[Gistoolkit-editor] Still Alive ? (and 10g question)

[<Eri...@dm...>]

Is project still alive ?

And if yes, I've the following questions:

I'm facing the following problem while trying to connect to an Oracle 10g 
database from GISToolkit Editor 2.8.1:
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/sdoapi/geom/Geometry at 
gistoolkit.datasources.oracle.OracleDataSource.<init>(OracleDataSourc
e.java:120)

Of course, I've check classpath.

I've read on OTN that 10g sdoapi is the first supported api and that 
classes have change. They are now named JGeometry.

Are there any solution ? Is it reasonable to retrieve a 9i sdoapi.jar file 
and use it ?

Are there any plan on your side to solve this PB ?

Thanks for any info.

Eric.

[ithaqua <it...@at...>]

No.
   Most recently, I have been working on the Web Map Service portion of
the product to implement SLD.  There  are quite a few challenges
however, and I have not released the code.

Nah!
Try to look on the CVS

Some classes are 3 months old.

Re: [Gistoolkit-editor] quickwms and gistoolkit server

[ithaqua <it...@at...>]

I have updated the code to accept "JPEG", and "PING" as valid image
types as well as "jpg", and "png".  Till then, use the 3 letter
abbreviations, instead of the 4 letter ones.

Re: [Gistoolkit-editor] quickwms and gistoolkit server

[ithaqua <it...@at...>]

Hi,
   It took some experimentation with the Java Script to get it to work,
but eventually I did.  Here is the sample code that I used:

<script language=3D'Javascript'>
// WMS servers - list here other OGC compliant map servers=20
var demisWMS =3D "http://localhost:40320/USA";

	function writeMaps(){
		var map =3D new quickWMS(-180, -90, 180, 90);
		map.addLayer(demisWMS, "States", "1.0.0", "Modis Mosaic");	=09
		map.onError =3D function (layer){alert("error")}
		map.layers[0].format=3D"png";		=09
		map.writeDOM("myMap", 350, 195, 350, 175,
"background-color:white;border-style:solid;border-width:1;border-color:blac=
k;");
		map.toolbar =3D new toolBar(map);
		map.toolbar.writeDOM(350,170,true);	=09
		map.refresh();
		}
writeMaps()=09
</script>=09

So, the key things that need to change, are to remove the trailing "/"
from your URL, and change the format to either "jpg", or "png".

Hope that helps.,

[Gistoolkit-editor] quickwms and gistoolkit server

[Johannes B. <joh...@od...>]

hi,
does anyone known how to connect quickwms to the gistoolkit server?
quickwms is a simple javascript client for accessing wms servers.
(http://giserver.esrin.esa.int/quickwms/)

as descriped in the documentation the wms server can be accessed
through the url of the wms service (http://localhost:40320/dhm/) and the layername, 
in my example (NewLayer). 

<script language='Javascript'>

// WMS servers - list here your favorite server
// Changes: 2003-10-24 : Added http:// to the DEMIS and ESRIN server urls
var gistoolkit = "http://localhost:40320/dhm/";

function writeMaps(){

    var map = new mapWMS(-180,-90,180,90);
    map.addLayer(gistoolkit, "NewLayer");
    map.layers[0].format="JPEG";
    map.writeDOM("myMap", 350, 175, 350, 175, "background-color:white; border-style:solid; border-width:1; border-color:black;");
    map.refresh();

}
writeMaps();
</script>

but i dont know what to parameters the gistoolkitserver requires to return the map.
using these settings i do not get a result.

Thanks for any hints, also with accessing the gistoolkit server with other wms clients 
could be interesting for me.

[Gistoolkit-editor] Oracle Data Source

[ithaqua <it...@at...>]

The new oracle datasource is now available.
Oracle 8i and 9i are supported with the locator(spatial) service
enabled, the older relational-spatial model is not supported.

To compile the Oracle datasource, you will need the following jar files.

ojdbc14.jar, sdoapi.zip (Oracle9i)

  The ojdbc14.jar file is the oracle JDBC thin drivers, that are
required for any application to access the Oracle database.  The
sdoapi.zip archive is a set of client side classes that convert the
Oracle9i proprietary structures into Java objects so they can be used
within an application.  The ojdbc14.jar archive can be downloaded from
Oracle's web site for drivers and utilities.  The sdoapi.zip files are
located under the Oracle Spatial option along with a bunch of other
useful Oracle Spatial utilities.

ojdbc14.jar ->

Great ;)
I this day i have started a implementation on a utility to genere SVG file 
from a ESRI Shapefile by use GISToolkit and Batik classes


> Questions:

mmm ... i think this is not enough 

> Is there a need to add support for the server to save SVG documents?

