Hello fellow Geoserver users & devs I know Geoserver already from my student times and made some projects with it at that time. But recently it really recaught my attention again with the WPS extension together with the Python Scripting extension. It's a really easy and fast way to serve some basic processes.
So I planned using Geoserver for my upcoming projects (using WPS) together with the two named extensions. After digging a bit deeper I have some remaining questions regarding the support of WPS features, etc. which are blocking my current development. Maybe someone of you has answers? 1) So far all default WPS services do not support async processing: <ProcessDescription wps:processVersion="1.0.0" statusSupported="false" storeSupported="false"> Is there general support for async requests by the WPS extension? Is there any way to change these properties when setting up a process via the Python Scripting? If not, would it be possible to implement a hook for status & store procedures in the python scripts (E.g. def store() & def status())? 2) I saw that I can influence the process' input descriptors (and WPS request builder UI) by using different types/objects in my python script, for instance basic python types (str, int, double, etc.) produce literal input descriptors whereas objects imported from geoscript (Geometry, Point, Polygon) lead to complex nput descriptors. Are there other input types I could use? Is there a list or better documentation available? In my case I would like to specify rasters as inputs to my service! 3) Is it planned to implement process specific access control mechanism, comparable to the data specific security rules? I don't want to generally allow users to use WPS, but I also would like to fine-tune access based on certain services or namespaces! Ok, these are currently my main issues. I know the Python scripting is still a work in progress and not everything works perfect yet. In this case I would like to trigger the development of these issues. Thanks for any feeback and answers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?
