Hi Mark, about fourth item: > Fourth, > I am also interested in creating a secure interactive web editing map. Users will only really need to add points, a house number, and perhaps add some comments. This will be a very low use application so I would like to avoid installing a DBMS if I can. For example, I would prefer using spatial lite to run the web editing application. I really recommend to use Postgresql/Postgis, it's easy to install (it has windows installers) and has low hardware requirements to work. If your application supports multiple users and you are concerned about data security this is the best approach to follow. On security side, you can use Geoserver security options: https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/security/layer.htmlIf you need advanced security features, see GeoFence: https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/geofence-server/index.html Have fun!

Hello, I am considering possibly using GeoServer to host an interactive mapping application. I have a few newbie questions regarding GeoServer: First, My understanding is that GeoServer runs on Java, however Java from Oracle is no longer free to use. I heard of the Open JDK project. However, I am not sure which version I should use for a Windows 64 bit environment. Could someone let me know which version I should use? Second, Is there any application frameworks out there, and somewhat easy to follow instructions to create a general interactive mapping application. Some of the tools that my current application has (not that I am expecting everything) include the following tools: · Measure length and area. · Print. · Identify. · Link to Google Street view. · Select and Buffer Select tools (this one I am not sure if anyone uses). · Layer Switcher (several vector layers can be turned on or off), the user also has a list of 16 different backgrounds. · Search land owners by name or parcel identification number. · Coordinate display. Third, Is there any application framework, and easy to follow instructions on how to create a simple mobile application. Obviously, the mobile application will have far fewer functions than the desktop version. Fourth, I am also interested in creating a secure interactive web editing map. Users will only really need to add points, a house number, and perhaps add some comments. This will be a very low use application so I would like to avoid installing a DBMS if I can. For example, I would prefer using spatial lite to run the web editing application. My Background: · I have played around with GeoServer in the past. I think the web administration page is easy to use (Good job!). · I have some experience with Postgres and PostGIS. However, if I can avoid it I would prefer to not install the DBMS to run a web editing application. · I can somewhat follow the instructions on OpenLayers. However, there are hundreds of tools to choose from so it is difficult to know where to begin. I would prefer instead to start with a working general purpose interactive map then customize it as needed. Thanks! Sincerely, Mark Volz, GISP