I think is a good idea generate SVG server side to have a good web gis but is 
necessary create a SVG user interface for the map navigation.
Look here:
http://www.geoserver.org
http://www.carto.net/projects/open_svg_mapserver/
http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/links/

Another question:
SVG can support serveral type of reference system, so, you can create a SVG 
file by using the "realy" coordinate system (without the traslation to the 
"screen coordinate system").
Look here
http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/comparison_flash_svg/
 to the "Coordinate-Systems, Transformations" section

About SVG:
look to this funny presentation
http://www.w3c.it/talks/webbit2003-SVG/0.svg

[Gistoolkit-editor] SVG Format for saving maps.

[ithaqua <it...@at...>]

There is a new command (SaveSVGCommand) that saves the completed maps in
SVG format.

The GISToolkitEditor uses the BATIK classes to generate these maps, so
you will need to download and install BATIK to make this command
appear.  BATIK consists of several jar files, but the only ones you are
going to need are:

batik-svggen.jar
batik-dom.jar
batik-awt-util.jar
batik-util.jar
batik-xml.jar

If these classes are not in the class path, then the save as SVG menu
command will not appear.

Questions:
Is there a need to add support for reading a SVG document as a data
source?
Is there a need to add support for the server to save SVG documents?

Thanks,
Ithaqua.

Re: [Gistoolkit-editor] gistoolkit and DB2 spatial extender

Hi Ithaqua,
i have also discussed the use of gistoolkit with the db2 spatial extender
with knut solze one of the main developers of ibm.
he pointed to use queries like=20

instead the one used in the current version of gistoolkit.=20
i thing it might be a good idea to write some java code which can be easily
used in other opensource gis applications like geotools or geoserver as
well. Is there a road map for the future development of the gistoolkit??

[Gistoolkit-editor] gistoolkit and DB2 spatial extender

[<it...@at...>]

Johannes

Hi, and welcome to the GISToolkit lists.  We are
still developing the GISToolkit, and are working
on an Oracle connector at the moment.  The DB2
Spatial extender Data source is operational and
well tested.  It works with Jdk 1.2.0 and above,
so there should be no trouble working with 1.4.

I just noticed the other day that the GISToolkit
Server sends HTML to the client that requests the
specific version of Java.  I did this because of
problems with compatibility and the JDK 1.1 that
exists on most Windows machines.  This can be
easilly changed to a different version by editing
one of the class files.

gistoolkit.server.mapservice.clientextender.ClientExtender

But you can use the htmlclient just as easilly.
This will not require a jdk version.

If you are having trouble with the CVS archives,
the source code for the GISToolkit can be
downloaded in .zip format from a link on the home
page, developers corner.  This is the cutting
edge, most recent build of the toolkit, and should
be consistent with what is in CVS.

I have been giving the "Tomcat" problem some
thought lately.  We have written tomcat servlets
which just access the Web Map Service and server
the images that way.  It may or may not be simple
depending on how you wish to go about it.

Finally.  Feel free to send me e-mail directly.

Thanks,
Ithaqua



 I am trying to build an application with
gistoolkit and the db2 spatial
 extender. i am more or less a newbie in Java
programming so  i have a few
 questions. Trying the binary code and setting up
the a layer (an shapefile
 example) i was asked on the client site to
install the java plugin version
 1.3.1.2. is there a way to change the version of
this required plugin,
 because i only have java 1.4 installed. Probably
i have to build the
 source code by myself, to get rid of the plugin
version. therefore i
 wanted to checkout the cvs on sourceforge, but it
doesnt work: after 
 cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous@cv...:/cvsroot/gistoolkit login
 i got the message 
 cvs [login aborted]: end of file from server (consult
 above messages if any)
 for the password i just pressed the enter key as
described at sourceforge.
 any ideas?
 is there a simple way to integrate the gistoolkit
into tomcat?

i have already looked at it, but as far as i know there havent developed 
an DB2 Spatial Extender Connector. Thats why i looked at the gistoolkit.
The first try didnt work with my db2 8.1 spatial extender
(new funktions). so i changed the code a little bit for my personal use,
and it worked. 
But anyway, perhaps its better to use a programm of an active developing
community like geotools or geoserver. it should not be so difficult to
make use of the gistoolkit code and implement it into the other programms. 
i will try to do it. 
Perhaps someone else want to work with db2 spatial extender too.

