I think so, let me try one:
1. user adds a WPS url to a preference page
IDEA: Preference Page
ok, I need to learn what a preference page is.
Well you can see one :-) Open up Windows > Preferences next time you are
in eclipse. Also the eclipse documentation is pretty good ...
2. Create a Web Process context menu for WFS FeaturesType (am I correct
in understanding that WPS can only be used when chained with a WFS? Or
can we upload GML as to the WPS and get an answer back?)
IDEA: Context Menu Contribution
So I need to learn about Context Menu's...
Well, if I understand your question correctly, the answer is no. WPS can
be used without chaining with WFS. The WPS interface is very general, it
allows for specifying any type of input and any type of output,
That is great ;-)
3. A dialog pops up where the user can choose what process to "Execute",
uDig creates a temporary layer to "catch" these features as they come back
IDEA: Dialog
Need to learn Dialogs...
Lots to learn ;-)
4. WPS goes chunk chunk chunk on the data
5. SPS Cient gobbles up the GML as it comes back, and provides a stream
of normal geotools features
SPS Client sounds like a nice client...
Typo: WPS Client (using any of the GML parsers)
6. uDig takes those feature and puts them into a temporary layer as they
are produced.
IDEA: Creating a tempoary layer
Need to learn how to create a layer...
They have been talking about it all week, hopefully someone who got it
to work can write a web page?
7. user can do normal stuff with the produced data, including save it
out to a file.
Right.
Sounds like a plan. But perhaps I should cut straight to the chunk chunk
chunk and see to it that the critical stuff for this project works
before adding the nice GUI "WPS processes selection and adding inputs"
etc.
Enjoy chunking,
Jody
