First of all, awesome work Justin!
I took the python module for a test drive today, and after getting it
to build and pass the tests in eclipse, I wanted to play with it on a
real python shell.
Here is the journey's log:
Destination
========
What I want to do is create a geoserver-admin.py command similar to
django-admin.py to be able to quickly call actions script or shells.
geoserver-admin.py createuser bob
geoserver-admin.py addshapefile myshapefile.shp --workspace sf
geoserver-admin.py runscript mystuff.py
geoserver-admin.py shell
>>> from geoserver import catalog
>>> if "sf" in catalog.stores:
>>> print catalog.stores.get("sf").size
Roadblocks
=========
Before going for a standalon script, I decided to create a maven
plugin to get access to the shell.
Started by modifying a module called maven-jython-plugin, renamed it
to maven-geoscript-plugin and did something like this:
public class JythonShellMojo extends AbstractMojo
{
public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException, MojoFailureException
{
Python python = new Python(new GeoServerResourceLoader(new
File( System.getenv("GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR"))));
String path = python.getLibRoot().getCanonicalPath();
Py.getSystemState().path.insert(0, new PyString( path ));
jython.main(new String[]{});
}
}
Then enabled the plugin in the python community module and ran:
mvn geoscript:shell
but got the following error:
SEVERE: Extension lokup occured, but ApplicationContext is unset [1]
So my question is: "is it possible to get Geoserver up with just
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR and GEOSERVER_HOME set, without using jetty or
tomcat?" I have the feeling that code similar to the one used in the
Test Suite could be used to enable this, but would like to hear
thoughts on it.
Conclusion
========
In any case, the new Python community module made my day, and I'm
looking forward to help bringing it to extension status.
Ariel.
