Hi Justin
Thanks for your quick response.
I have already connected Geoserver to SQL 2008 and successfully created
WMS layers. My aim is now to create WMS layers based on data that
changes regularly and for this reason, rightly or wrongly, I thought I
would have to go down the Maven/Eclipse route.
Ideally what I am after is for a user to say, hit a button which creates
a layer/table in SQL 2008, which is then displayed via Geoserver and
Openlayers as a WMS layer.
What I am unsure about is how to or where to add the functionality to
Eclipse to connect to SQL Server 2008 (Geoserver patch and JDBC driver),
and then adding the datasource/layers/styles.
I'm sorry if this is quite complicated, I just couldn't seem to extract
how to do this from the various bits of documentation.
Again, thanks for any help here!
Chris

Hi Chris,
So you are looking to patch existing geoserver functionality? If so you
will probably want to checkout some things in the developer guide:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/developer/quickstart/index.html
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/developer/maven-guide/index.html
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/developer/eclipse-guide/index.html
If you are just looking to connect geoserver to sql server you can do
that pretty much out of the box. You just need to download the sql
server extension [1] and then install the jdbc driver from microsoft. As
for creating thematic maps with geoserver that is also available out the
box and documented [2].
Hope that helps.

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to geoserver, although what I've seen so far is
impressive, however, I'm not sure I have bitten off more than I can chew
here so any advice here would be extremely welcome.
I'm working on an OpenLayers web app, using SQL 2008 to do the more
complicated spatial calculations and so on. What I have been tasked
with doing now is adding in thematic WMS layers to show exposure level
etc. Now so far I have been able to download, install, and create WMS
from SQL 2008 Server, and now I need to make this a more dynamic
affair. I have downloaded Maven, and Eclipse and successfully install
these (which seems to have disabled my original instance of Geoserver)
and can display the demo WMS layers in OpenLayers, but I am almost
completely at a loss as to how I:
a) install the JDBC driver
b) add the SQL patch/module for Geoserver to Eclipse
c) add any custom data to Eclipse
...and so on.
Any help what so ever would be extremely welcome! I have been through
the documentation and it still doesn't seem at all clear.
Thank you all in advance
Chris
