Location Plan

Goal

Location Plan is a web based open source application to prepare and print location plans. These prints are often requested by public authorities for legal purposes.

Modules

Client (web app)

The web application is developed in HTML, CSS and Javascript, taking advantage of the well known libraries ExtJS 6, GeoExt 3 and OpenLayers 3.x.

Server

The server is written in Javascript. node.js is required to run the server code. Several node modules are used.

Print server

The printing capabilities are supported by MapFish Print 3. The printing layout can be designed using Jaspersoft Studio. Jaspersoft Studio is the free, open source, eclipse-based report designer for JasperReports and JasperReports Server.

Deployment on a new instance based on Ubuntu

Test environment

To test the installation process, a virtual machine was used.

login: ubuntu
password: ubuntu
network (bridged): 192.168.1.107
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ubuntu@192.168.1.107

sudo apt-get install tomcat7 tomcat7-admin tomcat7-common
sudo vi /etc/default/tomcat7

Set:

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle"
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx1536m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"

Set user/password:

sudo vi /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml

<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="locationplans2k16" roles="manager,manager-gui,manager-script"/>
</tomcat-users>

sudo service tomcat7 restart

-- Wait until tomcat7 is ready, with:
-- tail -f /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out
-- Wait until the server reports:
-- INFO: Server startup in xxxxx ms

Installing Geoserver

mkdir -p ~/geoserver/data
sudo chown tomcat7:tomcat7 ~/geoserver/data

cd /tmp
wget http://ncu.dl.sourceforge.net/project/geoserver/GeoServer/2.9.0/geoserver-2.9.0-war.zip
unzip geoserver-2.9.0-war.zip
sudo cp geoserver.war /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/

-- Wait until geoserver app is deployed, with:
-- tail -f /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out
-- Wait until the server reports:
-- INFO: Server startup in xxxxx ms

sudo service tomcat7 stop
sudo cp -a /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/geoserver/data ~/geoserver

sudo vi /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/web.xml

	<context-param>
	   <param-name>GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR</param-name>
		<param-value>/home/ubuntu/geoserver/data</param-value>

The default credentials for Geoserver are: admin/geoserver

Disable Tomcat CORS (not necessary for cloud deploy)

sudo vi /etc/tomcat7/web.xml

<filter>
  <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
  <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>

Print test

To make sure that Geoserver and MapFish are running, the following urls should open:

Geoserver
MapFish

To make sure that MapFish is running properly, the following print should be request:

Select in the Print App/Example combo box: verboseExample

Click on Create And Get Print button

(Skip) Customize printing templates

Note: this is not necessary for cloud deploy.

The application prints existing contents (the map, attributes, etc) using a template that defines the output layout. The layout can be edited using Jaspersoft Studio.

Jasper Studio can be installed in two different ways;

cd Transferências
wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/jasperstudio/JaspersoftStudio-6.3.1/TIBCOJaspersoftStudio-6.3.1.final-linux-x86_64.tgz
cd ~/bin
tar xvzf ~/Transferências/TIBCOJaspersoftStudio-6.3.1.final-linux-x86_64.tgz
export SWT_GTK3=0
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0
~/bin/TIBCOJaspersoftStudio-6.3.1.final/runubuntu.sh
