Publish table description information
-------------------------------------
Key: GEOT-2435
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-2435
Project: GeoTools
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: data postgis
Reporter: Jody Garnett
Assignee: Justin Deoliveira
Fix For: 2.6-M1
This is a simple request: if the table or column description information has
been filled in - publish this description (somehow) through the geotools api.
There are two good candidates:
- DataStore.getInfo and DataStore.getInfo( Name ) to retrieve database and
table descriptions
- AttributeDescriptor for column description information; even if we need to
make use of the user properties for the short term
We should be able to communicate:
- display name --> title
- description --> abstract
The driver for this bug report is the CCIP integration showcase where
MarkLeslie has filled in all the table descriptions in the PostGIS database;
and a lot of the column descriptions as well. It would be good to leverage this
work as default descriptions; rather than copying and pasting the text out of
pgAdmin.
