Ciao Greg,
GeoTools and therefore GeoServer does not support this format as of now.
As you noticed, it is supported by GDAL, which means we can support it
inside geotools/geoserver quite easily through the imageio-ext [1]
project and its geotools/geoserver counterpart [2][3].
We have not added support for it so far becasue of lack of interest,
but it seems that things have changed :-).
I am ccing daniele so that he willprovide more details on this.

Simone.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the response.  It looks like GDAL has some support for
reading these files.  Not sure about GeoTools.  I'll do some more
looking into this today.  In any case, a lot of work has been done on
reverse engineering the (proprietary) file spec, so a native Java
implementation might be possible.  I'd have to scope it out, and run it
by my boss.

It would be great to know whether anyone has tried to do this before.
If I'm heading for a giant brick wall, I might want to put on a helmet ;)

Cheers,

Greg

Hi Greg,

As far as i know (and please coverage folks correct me if i am wrong)
you are correct, only ascii grids are handled. I think it would be
great if you could contribute and help develop a format for binary grids.

Simone and the coverage exprts should be able to better guide you on
how to proceed.

Hi,

We have a large amount of data in Arc/Info binary grid format.  I an
ESRI newbie.  But, I understand that there are two Arc/Info grid
formats: ASCII and binary.  It looks to me like GeoServer only serves
the ASCII format out of the box.  Is this correct?  If so, is there a
GeoServer plugin that enables serving of these binary grids?

If not, my employer might be willing to pay me to work on this.

Cheers,

Greg
