Jacopo Cappellato closed OFBIZ-1175.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Incomplete
> Add a GIS WfsEventHandler and a WfsViewHandler

> Key: OFBIZ-1175

> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Al Byers

> I would like to tie the Geoserver and Mapbuilder packages with OFBiz. There
> are three standards for interacting with GIS servers - WMC (raster data,
> satellite images, etc), WMS (vector info like highways, boundaries, etc.) and
> WFS (feature metadata). Geoserver does an excellent job of the first two and
> an okay job of the WFS, but I believe that there will be many business
> applications that will benefit from having and easy GIS add-on. In many
> cases, you need OFBiz to manage the "feature" data as it is non-trivial. If
> OFBiz implemented a WFS interface, it could respond to Mapbuilder requests
> and points of interest could be easily plotted.
> If PostGIS (an extension to Postgres) were used, the same data tables could
> be used for all queries, but sometimes it is not convenient to use PostGIS
> (which like MySQL are the only open source dbs that support spatial
> extensions - but PostGIS is much further along than MySQL). I will probably
> only implement point meta data.
> Anyway, I have skeletons for both those classes that do useful work and I
> would like to add them to the base code. The only reason that I am in a hurry
> to do so is that I cannot see why I could not use the same package
> (org.ofbiz.webapp.event) in my custom webapp, but the system will not find or
> load the handler if it is in my hot-deploy webapp. It uses Freemarker
> templates to translate the incoming ogc:Filter request to simple method code
> (in WfsEventHandler) and another Freemarker template to format an entityList
> back into WFS format (that is done in WfsViewHandler).
