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
