what's the timeline for needing something?
Mostly want to get an milestone out for geoserver users
geotools developers can always use master if they are keen
Who has used the wps client of geotools?
I am trying to do a simple operation (any operation!) to the wps geoserver. But when I try to add a geometry as input parameter, it is empty on the request
The client is producing some request like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Execute service="WPS" version="1.0.0">
<Identifier>identifier</Identifier>
<DataInputs>
<Input>
<Identifier>geom</Identifier>
<Data>
<ComplexData/>
</Data>
</Input>
</DataInputs>
</Execute>
Do any of you have a simple example of how to add a geometry?
I am not sure if I am missing some dependency or using the wrong java type for geometries
My base code is the one of https://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/unsupported/wps.html but using a Geometry instead of double.
A lot of the code to encode a parameter ends up GeoServer and there was not always matching funding to decode the output in geotools.
I got frustrated with OGC funding servers but not client libraries.
I am not sure who was the main author of that code
I am developing a WPS client for Apache Camel and I have some funded time for that. If fixing/extending the WPS client of geotools is part of that job, it is part of that job. But if I spend most of that time trying to get through the code to understand it, I won't get far. That's why it would be great if someone walk me through the code and explain how it works a bit.
but right now there is a duplication between geoesrver PPIO classes and their poor unmaintained cousins in the geotools wps-client module.
The same classes in geotools wps-client did not get reused or invested in.
so geoserver WPS is capable of far far more then geotools wps-client
well @Delawen would like it to work, and the wps-client is unmaintained, so she has a problem :)
I just recommend getting into the design by seeing what geoserver does
It may be faster to use geoserver PPIO as a starting point and write a GPL client
(or ask PSC permission to reclience to LGPL if you wanted to start a geotools community module)
Here is the doc reference: https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/programming-guide/wps-services/index.html
@aaime we should make a public geotools gitter rather than adopt OSGeo/Sprint
@Delawen can we take this conversaton to email please?
(I am on different time zone and traveling, weird for sync conversations)
please vote on the doodle poll for 2020 sprint dates
