Description

We need a generic API for handling 'operations' or 'tasks' (actually, a Task API may be a better name...)
The operation api will be the key location for developers wanting to plug in additional functionality. It covers almost any process or task that might be carried out on a data set.

Tasks can take a long time to run, they may generate multiple - non fatal - errors, they will each require a different set of parameters.

Full discusion of this requirment will take place over at:

Recently some progress has been made on the WPS specification, and geoserver has a developer working on an implementation of this.
We should see if they are interested in capturing this as a formal geotools interface (after of course they have something working).

You will also find tha tthe uDig project has a working opperation api, although it is more generic then what is intended here.

Unitl such time as a volunteer can be found, Jesse is the best resource as keeper of the uDig opperations api.
