Re: [udig-devel] Worldmage export from Map : Missing Catalog entries aft

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

The code base is the same so our environment must be different. When we get that fix from moovida I will upload a release and we can both test.

And yes I tag when a release makes it through QA

Could you confirm that this was a feature of uDIG in prior releases? If so could anybody test on other OS that Mac OSX to crosscheck the behavior?

Yes it was. 

After that I tried to import the - in this case png file with prj file - but "Add data wizard" also failed. It wasn't possible to finish after I've selected the file. 

Opinions?

Yep this is an area where the community was asked to test last August. A lot of work was done to the code around adding services to the catalog, in part because we were leaking resources (we really noticed when leaking PostGIS DataStores and their connection pool!).

The code that has changed is around the use of:

- CatalogImpl.acquire( params, monitor )

- CatalogImpl.acquire( url, monitor )

Previously a lot of code was using ServiceFactory directly, and then not  always "disposing" of any "trial" DataStores used to confirm the connection params functioned.

Now I just tried this myself (on a mac, running from eclipse, in the debugger) and while I find the wizard a little awkward to use (does not let me set the file name of my export) it did work.

- image added to the catalog

- adding the image to a new map displays correctly (as shown below)

Interesting. What happened between the last 1.4.0 build (downloadable from here : http://udig.refractions.net/download/unstable/) and the current "SNAPSHOT" build from within the IDE? Unfortunately its not possible to compare the current master branch with an tag. Jody, do you know which commit ID has been used to build 1.4.0? 

Knowing this, I would like suggest to add additional "release procedure" pages in the developer guide, like creating TAGS for releases, maybe a simple branching model for releases or (Eclipse) platform upgrades. In general it would be great to have such short-cuts in GIT to compare between releases (different branches and TAGS).

BTW: I tested on 64bit mac OSX and windows 7 also and it was not possible to get it exported, always the error mentioned in UDIG-1968. I run pom-libs update right before opening IDE and testing. Can you confirm that you're using geotools 9.0-M0? Just try to run a fresh IDE workspace and test again in debugging session. I'm going to share the test results later...
