I have leveraged the geoprocessing framework for ArcGIS Server which calls various tools in the ArcGIS Toolbox. Pretty easy to have a client application send a request to ArcGIS Server and then get a response and use that to display to a map.
Use case I currently have is to find slope of a polyline based on some elevation model and then insert points along the line at a spacing distance specific to a slope via a web map.
I looked at the Scripting Extension for Geoserver v2.3x. I looked at WPS which I guess is most mature with a Java library?
Please give me an insight as to my options to do this in a web map as well as what is the likely future of this type of development in the Geoserver ecosystem.
Thanks.

Hi Justin,
It does sound like you want WPS stuff. There’s the GeoServer WPS extension for that http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/wps/index.html?highlight=extension - I’ve not used it myself, but it looked fairly simple from the examples I’ve seen.
Also free & open-source, there’s also: http://zoo-project.org/ - http://pywps.wald.intevation.org/ - and a QGIS WPS plugin too.
Regards,
Jonathan
