Geoserver Japan

This page covers the use of Geoserver to import GIS information about historical feudal Japan, in particular 1664 boundaries among daimyos. This data is available on Harvard's website: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~chgis/japan/archive/

First, copy the data to the Tomcat server where Geoserver is running:

sudo cp -r jp_toku_dmyo_pgn /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/geoserver/data/data/feudaljapan1
sudo chown -R tomcat7:tomcat7 /var/lib/tomcat7/webapp/geoserver/data/data/feudaljapan1
