Developer’s Corner: First Official Release of GeoNetwork-Manager library

Blog ‐ Posted on 31.01.2012 by simone giannecchini

During our work we support many clients with their GeoNetwork  installations, as a consequence we have found ourselves many times in the position to perform massive operations on metadata, e.g. when ingesting data in real-time via GeoBatch or when importing existing metadata in batch. In the past we have noticed that we were de-facto reusing and growing a small but useful codebase of common methods to interact with GeoNetwork therefore we decided to share them with the world (yeah, we are a bit ambitious :) ) and therefore we created the geonetwork-manager project for this purpose.geonetwork-manager  is a Java library for interacting with...

Developer’s Corner: Introducing Database Level Security in GeoServer

Blog ‐ Posted on 30.01.2012 by simone giannecchini

During our work we support manu GeoServer Enterprise installations which pull data from a spatial database of some sort, normally via a connection pool, a tool that keeps database connections around so that we don't have to open and close them at every request (something that could be very expensive).The pool accesses the database via a shared user, that all GeoServer requests end up using. Some requests only require data reading (WMS GetMap), others modify data (WFS Transaction), some even create new tables (RESTConfig data uploading for example). The pool user must be able to perform all and any of...

Improving GeoServer SQL Server support

Blog ‐ Posted on 26.01.2012 by simone giannecchini

Dear All,in recent times we were hired to improve GeoServer SQL Server support story.The SQL Server store was created and maintained during spare time by Justin DeOliveira, however due to lack of production usage, and work time to pour on it, it failed to reach to the same level of robustness and speed as the best supported stores, such as Oracle and PostGIS.Our work this week tried to close this gap with a number of little and big improvements that make the code run faster and in a more reliable way:add support for connection validation (very important for SQL Azure,...

Blog ‐ Posted on 17.01.2012 by simone giannecchini

Dear All,In this post I wanted to talk about the work we are doing for the BRISEIDE european project.The ambitious aim of the project, as stated on its website, is the delivery of:time-aware extension of MetOc data models developed in the context of previous/ongoing EU INSPIRE related projects (e.g. in the context of GMES, eContentPlus)application (e.g. Civil Protection) based on the integration of existing, user operational informationvalue added services for spatio-temporal data management, authoring, processing, analysis and interactive visualisationWithin the context of the project, GeoSolutions will work under the leadership of SinerGIS in order to provide near-real time ingestion, cataloging...
