To deploy a web service in the GeoServer environment, log in to the Web Administration Interface for the GeoServer instance you will be using to deploy your data as a web service.
The Web Administration Interface is a browser-based tool for administering the server software remotely. It isn't possible to cover all possible set ups here.įurther pre-requisites required only for particular service types are described under the appropriate section.
For example, you may already have your data in a different database system such as Oracle Spatial rather than PostGIS. You may have conditions specific to your site which make particular versions preferable. There are a lot of different versions and all these software packages are continuously updated. If you use one of the GeoServer packages that include Jetty then you won't need to install a servlet container separately. The software required includes Java, a Java servlet container such as Apache Tomcat, and GeoServer itself. To test setting up a service using the example in this guide a modern PC with Intel Core or equivalent processor and 4Gb RAM should certainly be adequate and you can probably get away with less. It is out of the scope of this document to give advice on these issues but you can find some assistance from the GeoServer web site and mailing list. Estimating the level of hardware resources required to support a responsive service is a complex task depending on the amount of your data, its complexity and the demand that will be placed on your service by users.
To set up production services you will need server equipment to run GeoServer. The reader is able to install software on their machine and can follow the appropriate installation instructions for GeoServer documented on the GeoServer website.The reader has some familiarity with setting up web servers and preferably Java servlet containers.The reader is, or is working closely with, an expert in the geological data to be served.The guidance is technical and some assumptions are made about the reader's background knowledge: Metadata to be used in configuring your service and coverages (layers).The Publishing tab of the Edit Layer page.Using GeoServer to provide OneGeology web services.
