Hello everyone!

I try to install the mid/mif pluggin or the excel pluggin but it’s doesn’t work.
I put jar’s pluggin in /webapps/geoserverWEB-INF/lib and restart geoserver but I don’t see the pluggin in new datastore.

Could you help me, please.

I use geoserver 1.7.3 on window vista.

Thanks.

Well, the plugin is for generating Excel out of WFS requests, not
for reading Excel sheets as data sources. The latter could
be developed, but it's going to be quite some work.
What is your specific use case?

Thanks Andrea for this news.
I try to know what’s it’s possible to import in geoserver, I know for shapefile and postgis table but I don’t know for ECW, MIF… I find a plugin to import MIF file but it doesn’t work :frowning:
I follow this tutorial :http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/MapInfo+DataStore maybe it’s my version of geoserver(1.7.3) it’s not compatible? I download the plugin here: http://docs.codehaus.org/download/attachments/27048/mif-2.2.x.jar?version=2

Cheers

Yeah, there is a reason it's not included among the official extensions :slight_smile:

I follow this tutorial :http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/MapInfo+DataStore

Yeah, that page was last updated 2 years ago, and the store have not
seen active development since 4 years. It may still work, I simply
don't know.

Definitely too old GeoServer needs plugins from GoeTools 2.5.x, in
particular, from a 2.5.4 build. I don't know if it works or not, but
the proper jar would be:
http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/org/geotools/gt-mif/2.5.4/gt-mif-2.5.4.jar

If it does not work you still have the option of using ogr2ogr to convert the MIF into a shapefile or import it into PostGIS.

Thanks!! The jar work I have MIFDatastore in the menu but when I put my .mif file on “path” I have an error : geometryFactory doit être un (ou une) class com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.GeometryFactory valide : java.io.IOException: Could not create com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.GeometryFactory from text

Thanks for your help!
