   <Call name="addConnector">
      <Arg>
         <New class="org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
            <Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="jetty.port" default="8080"/></Set>
            <Set name="maxIdleTime">30000</Set>
            <Set name="Acceptors">2</Set>
            <Set name="confidentialPort">8443</Set>
         </New>
      </Arg>
   </Call>
   
   
   
3. Checked environment variables if they were properly set
   
   >set
   ...
   GEOSERVER_HOME=C:\PROGRAMS\GIS\GeoServer 1.7.5
   GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=D:\MAPS\geoserver\data_dir
   ...
   

SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE

1. Create a new reverse proxy pointing to GeoServer port:
   map.host.com -> map.host.com:8080
   (pointing to http://localhost:8080 will not work as this will get translated by GeoServer into http://localhost:80)
2. edit web.xml
   
   <context-param>
   <param-name>PROXY_BASE_URL</param-name>
   <param-value>http://map.host.com</param-value>
   </context-param>
   
   
3. Restart GeoServer
4. Check WFS capability if it returns the correct values
   
   <ows:HTTP>
   <ows:Get
   xlink:href="http://map.host.com:80/geoserver/wfs?"/>
   <ows:Post
   xlink:href="http://map.host.com:80/geoserver/wfs?"/>
   </ows:HTTP>
   

Geoserver 2.1.3

1. Follow step 1 above
2. Enable Reverse Proxy Filter in web.xml
   
   <filter>
     <filter-name>Reverse Proxy Filter</filter-name>
     <filter-class>org.geoserver.filters.ReverseProxyFilter</filter-class>
     <init-param>
       <param-name>enabled</param-name>
       <param-value>true</param-value>

4. Start GeoServer
   
5. Browse to http://localhost if using port 80 or http://localhost:8080 or whatever port that was set

There is an update in the data returned by Google API Geocoder service.

The International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) has published safety ratings for selected roads in Peninsular Malaysia. The maps are published in several PDFs, which is kind of cumbersome if you want to compare between different road user groups. 

It seems that the GDirections service for Malaysia has been enabled back by Google after a one year disappearance. The direction to my office page - created in 2007 before the service was pulled - is now working. Luckily I did not take out that page hoping that the service will come back. Thanks Google.

There is an Interesting article by Sean Gorman on the history of web mapping.

It comes to the time of year again when the rainy season creates havoc to road users. Landslides and floods are common occurrences which can cause lots of detours in our trip plans. The big Johore flood of Dec 2006 - Jan 2007  was a wake up call for better dissemination of information with regard to road closures.

Tried to take a look at Garmin Communicator API if it can easily save waypoints from the web directly into my Garmin MobileXT on the SD card of my Nokia 6110 Navigator. The API can read my data when connected to the phone via bluetooth, but cannot write. I  keep getting this error message:

Invalid type for call to gdx::Device_t GetIntf.
