Dear Alessio,
I will pass your feedback (I found the link already before) to our Liferay
team. What is not quite clear to me is how does geoserver integrate with it
it is totally missing in the diagrams. I know it is not a particular
problem, you can issue a portlet-based query to Geoserver and get the
response, but then you need to implement a WMS/WFS client for that. Which
gets me back to where I was hoping to get what did you use as a map
interface, and/or for WFS inputs (we expect these also from federated
resources. I am thinking, for the moment, about an OpenLayers maps interface
(and again, cannot find a portlet, although there seems to be some project
originating in spain, but no more maintained).
I am not myself the developer of the Liferay backend, I am just trying to
convey some geospatial experience to our tech guys now, and I do not want
them to re-invent the wheel. I know that they are about to try to use
Geotools as a WFS client to simplify the parsing of the responses (is there
a better way?), but I was wondering if this is not an overkill. Anyway, all
hints are welcome.
