[Geoserver-users] GeoServer 1.3.4 release

Hello community,
GeoServer 1.3.4 has been released. You can grab it here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/GeoServer+1.3.4

It is a small upgrade from 1.3.3 with a new version of the integrated MapBuilder client and more robust SLD support for KML.

Hi

I have written a EJB3 annotations tutorial here which I have already posted to the PostGIS group, I thought might be interesting to the GeoServer group since transactions are useful for WFS-T, WPS (Web Processing Service) and EJB3 makes this easy.

http://postgis.refractions.net/support/wiki/index.php?SpatialEJB3

The tutorial is in �draft�, it covers using Java 5 annotations to persist spatial objects to

PostGIS, exposing Java 5 pojos as a web service, and finally using Python as a client to

JBoss web services to update PostGIS.

Apologies for its draft nature, hopefully it is of use to somewhere.

This work is a contribution to in the current investigation by the OSGEO GeoData group led by Jo Walsh in creating simple RESTful

Catalog interfaces - http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Simple_Catalog_Interface

My aim is to transfer the ingest mechanism so that a web Crawler can update PostGIS; the scalability of the queue, and the fact I can seamlessly cluster JBoss make this useful.

Possible extension ideas are;

Spatial EJB-QL makes it useful for a catalog.

Having discussed this with Markus, the code is available under the LGPL since it is a work that builds off the PostGIS JDBC driver.

Apologies if you have already received this off the postgis list.

thanks,

Norman
