Chapter 3 - Configuring the Servlet for the Web Feature Service (WFS)
configuration file. You identify each source of data by stating its
location and format using a “Source” element.
The following is an example of a wfs_data_sources.xml file
containing the various methods for adding data sources to the WFS:
demo
*.pix
*.tif
The first data source declared in the file is:
demo
When the “Source” element does not contain an attribute, it defaults
to the “base” attribute with a relative path to \webapps\wfs in the
folder where Tomcat is installed. The “Filter” element is used only
with the “base” attribute. It identifies the files that you will make
available on the WFS. The “Filter” element always uses the “type”
attribute and it is always set to “file”. In the example, the “Filter”
element is set to “demo”, which indicates the demo folder in
\webapps\wfs in the folder where Tomcat is installed.
You can add an absolute path to another folder. In the following
example, you use the “base” attribute to indicate the path to a folder
named demo1. Using this method, all the files in the demo1 folder
are made available on the WFS.
You can limit which files are available on the WFS by using the
“Filter” element. You can use the “Filter” element several times
within one “Source” element. In the following example, only the
PCIDSK files (.pix) and TIFF files (.tif) are made available on the
WFS.
*.pix
*.tif
WFS Troubleshooting Checklist
If the WFS is not functioning properly, one of the settings or
parameters may be set incorrectly. To troubleshoot the installation
and configuration, double-check using the following list:
Step Check
1. Install Geomatica.
