Malta

About

Malta is a Javascript web client to explore a database of extreme weather events interactively. It supports a map view and a table view of the data and relies completely on a OGC Web Features Service (WFS) to access the data. It relies heavily on GeoExt and ExtJS.

Currently, no live demo is available as the dataset is not publically available yet. Please contact us directly if you want to find out more! Thanks!

Features

  • WFS data backend (tested with Geoserver)
  • WMS for ancialliary data
  • User friendly data exploration
    • adapted feature selection menu
    • interactive time line
    • layer menu
    • table view with interactive filtering and sorting
  • Statistics view for selected events
  • Report generation (PDF) for single events

Malta is available as a .zip file for deployments in a content management system and as a .war file for depoyment in a servlet container such as Tomcat.

Releases/Changelog

Development

Malta is packaged as a web application that can be build with Maven. Maven ( mvn package) creates a web archive file ( ../target/malta-v.v.v.war), but it also runs if you just copy and paste the files from the archive file for deployment ( ../target/malta-v.v.v-cms-deploy.zip) in content management systems (CMS).

Sources

Malta is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/52North/Malta

Customization

Based on the Maven build process, you can easily replace specific files.
  1. Create a folder, the "customization directory", following the Malta project layout with all the files that must be replaced, e.g. <my custom dir>/EE/report.js if you want to use your own Javascript to create reports. The build process currently supports .js, .jpg and .html files (see pom.xml).
  2. Build the project using mvn clean package and activate the profile customize with the parameter customizationDir. The latter must contain the full path to your customization directory as its value. Open the command line in the project directory (where the pom.xml is located) or set-up a custom Run Configuration in Eclipse. The full command should look like this: mvn clean package -Pcustomize -DcustomizationDir=<my path to>\<my custom dir>.
    Maven will create files and folder named malta-custom-<version>(.war, .zip).
    • Optionally, you can give your customization an additional name by using the paramter malta.profile.flag: mvn clean package -Pcustomize -DcustomizationDir=<my path to>\<my custom dir> -Dmalta.profile.flag=myFlag.
      In this case "myFlag" replaces the "custom" part of the filename. This is great to keep clear which customization you just built.
