Web UI for ENDDaT

EnDDaT is a tool used to discover data from our natural environment. This tool accesses data from a variety of data sources, compiles and processes the data, and performs common transformations. The end result is that environmental data from multiple sources is sorted into a single table. See the user guide for step-by-step instructions on obtaining data, specifying transforms, and processing data.

This project has been built and deployed using maven ?, java ? and tomcat ?. To build the war execute the following command in the directory where you cloned the repository.

mvn clean package

This will produce a .war file in the target directory. You can deploy this war file to tomcat like any other war.

The project requires the following JNDI variables in the context.xml. Example values are given.

<Environment name="enddat.gdp-process-url" type="java.lang.String" value="http://vm_name:8080/gdp-process-wps/" override="true"/> 
<Environment name="enddat.service-url" type="java.lang.String" value="http://vm_name:8080/enddat-services/" override="true"/> 
<Environment name="enddat.geoserver-url" type="java.lang.String" value="http://vm_name:8080/beaches-geoserver/" override="true"/> 

• Select a project location.
• Set bounding box for the project that indicates area used to discover data.
• Choose data sources to discover data for the bounding area.
• Upload a shapefile for radar-indicated rain data (optional).
• Choose data sources to retrieve available data for bounding area.
• Set time range and filter options for data to be retrieved.
• Determine beach orientation (optional).
• Select data to download and set transformation options.
• Download data directly with URL saved from previous inquiry (optional).

These services are part of enddat_web project and are called by the Javascript client. These services are all proxy services except for the Date Service.

http://<URL to Application>/service/*

• use: To get the data after the project and data sources are selected and transformations are specified. This makes a call to the loosely coupled enddat-services, which parses the parameters and builds another service call(s) to an external service provider(s).

These are services external to enddat_web and enddat-services that are called to get data about a project area, as well as, data for the selected project. These services are listed under the “proxy url” label within the “enddat_web Web Services” section.

Additionally, ArcGIS is called to get map tiles.
