string

yes

Unique identifier

dbtype

'postgis'

yes

The name of the driver to use, in this case PostGIS

host

string

yes

The hostname or ip address of the server

port

number

yes

The port number that the instance is running on

database

string

yes

The database to connected to

schema

string

no

The default schema to connected to, default is 'public'

user

string

no

The userid used when connecting to the database

passwd

string

no

The password used when connecting to the database

minconnections

integer

no

The minimum number of connections to open to the database

maxconnections

integer

no

The maximum number of connections to open to the database

validateconnections

boolean

no

Should database connections be checked on each access to see if they're still valid

namespace

string

no

The namespace prefix

wkbenabled

boolean

no

Should Well Known Binary be used to read MqSQL data (experimental)

loosebox

boolean

no

If set to 'true' if the Bounding Box should be 'loose', faster but not as deadly accurate

estimatedextent

boolean

no

set to true if the bounds for a table should be computed using the 'estimated_extent' function, but beware that this function is less accurate, and in some cases * far* less accurate if the data within the actual bounds does not follow a uniform distribution. It also relies on the fact that you have accurate table stats available. So it is a good idea to 'VACUUM ANALYZE' the postgis table

Primary Key Table

For specifying primary key columns when Weave/GeoTools can not determine it directly

...

Column

Description

table_schema

Name of the database schema in which the table is located.

table_name

Name of the table to be published

pk_column

Name of a column used to form the feature IDs

pk_column_idx

Index of the column in a multi-column key. In case multi column keys are needed multiple records with the same table schema and table name will be used.

pk_policy

The new value generation policy, used in case a new feature needs to be added in the table ('assigned', 'sequence' or 'autogenerated').

pk_sequence

The name of the database sequence to be used when generating a new value for the pk_column.

Examples

...

Using primary key metadata configuration

You can also specify the above information directly in the spatial engin configuration.

Name

Description

name
The table name
schema
The optional table schema
columnThe column in the the table that contains the unique id
policyHow the key is generated
sequenceThe name of the database sequence to use if the policy is 'sequence'

Using geometry metadata configuration

As of Weave 2.5.16 it's possible to specify the information contained in the geometry metadata table directly in the spatial engine configuration.
