The following message is from Volker (of couchdb for GIS presentation fame) who wanted to hook couchdb up to GeoTools. Turns out OpenGeo engineering had a blog post with an example of adapting the properties datastore to hitting a restful web service. Volker picked up that code and started porting it to GeoTools 2.6 feature model; and then got fed up with the GeoJSON parser.
I also thought the AuScope team had a developer working on a generic web service data access recently? Please advise Ben? Jody PS. Thanks for taking part in the code sprint Voker. --------------------- From: Volker Mische [mailto:volker.mis...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, 27 October 2009 12:32 PM To: Jody Garnett Subject: RESTful datastore for GeoTools Hi, In case anyone wants to create a RESTful HTTP (with GeoJSON) datastore, here are my findings (I tried that yesterday, but ran out of time and skills). There is a prototype in JIRA already [1], which uses it's own GeoJSON parser [2]. As its code base is for GeoTools 2.4 I would code the datastore from scratch, with that one as a template. For GeoJSON parsing I'd use the one from the Mapfish project [3] instead.
