Whilst this component hasn’t exactly set the internets on fire can I give another shout out for my ‘mavenize‘ tool. This is a command line tool for ‘mavenizing’ java projects. I have found myself using this a fair bit when I am looking to bring older components into a existing maven java project and it [...]

Some of you may have come to this site from my UK road traffic site gTraffic.info. You will have noticed that there is no longer any traffic incidents available. This is because the TPEG feed which was the source of incident data has been cut by the BBC. I am fairly philosophical about this. It [...]

Javier De La Torre has some really impressive examples of using a GeoServer WMS feed to generate overlays for Flash Google Maps.

I occasionally have a look at my GWT traffic mashup to make sure it’s still working. I was looking at it again tonight and was struck by how many good ideas it seems to have. Good ideas that no one else seems to have bothered to pick up on. As an example take a look [...]

Here is another UMap WMS Provider demo This is the Glasgow traffic data from here and applied to a WMS feed from here. This uses the UMap component from AFComponents. Right-click to view the source. The WMS feed is defined in the ‘DataModel.as’ class. public static var WMS_TILE_URL:String = “http://www2.demis.nl/wms/wms.ashx”; public static var WMS_TILE_LAYERS:String = [...]
