Hey Peter Fay, Actually, I'm slowly working on these docs. Once I get an initial take on referencing, I'll turn to learning and then documenting filters and expressions. Meanwhile you might find stuff in the 'pile of code' that is the wiki. Up to now the policy has been "let's throw examples at the wiki" which turns out to be a bit of a mess, especially so since the geotools codebase is still morphing wildly. (Divide the version number by ten for a version number that can be compared to other free software projects). The 'snippets' on the wiki can be found below: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Use and if there are examples there, then they will give you ideas of stuff to try. However, your mileage *will* vary---they are not documentation and most probably won't compile with whatever version of the library you are using. There may also be examples in the source distribution but you will have to poke around to find them. You could look in org.geotools.demo and in the filter module. No guarantees but that's where I'll look when I try to tackle that area. If you do cobble together working examples, I would love to see them and draw on them for the docs I hope to write. I'll eventually want to work systematically first trying to find and use any convenience functions and then doing stuff "from scratch" to show what's inside a filter/expression. Yes, the docs are missing, as all of us who try to use geotools realize. Like all free software projects, the developers are developing and the users can't really document since they don't understand the code so the docs lag behind. Perhaps in another six months or so they'll be something solid to get users started. cheers, adrian ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
