Hi,

About WFS-(T), unfortunately it is dead. I am sure that there are no very big 
issues there but at the moment nobody will fix them. Problems are mostly 
connected with parsing the XML that comes from WFS servers.  WFS plugin is 
based on deegree and deegree folks started to develop iGeoDesktop instead. 
Kosmo has pretty well working WFS but only for reading, not WFS-T. I am not 
sure if it is also based on deegree or if it is easily reusable in OpenJUMP.

OpenJUMP WFS plugin has very nice features and it is perhaps the best that 
exists for making spatial queries. It would be very nice to get it alive again. 
I think I got an estimate couple of years ago that it could cost something like 
5000 euros if contracted (one weeks work for someone who knows deegree well 
already).

OpenJUMP with WFS-T support and launched through Java Web Start would be 
something unique in open source GIS and it would for sure beat OpenLayers 
applications in demanding work.

Aihe: [JPP-Devel] OpenJUMP at FOSSGIS Germany review

Hi,

here comes my small report from the german FOSSGIS conference in Dessau.

1. Some people had the feeling that OJ was dead. These doubts I could
eliminate :-) We make not the big, spectacular steps in development, but
OJ is alive. One consequence can be, that we make more and better
marketing for our "baby".

2. There was some questions about the WFS support in OJ. Especially the
"T" letter will be more and more important for the users. I hope I have
said nothing wrong, that the plugin have WFS-T support. At least that is
on the wiki page.

3. A few users gave me the confirmation that a german website especially
for the german speaking people is a good thing. On the www.openjump.de
website you can see a photo from the OJ booth.

4. As you can see I had a rollup and flyers. If anyone need flyers or
the rollup for a presentation, I can send him that. But both things are
in german!

5. One question I couldn't answer. Is there a possibility to make a
"Join" from an attribute to some external data? In the ArcGIS this is
possible (but i have never seen any Arc produkt). For examle you have a
shape file with a ID attribute column. This ID's are unique. And on the
other side you have a CSV or Excel file with some metadata for the
geometries in that shape file. In the external metadata file you have
the same ID's to join both. But this is a 1:n relation! As an example
you can imagine that you have a shape file with some buildings. Now you
get a CSV/Excel file with the owners of this buildings from a external
provider and you need to view or query all the owners for every building
in the map. There is no problem to convert this metadata in some other
formats or databases. But I see the problem to represent multiple
metadata for one geometry. Any idea?????

6. And finally i met Sascha and Björn from the Intevation company. We
had talked about some OJ stuff and possible or desirable works in the
future. Such as improvements in the rendering or a integrated print
function.

Regards

Matthias