I'm not from the Gistoolkit team, but have noticed that no one is respondin=
g=20
to this list anymore.

With regards to CVS, I've noticed that there have been problems with CVS on=
=20
sourceforge lately.  It is probably working again now.  It not, try using t=
he=20
ssh interface to sourceforge.  It has been more reliable lately.  Eg:
cvs -d:ext:cam...@cv...:/cvsroot/geotools checkout geotools

Also of note, if you are looking for a java gis project with an active=20
development community behind it, you might want to check http://geotools.or=
g=20
=2E  (I think gistoolkit-editor is based on early versions of geotools).

[Gistoolkit-editor] gistoolkit and DB2 spatial extender

[Johannes <joh...@od...>]

Hi,
I am trying to build an application with gistoolkit and the db2 spatial
extender. i am more or less a newbie in Java programming so  i have a few
questions. Trying the binary code and setting up the a layer (an shapefile
example) i was asked on the client site to install the java plugin version
1.3.1.2. is there a way to change the version of this required plugin,
because i only have java 1.4 installed. Probably i have to build the
source code by myself, to get rid of the plugin version. therefore i
wanted to checkout the cvs on sourceforge, but it doesnt work: after 
cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/gistoolkit login
i got the message 
cvs [login aborted]: end of file from server (consult
above messages if any)
for the password i just pressed the enter key as described at sourceforge.
any ideas?
is there a simple way to integrate the gistoolkit into tomcat?


Thanks for any help

Johannes

[Gistoolkit-editor] geo-referenced images and UML

[ithaqua <it...@at...>]

 If you have a tif, and tfw file, or jpg and jpw file, then simply open a new layer, select
 the Image File Datasource, and select the tif or jpg file.  The data source should automatically
 read the world information from the world file and default the correct coordinates.  If this is not
 the case, you can enter the correct coordinates for the image.

 Selecting OK will cause the image to be displayed in the viewer.

 DIRECTORY
 If you have a directory of these files, you may wish to use the Image Directory Data source to display them.  It will combine them and only read the ones you are displaying.

 HUGE IMAGE FILES
 If you data is very large, you may wish to use the RasterCatalog creator (tools menu) to create a RasterCatalog.  This will
 chop your directory of large images into smaller tiles that are much faster to display at all zoom levels.

 To my knowledge, there is no UML diagram of GISToolkit.

 Thanks for your question.
 Ithaqua.

[Gistoolkit-editor] gistoolkit and geotools

[Cameron S. <csh...@bi...>]

Hello GIS Toolkit people,

I'm a developer on the http://geotools.sourceforge.net project, adding Web 
Feature Server and Web Map Server functionality to it.

I've just had a quick look at the GIS Toolkit and have been impressed with 
what you have to offer.
It would be great if we could join energies and share some of our source 
code.  (For instance, we have not got the an editor interface).

At Geotools, we are currently restructuring our design to make it more 
modular, and base our types on the Java Topology Suite (JTS). 
http://www.vividsolutions.com/jts/jtshome.htm

If the GIS Toolkit were to support the JTS types, then we can the build 
common Data Sources and share them.

We are also looking into building projection libraries, which it seems you 
are doing too, so we should be able to share that work too.

I'm interested to know:
1. Are you interested in joining forces in some way.
2. Have you got ideas on how you want to develop further, something like a 
road map?
3. A bit of history about your project.  Who are you, where have you come 
from?
4. What Country/City/Timezone you are in, and whether you are interested in 
joining us for an IRC meeting some time.  (We are currently meeting once a 
week on IRC).  I will forward details of our next one.  You are welcome to 
join in.

I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Cameron Shorter.

Hi!
How i can use a geo-referenced image like .tiff with a  word-file?
I have another question: where a can find a class diagram (UML) of
gistoolkit?
