Hi Justin, I do need the DataStore to live between instances of GeoServer -- I just want to be able to connect to it from the WFS Request post test page. I want to drop in an XML query like this:
<wfs:GetFeature service="WFS" version="1.0.0" outputFormat="GML2" xmlns:topp="http://www.openplans.org/topp"; xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs"; xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"; xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:myNamespace="http://myNamespace.com"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd";> <wfs:Query typeName="myNamespace:myFeatureID"> </wfs:Query> </wfs:GetFeature> and have it find my DataStore through through the plugin factory Here is what I did: 1) wrote ObjectDataStore.java that implements AbstractDataStore 2) wrote ObjectDataStoreFactory.java that extends AbstractDataStoreFactory and implements DataStoreFactorySpi 3) wrote ObjectFeatureReader that implements FeatureReader 4) wrote other code that gives the data to these things when called upon (e.g. wrote a class RoadElement that implements Feature -- this has the data and it is retrieved from some other code) 6) Packaged up as Jar with META-INF/services/org.geotools.data.DataStoreFactorySpi = my.package.hierarchy.ObjectDataStoreFactory 7) Added the Jar to GeoTools project libraries. 8) Edited ..\rel_1_3_0_rc6\server\geoserver\WEB-INF\catalog.xml (using Jetty) to add my datastore and namespace as follows: <datastore namespace = "myNamespace" enabled = "true" id="RoadElement"> <connectionParams><parameter value = "myNamespace" name="namespace"/></connectionParams></datastore> <namespace uri="http://myNamespace.com"; prefix = "myNamespace" /> 9) Killed GeoServer: ant->stop 10) Started GeoServer: ant->start 11) http://localhost:8080/geoserver checked Config -> Data -> Stores .. my DataStore does not show up -- hence my WFS sample post above surely won't work. Please excuse my ignorance -- I know I'm probably missing multiple steps here. Any hand-holding that anyone has any free time for is immensely appreciated!
