Hi, I wrote an Image mosaicking/pyramidal plugin for a tile store in a DB.
It is the same principle as the existing image mosaicking plugin, but it was impossible to use it because I have 10 million tiles (200x200 inPixel) and my wms client requests images of 1280x1024 size. 10 million files would be a headache, tiled geotiff files with pyramids are limited to 2 GB in size, so there was no solution for me. My idea was to implement something like ARCSde does, but using jdbc with the possibility to adapt to any database with a spatial extension. My geoserver deployment platform is an AIX 5.3 with Websphere Application Server 6.1. My Database is DB2 9.1 with Spatial Extender. Since there is no native encoding/decoding support on the AIX Platform I got a serious performance problem. The Solution was a multithreaded tile decoding which works fine. (My biggest table has 3,5 million tiles). I use the geotools api for spatial DB access, only the few SQL statements for tiles are hard coded. I want to contribute this plug to the geotools, so what are the next steps ? christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
