[Geoserver-users] Geoserver and ecw raster formats

[tilia <da...@dl...>]

Fresh install of Geoserver + Tomcat but only default raster formats
available.
OS Windows server 2008R2 64bit, Tomcat 7.0.62, JVM 32bit jre/jdk1.7 (for
JAI), Geoserver 2.7.1.1 deployed as .war. Fast server with lots of RAM and
HD space.
All the .jars from Geoserver-2.7.1.1-gdal-plugin and imageio-ext-1.1.10-jars
placed in the \webapps\geoserver\WEB-INF\lib. GDAL installed via OSGeo4w.
Environmental variables and paths are fine since gdal works from the command
line (both cmd.exe and OSGeo shell) and gdalinfo lists all the raster
formats including ecw.
I’ve read and re-read the threads on the this subject from this forum
(thanks to Daniel Romagnoli, Mark Volz for insights covering this issue) as
well as the instructions on Geoserver.org regarding installing extra raster
formats + I have read available books on Geoserver. I’ve tried various
combinations of 32bit and 64bit versions of gdal-xxxxx-ecw.msi. (I notice
that there are very many versions of gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll – how significant
are these differences?). I’ve been trying these various combinations of
them, installing, uninstalling, stopping and starting many times over two
days but absolutely no way can I get Geoserver to recognise anything other
than the default raster formats and certainly not ecw.
There are clearly some crucial step/s I’ve missed and/or missing .jar/.dll
in some folder or perhaps as missing tag in a config file somewhere. Any
hints to allow me to preserver (and maintain sanity) would be appreciated!
