9 Enabling modules

This section describes how to enable various Oskari functionalities or modules.

9.1 How to enable WFS-T (Content editor)

Tampere Oskari bundle content-editor

Extends Oskari functionality to support editing of wfs layer features and feature geometries.

Available in Oskari 1.36 or above.

9.1.1 Prerequisites

These instructions are based on jetty-8.1.16-oskari package.

9.1.2 Front-end

This bundle needs Oskari version 1.36 or above

9.1.3 Back-end

This functionality needs Oskari version 1.36 or above (oskari-map.war)

Database

Oskari database is needed without any special configuration

9.1.4 Installation

Create base folder i.e. Tampere

mkdir Tampere

Change directory to Tampere

cd Tampere

http://oskari.org/download

Download Oskari (http://oskari.org/build/server/jetty-8.1.16-oskari.zip) and extract archive to current (new created) directory

Goto jetty folder

cd jetty-8.1.16-oskari

9.1.5 Configuration

Add new permission type to oskari-ext.properties in [jetty-home]/resources folder


permission.types = EDIT_LAYER_CONTENT
permission.EDIT_LAYER_CONTENT.name.fi=Muokkaa tasoa
permission.EDIT_LAYER_CONTENT.name.en=Edit layer

Add bundle dynamically to correct roles in oskari-ext.properties. For example:



actionhandler.GetAppSetup.dynamic.bundles = admin-layerselector, admin-layerrights, admin-users, admin, content-editor
actionhandler.GetAppSetup.dynamic.bundle.content-editor.roles = Admin

Enter to jetty directory and run

java -jar start.jar

Use case in Oskari



Find out a WFS-layer where the service supports Transaction operation (WFS-T).
Add 'Edit' permission for that layer in Oskari Layer Rights functionality or through the layer administration UI (Edit permission type requires configuration on oskari-ext.properties to be shown).
Add the layer on the map in Oskari and the 'feature editor' functionality can now be accessed through the geoportals selected layers listing by selecting it from the tools for that layer.

9.1.6 Remarks


Editing is only available for geometry in EPSG:3067 CRS for time being.
Update SRID  to your wfst layer before editing, if it is 0 (default)

**( UPDATE [table] SET =ST_SetSRID([geometry field],3067) )**

WFS layer doesn't work e.g. for MapClick, if there is mixed SRID in the [table].
Mixed Srid could be checked with below sql:
**Select distinct(ST_SRID([geometry field])) as srid, count(*) from [table] group by srid;**

9.1.7 Known issues

Geometry type of geometry-column must be Geometry, MultiPoint, MultiLineString or MultiPolygon in Postgres wfs-t edit table (layer) for time being.

On the other words only MultiPoint, MultiLineString or MultiPolygon geometries are supported in Oskari feature edit (wfs-t).
