Broken community DDS module - maintainance

[whatnick]

Hi People,

I have been working on the DDS and BIL format support to supply data to WorldWind. I have 2 JIRA issues filed regarding this:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3586
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3585

I would like to take over maintainance of this module and possibly move it to an extension. The current code in SVN is broken (built against geoserver 1.6.x) and needs to be updated and slightly restructured as well. Luckily this means that the maven build setup is aleady in place and I have to only create a test cases. The worldwind.jar in the maven repo should be updated to 0.6 from the current worldwind release.

Let me know if all this makes sense and I can take charge of this module.

Regards,

Tisham(whatnick).

Hi whatnick,

All makes sense, and I can't see any objections to anyone taking it over
and getting it to supported status. If only this could happen more often :)

Hey Tisham, I've been noticing your commits going by - really great work
on this.  I'm psyched to see better support for worldwind.

A couple ideas to take things a bit further, if you're interested.

One thing that would be awesome is to make sure GeoWebCache works with
WorldWind.  It may work as a caching WMS already, but I'd be a bit
surprised.  Another route would be to make a worldwind service for GWC,
like there is for google and bing (see
http://geowebcache.org/docs/1.2.0/services/gmaps.html)  It would output
tiles in the exact format WorldWind expects.  Maybe it's the same as
another output, but even if it is having a named worldwind service would
make it more obvious.

The other idea would be to make a GUI plugin for WW Java.  This could be
similar to istyler -
http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src/community/istyler/ 
Basically a preview page that's a plugin, with WW Java embedded.
Ideally it would pre-populate the layers that are in GeoServer.  This
way people could see how easy it is to get their GeoServer data in to
world wind.

With your output formats and with GWC caching it could make things on
worldwind quite fast.

Keep up the great work, thanks for taking over the module, it's nice to
see progress.  Also, whenever you're ready we'd be happy to put a blog
post up about it.

best regards,

Chris

Hi,

DDS/BIL are always requested in EPSG:4326. I am not sure what is involved in making a service i GWC but the high throughput required by worldwind will definitely benefit from using GWC. I have completed the test cases for the wwformat module and it should be ready to be promoted to an extension, at least I know how to write more tests and make it more robust.

See what you can do about adding it to your system.

Cheers,

what_nick.
