Which web mapping framework to use ?
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 by Cédric MoulletThe WhereGroup has just published a newsletter containing interesting information about OpenLayers, MapBender and MapFish. As you probably don’t read german, I’ll try to summarize a bit this document in order to highlights some points. My goal is not to say “this is good”, “this is bad”, but more to clarify the famous question “Which framework do I have to use for my web mapping application ?”
Here are some highlights:
- MapFish server can be characterized as a pure Web 2.0 development framework using REST technology. WhereGroup mentions its high code quality.
- In order to create RIA, MapFish is based on ExtJS / GeoExt / OpenLayers. Mapbender targets to use JQuery / JQuery UI / OpenLayers. I wish good luck to the team for the creation of the promising GeoJQuery library.
- MapBender, like MapGuide for example, can be seen as a product. MapFish is more a development framework used for the creation of web mapping products.
- On the security level, MapBender proposes nice tool for the user management. I have to say that we developped by Camptocamp a nice integrated Security Proxy Server in Java (based on Spring Security Framework / CAS). We’ll need some discussion in the MapFish community to evaluate how can this be part of MapFish Framework.
- MapBender has a also nice administration tools. On the MapFish side, Studio is supposed to offer an administration solution.

OERPScenario, the test suite for OpenERP
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 by Joël Grand-GuillaumeHi!
On February 12, 2010, at the last IRC meeting between OpenERP SA and the Official Partners, OERPScenario has been accepted as the Official test suite for the version 5.0 of OpenERP. Camptocamp is very proud of this milestone since our team has spent a lot of energy in the development of this project, allowing OpenERP to become more stable and more reliable.
In order to scale up this project, we recently improved the usage and ease of the test launching by reviewing the tags.
We are also currently working to implement OERPScenario into the continuous integration server of OpenERP : http://test.openobject.com/ . This will guarantee the use of the test suite in the development process, the resulting tests being run before every release.
Your contributions are essential to help us write scenarios ; for this purpose, we created a documentation. This documentation concerns both technical and business individuals and will be soon included in the http://doc.openerp.com website. For now, you can have access to it by downloading the following pdf : http://dev.camptocamp.com/files/OERPScenario/documentation.pdf
Business individuals can easily write scenarios description using the Gherkin Syntax as explained into the documentation. Feel free to add your own as a blueprint on Launchpad :
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oerpscenario
Camptocamp will write them all as soon as possible, but developers are welcome to help us 
Feel free to ask your questions in the OERPScenario’s FAQ (https://answers.launchpad.net/oerpscenario ), we’ll be happy to help you understand, use and contribute to OERPScenario.
Best regards,
Joël Grand-Guillaume
