mapfish: can't query POI

[hamish]

Hi,

trying 7.9rc2, select mapfish start from the menus, launches tomcat (seems ok) then opens a web page (also seems ok).

so far so good.

on the OpenLayers canvas click the info button at the top, then on a yellow food POI. Nothing.

In firefox if you open Tools -> Web dev -> Web Console and click on a POI again you see an error in the web console:

GET http://localhost/mapfishsample/osgeolive/wsgi/pois
  [HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error 31ms]

creating a new POI and printing seems to work. The 'Search' button gives the same error as the 'info' button.

Hamish, this functionality was broken since we moved to postgis 2.0 a couple of releases back. Back then we managed to get the application to run and the printing module to produce an output map, but we never took the time to fix every detail of the demo application.

As far as I know, only the printing module is actively developed, since pylons efforts moved to pyramid framework some time ago.

I would like to hear from the Mapfish development team about this, perhaps we should include something different as a demo, perhaps a Papyrus application? ​http://papyrus.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

MapFish retired...
