GeoStyler GeoServer extension

This extension integrates the GeoStyler UI into the GeoServer styles tab.

Installation 🥳

To install the extension to your GeoServer just proceed as follows:

1. Download the matching jar from this Nexus repository.
2. Copy the jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory of your GeoServer installation.
3. Restart GeoServer

How to find the matching jar? [click to show/hide]

• The link will lead you to the list of all published artefacts of the plugin, organized in a directory structure
• below org/geoserver/community/gs-geostyler you will find packages for several versions of GeoStyler, e.g. 1.2.0, 1.2.1 or 1.2.2
• Choose the highest version, e.g. 1.2.2, and click on the version. A subfolder will be shown
• You will need to download a version that is compatible to your GeoServer version, e.g. 2.22.2
• The jars are named according to the following scheme: gs-geostyler-[[GeoStyler-version]]-[[GeoServer-version]].jar
• So for the example versions above, the matching jar would be gs-geostyler-1.2.2-2.22.2.jar, since the needed [[GeoStyler-version]] is 1.2.2 and the target [[GeoServer-version]] is 2.22.2

Development 🏗️

Basically the plugin just includes the JavaScript resources of the GeoStyler into a Wicket page which in turn will be rendered by the GeoServer. The lib files aren't part of the repository and need to be packed into the plugin during build. To build the plugin (including the JS sources), just execute:

mvn clean package

This will create a gs-geostyler-<VERSION>-<GEOSERVER_VERSION>.jar file inside the target directory which can be copied to the GeoServer's lib directory. For testing purposes this repository contains a dockerized GeoServer:

1. Copy the freshly created jar into the lib directory:

cp ./target/gs-geostyler-<VERSION>.jar ./docker/geoserver/additional_libs

2. Run GeoServer:

docker-compose up --build --force-recreate --remove-orphans

Release 📰

Uses the @terrestris/maven-semantic-release plugin to create new releases automatically.
