LIMBs for GeoServer Files

Installing and Launching the Demo
---------------------------------

You need an installation of GeoServer with the sample data. Download here: http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Download
The LIMBs demo has been developed with version 2.0.2 of GeoServer but is seen to work on version 2.1.1.

> Download the geoserver-demo zip file.
  Pick the latest release from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/geoserverlimbs/files/dev/maven/net/lucidviews/limb/geoserver-demo/
> Open the zip to review what's being added to your GeoServer installation.
  While the web content is packaged together in a 'limbs' folder, the binaries must be placed in the WEB-INF/lib folder.
  Check the names of these new JARs: 
  > To ensure they don't conflict with anything already in your WEB-INF/lib.
  > So you know what to remove if you want to uninstall.
> Unpack the zip file into your geoserver webapp.
> If your GeoServer webapp is not called 'geoserver' you need to do a search-replace within the geoserver/openlayers/limbs/*.html files.
> Restart your geoserver webapp.
> Visit:   http://<hostname>:<port>/geoserver/openlayers/limbs


NOTE
----

There is no significance in the 'limbs' demo folder being stored inside the 'openlayers' folder.
Originally the demo was dropped into the root of the geoserver webapp but somewhere between v2.0.2 and v2.1.1 a change in the DispatcherServlet config means that web content can't be stored anywhere within the GeoServer webapp. The GeoServer app is configured to serve content out of the OpenLayers folder so I have piggy-backed on this hole in the servlet config.

The limbs demo does not rely on the parent 'openlayers' folder.
You can copy and move the 'limbs' demo folder without taking the 'openlayers' folder with it. (The demo has it's own copy of the OpenLayers JS file.)
