GeoServer Connector installation
Here follow the steps to install the GeoServer Connector (version 0.1.0) in SmartGear:
1. download the 'gcube-geoserver-connector' source code from gCube repository (https://svn.research-infrastructures.eu/d4science/gcube/trunk/data-access/gcube-geoserver-connector/)
2. compile the code using the pom.xml file to generate the JAR file (gcube-geoserver-connector-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar). To compile please use maven 3 and JDK 8.
3. add gcube-geoserver-connector-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar file in to /home/gcube/tomcat/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib folder of GeoServer Virtual Machine. To access on GeoServer VM you need of the keypair, the host (geoserver1-spatial-dev.d4science.org) and the user (gcube)
4. add GeoServerFilter filter in the web.xml (/home/gcube/tomcat/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF) of GeoServer VM as follow:
<filter> <filter-name>gcubeAuthenticationFilter</filter-name> <filter-class>org.gcube.data.access.connector.GeoServerFilter</filter-class> </filter>
<filter-mapping> <filter-name>gcubeAuthenticationFilter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping>
5. edit the /home/gcube/tomcat/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/gcube-handlers.xml file to add the request handler as authentication-filter tag inside the request tag
<handlers> <lifecycle> <profile-management />
</lifecycle>
<request> <request-validation /> <request-accounting /> <authentication-filter /> </request> </handlers>
Please note that you need to edit steps 4 and 5 only the first time. If you change the source code you can jump these.
6. restart the service. In /home/gcube folder stop and start the server with these commands:
./stopContainer.sh ./startContainer.sh
To see the log, you can open the /srv/geoserver_spatialite/data/logs/geoserver.log file
