Sort of ... a WCS service (or indeed a grid coverage in general) is not really modeled by the GeoTools DataStore API - instead it focuses on Features. You will find a GridCoverageExchange API (based on some OGC standard) with Readers for several image formats - the QA and performance of this is the subject of the recent GridCoverage merge...
We also have the concepts of "handles" to spatial data, via IService and IGeoResource catalog interfaces - this API is currently used in uDig to represent DataStore feature data, WFS FeatureCollection data, and WMS layer data. It is this API that would be the best candidate to manage WCS client code (in exactly the same manner as WMS is currently handled). To peruse this I would talk to Richard Gould (the WMS maintainer) and see if any plans or collaboration is a foot. I do not know of GeoServer or uDig pursuing a WCS client as goal at the moment - so perhaps your project will provide the motivation ;-) Jody > > Hello, > > > > We will be very interested to know if any work has been done to have a > WCS data store for GeoTools or if there are any plans extending > GeoTools to handle WCS as well? > > > > Cheers, > > > > Adit > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
