Expected refactoring, performed during the FOSS4G code sprint |
This page represents the current plan; for discussion please check the tracker link above.
Description
We are tired of working with flat features:
- The GeoAPI project finally has a feature interface available that meets our needs
- org.opengis.feature.simple.SimpleFeature matches our current expectations - we can do a search and replace in order to switch over
- All code should be changed over to Use SimpleFeatureBuilder before this work proceeds
Status
|
This proposal was part of the FOSS4G code sprint; it was mostly approved as part |
dynamictasklist: task list macros declared inside wiki-markup macros are not supported |

The Strict Plan
We want to prevent a repeat of what happened with Filter, this plan breaks early and breaks often - and then relaxes things for client code right before we ship.
Use SimpleFeatureBuilder- Make org.geotools.feature.FeatureImpl implement SimpleFeature
- Move org.geotools.feature.Feature to legacy and deprecate
- Add any methods needed to DefaultFeature
- Change imports and API as required in geotools modules
- Test like mad
- Confirm uDig and GeoServer are happy and can build
- Confirm uDig and GeoServer are just using SimpleFeature
- Update documentation where needed (most of the documentation was created w/ this in mind)
- Feature Model Guide Code Example Page used during code sprint
- Release milestone release 2.5-M2)
- Revise based on experience (change to getDescriptor() and getId() )
- Release 2.5-RC0
