WPS

The WPS module adds support to uDig for Web Processing Services (WPS) in the catalog, and also provides a new view with a GUI for executing processes. For more information about creating your own processes and WPS servers, check out the following links:

Using the WPS Plugin

The first step is to install the WPS plugin with uDig (see Installation instructions below). Once you have the plugin running in uDig, use the following guide:

Installation

Please note this module currently only works on uDig 1.2 trunk, the following are the instructions to build the WPS client module as a developer.

  1. Check out a uDig development environment as shown here:
    02 Development Environment
    These instructions produce a checkout of uDig trunk in the following location:
    C:\java\udig\trunk
  2. After successfully setting up Eclipse with uDig for development, check out the WPS community module to a new wps folder:

    C:\java\udig\trunk> cd ..
    C:\java\udig> svn co http://svn.refractions.net/udig/udig/community/wps/ wps

    This will create the following directory:
    C:\java\udig\wps

  3. Return to your eclipse development environment and import the the net.refractions.udig.wps plugin and net.refractions.udig.wps-feature into your workspace.
    (you can revisit the Importing the Source Code page for a reminder of how to do this)
  4. Open up the net.refractions.udig.wps wps.product
  5. Change to the Configuration tab.
  6. Remove the org.eclipse.rcp feature from the list
  7. Press the Add button and add the org.eclipse.rcp feature back in
    (We need to do this to account for any slight discrepancy between the version numbers on your machine and the one used by the last developer to commit).
  8. Change to the Overview tab
  9. Click on Synchronize.
  10. Click on Launch an Eclipse application to run the WPS Client application.
  11. For instructions on how to use the client, view the sections above.

You may also include WPS support in your own product.
