Hello Frans, as Jody mentioned, there is deegree as well [1]. deegree WMS is fully certified by OGC, and it is the reference implementation for WMS 1.1.1 and WMS 1.3.0 [2]. Currently, deegree is in OSGeo incubation, and we are looking forward to solve the pending issues within the next few

Hello Frans, even though it is an uncommon way to spell it, the software really is called deegree, with two double-ee. Some more details from the OSGeo SVN: https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/flyer/project_brochure_pdfs/OSGeo_Brochures_deegree.pdf Hope you will enjoy the software! Kind

hi all i just got Java Geotools as an Java API to access the geospatial server based on WMS (OGC) any one have experience with this kind of things? i just want to treat the server as database. so all geospatial server is database, this API is look like ODBC or JDBC -- Frans Thamura

If you were really keen you could write a JDBC bridge to the GeoTools DataStore API; it would be a great contribution (and hurt everyones brain). still dont get how the SELECT * FROM city will retun city map map.google.com have a searching feature.. NB: i am still learning to connect those

Playing a bit of devil's advocate but (broadly speaking) if you want your app to be interchangeable with different implementations of (nontrivial) standards you always need to test interoperability anyway because even in (unattainable) perfectly bug-free software there is always some variance due

To help in this you can now obtain the cite tests yourself; which are used to test applications prior to being certified; so at least in this case you can actually know what certification means. Jody On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 1:45 PM, Brian Russo br...@beruna.org wrote: Playing a bit of devil's
