Hello all,
I am running GeoServer 2.4.3 on Centos 6 using Tomcat6.
Java version 1.7.0_51 OpenJDK
I am trying to install and use the DynamicColorMap community extension. I
extracted the jar in to WEB-INF/lib and restarted the server as usual. On
the restart I am receiving this error:
2014-04-10 21:14:42,655 INFO [geoserver.wps] - Blacklisting process
ras:DynamicColorMap as the input colorRamp of type interface
org.geotools.styling.ColorMap cannot be handled
The process is meant to be used as a rendering transformation in SLD, it
was not developed to be used as a stand alone process,
as such, it misses the PPIO class that can parse/encode the input color
ramp.
The good news is, it should not be that hard to develop one
About not using it in production, quality varies a lot among community
modules, they indeed range from non working experiments
to modules that are being used in anger, but do not yet satisfy all the
requirements for graduating to official extension (e.g.
see this proposal for a list of requirements that need to be satisified to
graduate a module:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+105+-+Promote+importer+module+to+extension+status
)
This one has been in production in a scientific app for a few months now,
but it does not qualify yet for extension, one of the
requirements is that it needs 3 known users, so far it has one.
It is indeed true, though, that a module staying for a long time in
community land tends to rot over time, as it's not normally
even built (as such, it can stop compiling or passing tests without any
warning).
Cheers
Andrea
