Step 10: geGIS Demo

<- Step 9: Feature Types Step 11: Your own Data ->

You can now make an application with different layers, which draw their data from a postgres database. Return to the geGIS directory (standard under “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\"), more specifically under "gegis\data\ggis\applications\". You will find the zip file "demo.zip" here. Unzip this file under the current directory, so that a “demo” directory is displayed next to the “hello” directory.
That was all! The only thing you need to do now is to restart Tomcat. This is necessary to initialise all the changes that have been made. Simply restart Tomcat and the new “demo” application will be initialised. In order to reach this application, surf to the following URL: http://localhost:8080/gegis/application.do?app=demo (remember the “app=demo” at the end!). Two users are defined in this application, namely the standard guest user (who does not have many rights) as well as the geGIS user who has maximum rights. In order to be able to also make changes to the data in the application, you need to log in with this geGIS user. (login=gegis, password=gegispass)
