the geoweb, interoperability, OGC, and random rants
November 2nd, 2009

At FOSS4G 2009 I finally went to a code sprint, partly as a form of meditation, and partly to see if I had any developer chops left. Well the jury is still out on that, but it was relaxing, and what came out of it was the first release of SimpleWFS.

SimpleWFS is a 100% Java servlet that serves any data in PostGIS via the WFS Simple API. Output formats supported are BXFS and KML, among others (GML and Atom coming soon). My hope is that SimpleWFS can be up and running in under a half hour, exponentially increasing the ease of getting more spatial data on the web.

Please try it out and help improve it.
