[MapProxy] Porting MapProxy to Java

[Peter Borissow]

Hi Oliver-
     Where's the code for pre_store_filter? I'm looking for the functions in pre_store_filter.

Thanks!
Peter

Ha, it's 1th April, isn't it?

Seriously, why do you want to do a port? If you need to run MapProxy within Java Servlets you could try to do a port to Jython. That should be a lot easier and I would be happy to help you with it.

pre_store_filter is just a list of functions that take a tile and return a tile.

Python is a dynamic programming language and a lot of stuff is different from Java. You can do things in one line of Python that would require ten lines in Java.

You can do whatever you like, it is Open Source. But keep in mind that if you create a one to one port/copy of MapProxy your bound to the same license (APGL).
