WMS vs. WMTS and GetFeatureInfo Requests

How to get GetFeatureInfo requests to perform against GeoWebCache?  Just don’t.  I’m unclear as to whether it is problematic to do this because of a known bug or known implementation differences between the (unofficial) WMTS standard as implemented by OpenLayers and GeoServer, but in Googling for answers to how to perform a GetFeatureInfo request against GeoWebCache, I discovered a workaround (logged here for example).  The … Continue reading WMS vs. WMTS and GetFeatureInfo Requests

GeoWebCache Configuration

I’ve long delayed the configuration of GeoWebCache (GWC).  Automatic configuration within GeoServer’s deployment of it has been adequate until now.   Until now that I want to deploy tiles in something other than Google Mercator… . I’ve developed a cache setup for Ohio State Plane North, Feet (epsg:3734).  At first it was a going to be a cache just for our service area, then I thought … Continue reading GeoWebCache Configuration

Contours– Structuring PostGIS data for viewing with GeoServer

Naively structured data is my bane– the desire (and need) to get stuff done so often overtakes the time needed to do things the better way. So, we bootstrap. A long time ago, we managed to load in a few tens of gigs of contour data into PostGIS, partitioned it into 2ft, 10ft, 20ft, 50ft, 100ft and 250ft tables using select queries with a modulus … Continue reading Contours– Structuring PostGIS data for viewing with GeoServer

GeoServer and efficient delivery of raster data (image pyramid layer)

One thing I’ve learned in the last few years is that there is no theoretical reason why (properly indexed and summarized) data cannot be displayed at all scales as quickly as at any scale. This is the principle at work behind the extraordinary efficiencies of delivering data and imagery through a slippy map interface like Google, Bing, and OpenLayers as well as efficient thick client … Continue reading GeoServer and efficient delivery of raster data (image pyramid layer)

GeoServer Optimization

As we move away from a simple stack of PostGIS/GeoServer/GeoWebCache/Openlayers to wrapping a MapFish print service into the stack, it’s time to think more seriously about optimizing and stabilizing GeoServer. In preparation for this step, I’ve been setting up a series of VMWare ESX-hosted Debian Linux VMs to function as the cluster of geospatial services. Fortunately for me, there’s plenty of great advice in Andre … Continue reading GeoServer Optimization

Parcel Annotations in GeoServer (with some Maplex help) (cont. 1)

See the previous post for an explanation, but here’s the SLD we used for parcel labeling. Now remember– we got those rotation values from Maplex, so this isn’t a pure use of SLDs, but boy is it a long one anyway: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”ISO-8859-1″?> <StyledLayerDescriptor version=”1.0.0″ xmlns=”http://www.opengis.net/sld&#8221; xmlns:ogc=”http://www.opengis.net/ogc&#8221; xmlns:xlink=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink&#8221; xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&#8221; xsi:schemaLocation=”http://www.opengis.net/sld http://schemas.opengis.net/sld/1.0.0/StyledLayerDescriptor.xsd”&gt; <NamedLayer> <Name>Parcels Annotation</Name> <UserStyle> <Title>Parcels Annotation</Title> <Abstract>Symbolization for labelling of parcels</Abstract> <FeatureTypeStyle> <Rule> … Continue reading Parcel Annotations in GeoServer (with some Maplex help) (cont. 1)

Parcel Annotations in GeoServer (with some Maplex help)

smathermather: We have a guest blogger today– Ramon, a bright and hard-working intern I’ve had the pleasure of working with for over a year.  If you’re looking for someone versed in Postgre/PostGIS/GeoServer/OpenLayers, Ramon’s been my rock as we’ve been building our internal system, doing everything from basic grunt work to esoteric trouble-shooting.  I’m trying hard not to fall on my face now that he’s moved … Continue reading Parcel Annotations in GeoServer (with some Maplex help)
