Ok, so we spent the last two posts talking about geoserver, why we chose it, and some general information about geoserver and it’s architecture. Now let me talk about the geoserverizing of our mapping service.

Let me first tell you a story. In a place far far away, couple of million minutes ago, in the year AD 2001, a great entity , well a startup agency actually, called TOPP was looking into designing tools to make democracy and government more transparent, and with a flash came … .Geo server.

Over the past few weeks I have been working on moving our GIS mapping solution into geoserver, a popular open source WMS/AFS server. We have been using a custom built WMS/WFS server that grossly neglected everything that the WMS specs talks about. I mean, I’m talking willfull disobedience of everything the WMS spec was talking about. It was so tightly coupled with our application that when circumstance arose for us to use the same server for another application, we just fell flat on our face. That prompted us (of course with a little monetary support from our customer) to decide to shift to geoserver, which was a major re-architecture of the way we were doing GIS.

I have been working for quite some time on a Proof of Concept for our GIS web mapping application. Currently our system has a basemap that has been superbly crafted by a good group of GIS engineers, we even have maps that are hill shaded, sounds cool dont it? Trust me it’s cooler than it sounds. Plus we render it using our custom WMS/WFS server with a Mapbuilder / OpenLayers client.

I came across an interesting problem when working on an interesting feature for our web mapping application. Let me first give you a very brief background about our application. Our web mapping setup uses Mapbuilder/OpenLayers as the client side Javascript API, A custom WMS/WFS server, geowebcache as our caching intermediary and PostGIS/PostGRES as our geospatial database. Every web mapping software will have a set of layers that are rendered. Every web mapping software will also have a basemap which defines the projection and bounding box for the model.
