Term Details

All of the configuration is done using python dictionaries and lists. The syntax is simple, This is a list:

   ['loc_code', 'lat', 'lon']

and this is a dictionary:

   {'key1':'value1', 'key2': 'value2' }

The test provider point is an example how to configure this service to use a SQL database to serve point data.

The data for the demonstration is stored for into sqlite, which is distributed with python by default. The project has following files:

  • pntdata.py: This script creates the test database and fills it with dummy data.
  • pntdata.db: The sqlite database file created by pntdata.py
  • point_config.py:
    • Declares the location table in the SQL database.
    • Mapping the coverages and fields to SQL tables.
  • point_WCS.py is the custom WCS handler
  • point_WFS.py is the custom WFS handler that delivers the location table.
