Hi all,
I'm using geoserver in a project with mapbuilder. I'm not a hard
user of both but I'm getting great results with little effort. Does
anybodyhas got quick advice on resources avaiable on the shortest path
finder djikstra algo and geoserver?
I've seen that geoserver implements common spatial functions and
I'm asking for djikstra "function".
Thanks in advance.
Alberto.

For the sake of completeness, I'll cite the geotools graph module too,
which allows for computations of the shortest path, among others.
The drawback is that you'll have to code quite a bit of java stuff
to use it (it's a library, not a ready to use method call) and Geoserver
is still not ready for computation oriented tasks (WPS, Web Processing
Service) thought we'll eventually get there too.
All in all, if you're using Postgis, the road suggested by Thomas seems
easier to follow, you just need to add some small server side
bits to trigger the computation (I don't know, your little java web
app, or even a PHP script).
Cheers
