« Previous Version 20 Next »

This has been tested with Weave versions 2.4.10.22, 2.4.20 and 2.4.22.

The following .zip file contains the upload bundles that need to be extracted and started using the usual bundle installation procedure.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6745119/upload_310_20130731.zip

The version 3.x upload update also requires at least version 1.6.0 of the com.cohga.server.user.core bundle.
That version can be downloaded from https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6745119/plugins/com.cohga.server.user.core_1.6.0.jar if you do not have a newer version already installed (it was included in Weave 2.4.23).

Note: The following update provides 3 enhancements from the previous version, but requires at least Weave 2.4.14 to run.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6745119/upload_311_20130807.zip
The enhancements are:

  • i18n support for CSV labels.
  • Support for setting text for "Column", by specifying "columnLabel" in csv properties.
  • Use of "projection" rather than "entry" to define individual projections in the projections list.

Changes from older version

  • No dummy map engine required.
    • This version does not require that you create a dummy "mapengine.upload" map engine, and if you have one it should be removed.
    • The map engine is created and registered automatically.
    • The client does not need to reference the "mapengine.upload" map engine.
      • If the client doesn't reference the "mapengine.upload" map engine it will automatically added on top of the map, which may obscure selections and redlines, so you may want to add the "mapengine.upload" map engine anyway.
  • Layer name automatically generated.
    • The name of the layer to include in the table of contents is generated based on information in the uploaded file or the base filename.
  • Multiple file upload.
    • On browsers that support it, basically anything except Internet Explorer, you can select multiple files to be uploaded at once, using the Control and Shift keys which choosing files in the file selector dialog box.
  • .kml improvements.
    • .kml files compressed in a .kmz file are now supported.
    • Improved style support for .kml files.
      • Polygon, line and point (including graphic markers) styles embedded in the .kml file are now used.
      • Point markers that reference external graphics that are hosted on third party web sites will require that the Weave server has internet access to download the images.
      • Graphic markers embedded in .kmz file and referenced from point styles in the .kml file are now supported.
  • .csv improvements.
    • .prj file support.
      • If you also upload a .prj file the projection of the data will be based on the projection information in the .prj file, so you don't have to choose the projection from a list.
    • .sld file support.
      • If you also upload a .sld file the rendering of the data will be based on the style layer description contained in the .sld file.
      • The .sld file can reference attributes contained in the .csv file.
  • .shp improvements.
    • .prj file support.
      • If you also upload a .prj file the projection of the data will be based on the projection information in the .prj file, so you don't have to choose the projection from a list.
    • .sld file support.
      • If you also upload a .sld file the rendering of the data will be based on the style layer description contained in the .sld file.
      • This requires that a .shx and .dbf file are also uploaded if the style contains references to feature attributes.
  • Style improvements.
    • The user has more control over the style that uploaded data is drawn.
      • If the uploaded data does not contain a .sld file, or does not have any embedded style information, then the user is asked to provide suitable fill/stroke/marker information, not just a single colour.
  • Simplified configuration.
    • No configuration of upload parameters is required.
    • You can provide configuration of upload parameters to change the projections available to the user.
    • You no longer can configure the colours or markers.
  • .gml not currently supported.
    • The existing gml implementation has not been migrated to the new version.

The namespace for the upload parameters is urn:com.cohga.spatial.upload#1.0, so the following should be added to the list of namespaces at the top of the config file:
xmlns:upload="urn:com.cohga.spatial.upload#1.0"

Upload parameters, containing all the available options and their default values, if you don't create an upload:parameters configuration item this is what you'll get
<upload:parameters>
	<cleaning maximumFileAgeInHours="96" checkDelayInHours="6" />
	<projections label="Projection"/>
	<csv xlabel="X Field Column" ylabel="Y Field Column"/>
	<drawing timeout="60"/>
</upload:parameters>

The actual default for maxFileCount is 1, but you should probably set it to 5.
