Provide database data via 52n Sensor Web Server Helgoland.
This module is an SPI implementation of the 52°North Sensor Web Server Helgoland. It provides data access objects which access series data from relational databases. Using Hibernate the data model is not fixed to one specific.
The DAO module implements the Series API's Service Provider Interface (SPI). It serves as backend access layer to retrieve data from a relational database and to provide it via a well defined RESTful interface. Lightweight clients can then query and work with that series data easily in a common way (other data access mechanisms are available as well). Besides pure data access, the data can be preprocessed with common IO functionalities e.g.
- prerendering of series data,
- generalization,
- overlaying of data from multiple series
- conversion of raw data to other formats like pdf and png
Using Hibernate makes it flexible to use almost arbitrary data models, i.e. there is no need to have convert your
data intot a specific data model. The combination of making adjustments to hbm.xml mapping files and database
views (not always needed) make it possible to match existing databases quite well. The series data model of the
52°North SOS is used by default and can be used right out-of-the-box.
The following main frameworks are used to provide this API:

We try to follow the GitFlow model, although we do not see it that strict.
However, make sure to do pull requests for features, hotfixes, etc. by making use of GitFlow. Altlassian provides [a good overview] (https://www.atlassian.com/de/git/workflows#!workflow-gitflow). of the most common workflows.

Depending on which build environment you've chosen open one the WEB-INF/classes/logback-{dev,ci,prod}.xml. Here
you can edit log levels and log outputs.
Refer to the official Series REST API documentation to get a detailed overview on how to access the data provided by the API.
