MapFish Print Module [Was: [OpenLayers-Users] GML, Point and Change the Size of the Circle...]

[Eric Lemoine-3]

Hi.

(CC: users@... as it may be of general interest)

It is called the MapFish Print Module :). It is Java code. It can run
in a JEE container (Tomcat) or as a command line.

For our projects relying on MapFish Server Framework (Pylons/Python),
we have a Pylons controller that's responsible for launching the print
command line and passing it the print request. This isn't as good in
terms of performance as using Tomcat (because a JVM instance is
launched on every print request), but it does the work when the
incoming print request rate isn't too high.

At this point the Print Module is in trunk only (it'll go in the next
release obviously). If you plan to set it search the wiki, there's
some documentation. In addition check out the README file in the
source code, it includes informative materials.

See <http://demo.mapfish.org/mapfishsample/trunk/print/print.html> for
a live example.
