[Geoserver-users] Question about using WMS to expose a image data store

I am new to GeoServer and somewhat familiar with the OGC specs. I have a
some images (jpegs) that are 2x2 degree tiles. What I would like to do is
get one layer of these images mapped in through GeoServer as a WMS layer.
The question is how does one go about this? I don't see any datastores
jumping out at me. Is there a pattern/standard to mapping image data in to
GeoServer? My next step would to temporal mapping the data source but I
would like to get the basics working first.

Thanks
Chris

Image mosaic plugin perhaps ?

That would be one way. This will work for a simple prototype but I don't
think it will help me long term since I have lots of layers that all have a
time range to them. I have one hour time slices for each raster layer. My
end goal would to allow for queries the layer by time. I will continue to
look through the mailing list and tutorials.

Thanks!

I'm sorry we don't have time support in our WMS implementation, so you would end up searching in vain.

The layers with different times can be accomplished using clever layer
naming. After doing some processing on the getCapabilities, one should be
able to get the proper layers per time using JSP/Javascript.

Are all of your jpegs geographically enabled?

Yes. I have 1 degree by 1 degree tiles for about a 10x10 area. I am
producing a new layer each hour. I need to review the WMS spec again but
does it support asking for a time slice for one layer? I have about 3 years
of data so the getCapabililties could get quite large. I might need to have
multiple sources maybe for each week or month. Again, this is just me
thinking out loud since I still have a lot to learn here.

I need to look at some of the WMS clients since I don't know how robust time
support is.

Thanks!
Chris

Yes, time support is one of the features that servers implementing WMS
may support: it's optional. Unfortunately we do not support it.
