Data is combining, now to get it caching.

The data is now combining in the data model... and it seems to be doing it correctly.

Now, I am hoping to get a majority of it caching... and instead of trying to write my own caching, I am going to use a caching mechanism suggested by Chris: OSCache from the OpenSymphony project.

It seems to have generic back-end caching with configurable levels of intelligence and persistence (which is all I really needed)... but it also has the most potential for helping on the front end (like request caching: if a request looks like the exact same request that was sent a minute ago, it will return the exact same HTML that was sent back rather than hitting the server) It also allows for better and more fine-grained error handling.

After that, it's some UI clean up, some javascript niftiness, and testing to see if GridViewer will run in the same area as an AMDS service.

New time series handling.

I have adjusted the time series handling of gmap-polygon and grid-viewer so that regional collections hold multiple time series lists (differentiated by server).

Right now, it seems that it is building, but when you open the flot plot, all the data is somehow being tagged with one date, and it is not immediately apparent where or how that data is being set like that. I think I might have run into this problem before and it might have to do with how Java Calendars increments... I hope to figure it out later today or tomorrow.

Otherwise, after that is finished tomorrow, I will implement the new caching structure we discussed with Brian, and start publishing arrays so that the drop-downs for indicators and classifiers can be dynamically populated (as discussed with Chris).

After that, I am going to start allowing for multiple polygon loading... thus you can do one search, then another, and click and compare graphs. I might also look into making histograms in addition to line charts (that way, one can see the different data brought back by the different servers)

more services on gridviewer

There are now some more services on Grid-Viewer, and there are some visual tweaks.

Unfortunately, the data from multiple servers is not combining because of some back-end restrictions that I am going to work on next week, some additional refactors include separating polygons from pinpoints (thus, coastal states won't have really dark shadows (the result of multiple pinpoints being drawn in the same spot)), and storing data from multiple states in the markers (thus, flotplots should be able to distinguish which data came from which service in future versions).

Also, caching (with the help of Brian), fun Javascript and layout changes (with the help of Chris), and new multi-plotting and regional overlays.

Cheers everyone, have a good weekend!

So, Poicondai is out there and pretty.

I have been making several modifications to the Poicondai-Web demonstration.

You could go to the service registry of the PH-Grid wiki to find the link, but I am going to go ahead and post it here:

http://ncphi.phgrid.net:8080/poicondai-web/

Please go ahead and poke it, and especially the poicondaiMap.jsp page. Any searches you do will help build the cache and improve the responsiveness.

Also, please email me any bugs you may find, so that I might start thwacking accordingly.

Cheers!
