persistence-geo

This component saves map configuration (at this time only layers) in a database and implements a Parser to generate OpenLayers layers to be load in a OpenLayers map or another OpenLayers extension as GeoExt or GXP

Tested on / Dependencies

• Jetty plugin
• Tomcat 6, 7 (with openjdk 6)
• PostgreSQL (9.1)

Test it

Steps to use this library

Database init

You need to create a database and a schema on PostgreSQL. You can see create.sql

You still need to edit local.properties to your database configuration.

Then you need to launch database initializer with persistence-geo-core:

~persistence-geo/persistence-geo-core$ mvn clean test -Pfirst -DfilterToApply=local

Running and testing

You can test it with jetty, but it's recommended to launch it on tomcat

~persistence-geo$ mvn clean install -Plocal

Run on jetty

Run jetty in persistence-geo-rest directory:

~persistence-geo/persistence-geo-rest$ mvn clean jetty:run -Plocal

Run on tomcat

Only copy war on webapps directory:

~persistence-geo/persistence-geo-rest$ sudo cp target/persistence-geo-rest.war /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/

Testing

Now you can see a demo with GXP mapbox on http://localhost:8080/persistence-geo-rest/

Limitations

This software is an alpha snapshot:

• Only loads WMS layers
• Integration with layer tree not implemented yet

Next steps

We're working in the next features:

• Load WFS, KML, GML layers.
• Save and rescue map configuration by admin.
• Save and load layers by group.
• Save and load folders.
