####A Generic GeoExt2 Client for GeoServer####

All you need to do to get it working is:

1. changing the Config.js File
2. Running it on a Tomcat WebServer
3. Proxy servlet to bypass the cross-origin error of the wfs requests needs python (add path to web.xml)
4. Add your Geoserver Address to the python proxy
5. Create A Schema in PostgreSQL and define its jdbc connection string in PostgreSQLConnector by altering the following line

c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/GEODB", "postgres", "otinane");

notes

• I am trying to intergrate an older project of mine tougo on this as geospatial functions. First try is SimplifyPolygon (just a test so just ignore it for the time being).
• Feature Editing works (insert and update) there is a bug with labeling the new features. Editing in the web is a bit complex so I have to post instructions on how the whole concept works. No attribure editing atm.
• index.html changed to index.jsp (no jsp tags though in file) due to the spring mvc transition
• PostgreSQL is now part of the application
• Thoughts to switch to Hibernate rather than raw sql
• Some tools may require some Geoserver Plugins (like printing)

Application Capabilities

• Can load all existing layers from Geoserver
• Select the Geometry of any layer (with the identify button) regardless the name of the Geometry Column (important)
• Display a property grid (with the identify button) but only for the first resulted geometry of the layer
• Displays the Legend
• Go to a pair of Coordinates
• Query Layers through wfs services
• Automatically detect browser language and display application in the appropriate language if applicable (english being the default)
• English and Greek language file (looking for anyone eager to translate to other languages)
• Stores in Cookie a Guid to identify each client instance
• Spring mvc/rest framework added
• Show/Hide Layers (Layer Visibility is stored per user in the database layer)
• Select Areas and Layers Save them to db and download them later as Shapefiles
• Choose and Hide Tools
• Feature Editing Needs Improvements but it works.

Work on progress

• A more complete Java BackEnd
• Sql Scripts for building the database
• Attribute Editing
• Adding tougo functionalities as geospatial functions

Comming Soon

• Add/Search Metadata

Distant Future

• Search GeonetWork
• Networks
• Topology
