Enabling User data store With Postgis

NOTE! This document describes setup with GeoServer. In case you have a different WMS service installed, adjust accordingly.

Assumes pre-installed:

Configuration

Create user data tables to oskaridb database for kmz, shz (shp file set) file import storage

Enable Flyway-module userlayer on oskari-ext.properties:

db.additional.modules=[...], userlayer

Note! Everything below is outdated

But might give you hints what is required for userlayers to work


Add wfs base layer to oskari_maplayer table for userlayer featuredata management

Use pgAdmin or psql to execute below SQL-script file

\content-resources\src\main\resources\sql\PostgreSQL\example-userlayer-wfs-baselayer.sql

Remember layer id of this new inserted layer for properties configuration

Configure default view and bundle config for to add myplacesimport or create new view according to lastest Oskari documentation

\content-resources\src\main\resources\sql\PostgreSQL\add_userlayer_to_default_view.sql

Configure GeoServer

Tested with version 2.4.3

Download, if not GeoServer.

Download, if not WPS extension

  • Download extension of equal version to GeoServer)
  • copy jar files of .zip to {geoserver}\webapps\geoserver\WEB-INF\lib

Use unique port for GeoServer e.g. 8082 (not equal to the Jetty port, where oskari-server is running). If GeoServer is already available take a look at the guidelines below.

Replace GeoServer data directory, add OskariMarkFactory extension and start GeoServer:

  • Replace {geoserver}\data_dir with oskari-server\content-resources\config\geoserver\data
  • Add GeoServer symbolizer extension oskari-server/geoserver-ext/OskariMarkFactory/target/OskariMarkFactory-1.0.jar to {geoserver}\webapps\WEB-INF\lib (see oskari-server\geoserver-ext\OskariMarkFactory\readme.txt)
  • Add WPS Oskari extensions to GeoServer (build modules (mvn clean install) under ..\oskari\oskari-server\geoserver-ext\wps and copy .jar files in target folders to {geoserver}\webapps\geoserver\WEB-INF\lib
  • Start GeoServer (e.g. {geoserver}\bin\startup)
  • Check data configuration with GeoServer admin interface: http://localhost:8082/geoserver/web ( default credentials: admin/geoserver) -> layer preview -> layers: user_layer , user_layer_data_style and vuser_layer_data (these are empty in the initial state) (userdata layers)
  • If there are problems in layer preview, check workspace and store setups with GeoServer admin interface (see guidelines below).
  • Restart GeoServer

Configure properties

Check settings in {jetty}/resources/oskari-ext.properties and uncomment or add the following settings and set them point to your geoserver url:

Test Oskari

Start e.g. http://localhost:2373/oskari-map?uuid={uuid} in your browser. Replace {uuid} with the id of the view you created. Logged in users should be able to import for example shapefiles.

Troubleshooting

* Database operations failed --> look at Jetty (oskari-map.war) log stream  or Postgres log (/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/pg_log/)
* Database permission problems --> edit /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/pg_hba.conf
* Is there password for postgres  --> use psql  / passwd postgres

Guidelines for GeoServer configuration

Open GeoServer admin interface (e.g. http://localhost:8082/geoserver, default credentials: admin/geoserver).

Create a workspace

Skip this, if oskari workspace is already there. Create a new workspace oskari . Set it as default and enable WFS and WMS services. Set namespace URI to e.g. http://www.oskari.org.

Create a store

Add your database as a new postgis store:

  • Store -> Add new Store -> PostGIS Database
  • Select oskari as workspace and name the data source "user_layers"
  • Check it as enabled
  • Set the connection parameters, for example:
    • host: localhost, port: 5432
    • database: oskaridb, schema: public
    • user: username, passwd: password (sample default postgres/postgres)

Add metadata table for primary key

  • Stores -> select user_layers -> insert to Primary key metadata table "gt_pk_metadata_table" -> Save

Create a style

You can create your own style choosing Styles and modifying existing style or uploading a new style file.

You can find an example file \oskari\oskari-server\content-resources\config\geoserver\data\styles\UserLayerDefaultStyle.sld which is used for user data layer rendering / layer: user_layer_data_style.

Add layers

Add layers user_layer , user_layer_data_style and vuser_layer_data

  • Layers -> Add a new resource -> Add layer from "oskari:user_layers"
  • Publish user_layer (no geometry field):
    • Set Declared SRS (e.g. EPSG:3067)
    • Set Native bbox (50000, 6400000, 800000, 8000000)
    • Set Lat/Lon Bounding Box (e.g. press compute from native bounds)
    • Save
  • Publish vuser_layer_data (for WFS and for to fetch feature data) :
    • Set Declared SRS (e.g. EPSG:3067)
    • Set Native bbox (50000, 6400000, 800000, 8000000)
    • Set Lat/Lon Bounding Box (e.g. press compute from native bounds)
    • Publishing -> Set Default Style (e.g. "Polygon")
    • Save
  • Publish user_layer_data_style (view table for rendering user layers (GetMap)):
    • Set Declared SRS (e.g. EPSG:3067)
    • Set Native bbox (50000, 6400000, 800000, 8000000)
    • Set Lat/Lon Bounding Box (e.g. press compute from native bounds)
    • Publishing -> Set Default Style ( "UserLayerDefaultStyle")
    • Save

Add a data security rule for layers

* Add read access to everyone (user_layer, vuser_layer_data_data and user_layer_data_style)

Setup cache (optional)

Select oskari:user_layer_data_style layer -> tile caching setup:

  • Create a cached layer for this layer (use default values)
  • Set gutter size in pixels to 100
