deegree3 developer team meeting 2010-03-09
Protocol by: AndreasSchmitz
Attendees: RutgerBezema, MarkusSchneider, LynBüsching, SteffenThomas, AndreiIonita, AndreasSchmitz
1. WPS/WCTS
There is now an implementation of the WCTS which is based on the Inspire WPS application profile for coordinate transformation (aka WCTS). Example requests etc. can be found in the subversion repository.
2. XML CRS transformer
There is now a generic XML geometry transformer which can transform any XML document (containing GML geometry snippets) to another CRS. This can be handy with a lot of GML-derived XML formats/formats which make use of the GML geometry part.
3. Build system/libraries
The subversion repository does not contain the libraries any more. All libs are now contained in an online maven repository (an Artefactory instance) and are downloaded as needed upon compilation. Important changes to the build system include:
- Building services does not automatically build core by default. Rather, the online nightly build artefact of core is downloaded when building
- services.
To get the libraries for local use in a build environment like eclipse, one has to call the fetch-libs targets, and take care to explicitly
- exclude the other deegree libraries (eg. core) as wanted.

4. Subsystems dependencies
The subsystems, mostly common, have been checked for dependencies to libraries, and to each other. The goal is to get a better picture which subsystems are required for specific tasks (on runtime), and to reduce dependencies between the subsystems as much as possible. To automate such checks, ivy is utilized (this could also be used to enforce dependencies on a nightly basis).
5. Exception handling in services
The (OGC) exception handling has been cleaned up. By default, the mime type text/xml is used now, and each service can specify the use of a exception serializer per implemented version.
6. WFS 1.0.0
The WFS 1.0.0 CITE tests pass again, with the exception of the 'complex' tests.
7. Automated CITE testing
The WFS 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 tests are now integrated in JUnit tests. This enables automated nightly CITE testing, and also enables access to the specific failing tests.
8. Automated JUnit testing
All JUnit tests have been integrated into the Hudson nightly build process.
9. 0.4.0
The 0.4.0 'stable' branch has been started. That means that the configuration versions have been bumped to 0.4.0 for this branch.
10. CRS
In trunk, the StAX parser is used instead of the derby CRS database by default. This is faster, and more memory friendly than the derby backend.
11. CSW
The CSW is undergoing some review, and is tested/debugged extensively at the moment. It is now using the generic where builder to generate SQL statements against PostGIS.
12. Security
The security system is under experimental construction. It is currently being implemented to secure a WMS.
