Continuing client interest in GeoServer as WMS/WFS link to Oracle
Integration work continues with a number of clients in the UK regarding the linking of Oracle spatial data to instances of
GeoServer, to provide a scalable and cost-effective WMS/WFS technology demonstrator. This is allowing clients to provide a quickly deployable WMS/WFS instance, as well as an instance that can provide KML data from their Oracle databases.
Combined with the use of the custom SLD files created by Dotted Eyes, the output of OS MasterMap from SuperpOSe via this means remains indistinguishable from that of GIS clients direct-connecting to the database, but with the advantage of requiring no installation of extra client software or add-ons for the desktop user, as well as speeding up access, by reducing the amount of data sent over the network. The same feed can also be used to power multiple applications, e.g. web mapping.
