Hi all, today I've updated the HSQL database to version 7.1 and added support for the official Google projection code, 3875.
The HSQL database has been hardened quite a bit, now instead of runing a series of SQL scripts a pre made database, zipped in the classpath, is unpacked on the file system: - first a NIO lock is acquired to make sure no one else is unpacking the database at the same time - then the db is unpacked - then a file that marks the successful creation is created If the marker file exist, then there is guarantee the database was correctly created. If not, the database will be unpacked again overwriting the previous file: no more partial databases because the user killed the process during the database creation. The database is unpacked in a directory that contains the version number in the name, this allows older and newer applications to coexist: the old code upgraded the database and kept just one copy, usually breaking the application using the older version of GeoTools (various changes to the referencing subsystem were necessary to make it work with the new database, they were done time ago when the H2 version was first committed). And oh, the unpacking is so fast that one can barely notice it, no more long waits the first time one starts GS on a new system (or in a situation where the /tmp was used and /tmp is cleaned up fully at each restart, such as in Ubuntu). Support for 3857 was also added and tests were put in place to ensure the projection works exactly like the old one. GeoTools wise this has been done on trunk, GeoServer wise the same, and we'll release the first version of it with 2.0-RC2 I'll continue working on the H2 version of the provider and eventually add the same improvement worked for HSQL, with the intention of making it better and eventually make H2 the default one. Please test and let me know Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
