geoserver-wps-archetype

A Maven archetype for implementing custom WPS-processes for GeoServer (see http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/developer/programming-guide/wps-services/index.html).

Quickstart

Checkout the archetype:

git clone https://github.com/marcjansen/geoserver-wps-archetype.git

Enter the archetype directory:

cd geoserver-wps-archetype/archetype/

Install the archetype to your local maven repository:

mvn install

Enter your workspace directory:

cd {YOUR_WORKSPACE_DIR}

Use the archetype to create your WPS project in interactive mode:

mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=de.terrestris.geoserver.wps \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=geoserver-wps-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=0.1-SNAPSHOT

You will have to enter a groupId, artifactId, version and a (Java-)package for your Maven-Geoserver-WPS-project. You also have to provide a geoserver-version, geotools-version and wps-project-name that will also be used in pom.xml of the WPS project you are about to create.

Confirm your configuration with Y.

If you want to speed up this process, use something like this:

mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=de.terrestris.geoserver.wps \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=geoserver-wps-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=0.1-SNAPSHOT \
-DgroupId=de.terrestris.geoserver.wps \
-DartifactId=wps-examples \
-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
-Dpackage=de.terrestris.geoserver.wps.example \
-Dgeoserver-version=2.6.2 \
-Dgeotools-version=12.2 \
-Dwps-project-name=Some\ WPS\ Project

Now enter the directory of the WPS project (which will have the name of the artifactId that was used in the step before):

cd wps-examples

Adapt the code for your needs and then build a JAR-File of your WPS:

mvn package

In the target/-subfolder you will find the JAR-File that has to be deployed in the WEB-INF/lib/ folder of your GeoServer.

Good luck!
