------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I've just tried to add the WPS module to the community nightly build. Is someone interested to try it out and see if if works? Don't have time to try it out myself. At the current stage of development the WPS can trade feature collections in a few formats (GML2, GML2, GeoJSon, zipped shapefiles), raw geometries (GML2, GML3, WKT), bounding boxes, coverages in geotiff and arcgrid format. It has a ton of processes, many of them courtesy of Sextante, some (45) JTS based, some others that I'm building (like importing data in the catalog, collection aggregations, and so on). It can grab data from remote WFS servers and directly access the catalog if you try to use the local WFS and WCS servers using the special "http://geoserver/wfs"; and "http://geoserver/wcs"; urls (no intermediate parsing required). It has a tool in the demo section of the GUI that somewhat helps to build a request (knowledge of WPS is still required, but at least you don't have to painfully write down 200loc of XML to make a request, it will do that for you). That said, there is still a mountain of stuff to be done, enough to keep busy a small army of coders: - no support for asynch execution - no support for KVP Execute request - many Sextante processes do not actually run, there are issues with binding the data types they expose. The integration with Sextante is really messy and should be rewritten - no limits on the size of the input/outputs, meaning not ready for production - of course when it comes to processes sky's the limit so you can look for other process libraries to bind or make your own (some days ago looked into the integration of jgrasstools, which looks very nice, but unfortunately seems to require java 6...) - Make the request builder more user friendly So if the topic interests you, please join and help. There is a big meal to be cooked here and only one cook in the kitchen....
