the maxfeatures param to limit it.
best regards,
Chris
Thanks again guys!
best regards,
Chris
Cheers
