[TinyOWS-dev] FIX - TinyOWS and encoding

[Carlos Ruiz]

Hi Olivier,

First of all, I'm glad to be considered by you to work in this project.

I used the SVN versión and I've attached the diff.txt file to show you the 
result of svn diff as you
requested.

My first idea was to enable the encoding attribute at the layer's configuration 
section within config.xml,
knowing that could be worthy to specify the encoding of each layer, but finally 
I decided to keep it 

simple and handle the encoding per service.

But yes, it's possible to add the capability of define the encoding per layer, 
keeping the fix I've done. 


Thisbecause if the layer encoding hasn't been defined, TinyOWS can take the 
root's encoding definition, 

whichis UTF-8 if it is not defined either.

What do you think ?

I'm looking to stay in another country's university, to take some credits (one 
semester), I don't know if 

it'spossible to work in a company while being there, but I'm not sure if there's 
no problem.

This is some of the institutes and universities in France, which has an 
agreement with the Universidad 

de Guadalajara:

INSTITUT DES SCIENCES ET TECHNOLOGIES PARIS
INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY - PARISTECH
INSTITUT NATIONAL DES SCIENCES APLIQUES DE TOULOUSE (INSA)
INSTITUT NATIONAL DES TELECOMMUNICATIONS
INSTITUT NATIONAL POLYTECHINQUE DE TOULOUSE

UNIVERSIDAD LUMIERE LYON 2
UNIVERSIDAD MONTPELLIER 2
UNIVERSITÉ BLAISE PASCAL
UNIVERSITÉ CERGY-PONTOISE
UNIVERSITÉ CLAUDE BERNARD LYON 1
UNIVERSITÉ D’AUVERGNE CLERMONT FERRAND
UNIVERSITÉ DE RENNES 1
UNIVERSITÉ PARIS IV – SORBONNE
UNIVERSITÉ PARIS NORD XIII
UNIVERSITÉ PARIS X – NANTERRE
UNIVERSITÉ PARIS XII VAL DE MARNE

Do you have some recomendation ? I'm aiming to europe.

No, I have no plans to go to OSGeo Code Sprint in Montreal in March, because my 
master degree, 

sorry, but I'd like to.

And as you can see, I'm sending this to the list too ;-)

Cheers from México

IC Carlos Ruiz

Ok,

Ok do you think, it's also easy to have specific encoding on layers level in a 
future version/patch ?
I guess that for several uses cases, having the ability to handle heterogenous 
datas is a plus.

Thanks a lot for this work !

First question, which version of TinyOWS did you take as a starting point, the 
SVN one ?
If yes could you provide the result from following command in TinyOWS SVN root 
tree:

svn diff


And yes the aim is to be able to commit it for the next version !
Don't hesitate to use tinyows-dev list for this (it shows good example to follow 
for others) :)

Sure i am :)
Help is really welcome !

Does it means that you're looking for a company for few month,
related to the practical part of this degree ?

Nice projects, and with technologies that we promoted also ! :)

Cheers from France !


P.S: Are you aware about OSGeo Code Sprint in Montreal in March ?
