Upgrade of GDAL dependency to v3.6

[dstenger]

GDAL dependency is updated to a more recent version v3.5.

Partly related to #1415.

[dstenger]

Added background information about Linux distributions and GDAL support of package managers: #1415

[dstenger]

Reminder: GDAL just supports the last released feature version. 3.7 is the current release. The release cycle is around 6 months (at least, for the release of 3.8).

@dstenger Please amend the PR with a short description how to use a newer version of gdal by applying the changes to the webapp, including replacement of the gdal.jar, JNI .so file and gdal binaries.

[dstenger]

As Debian 12 will support GDAL 3.6.2, we decided during the deegree code sprint to update this pull request to v3.6.

[dstenger]

Test GDAL 3.6.2 with deegree

Check if GDAL Docker Image contains JNI interface:

stenger@elsbeere:~$ docker pull ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-full-3.6.2
stenger@elsbeere:~$ docker run -it ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-full-3.6.2 bash
root@f8b326455246:/# find / -iname libgdalalljni.so
/usr/share/java/libgdalalljni.so

JNI interface exists on Docker Image.

Created Dockerfile:

FROM ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-full-3.6.2

ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/share/java"

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y openjdk-11-jdk wget
RUN wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.75/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.75.tar.gz
RUN tar -xvf apache-tomcat-9.0.75.tar.gz
RUN mv apache-tomcat-9.0.75 /usr/local/tomcat

RUN wget "https://repo.deegree.org/service/rest/v1/search/assets/download?repository=public&maven.groupId=org.deegree&maven.artifactId=deegree-webservices&maven.extension=war&maven.baseVersion=3.5.0-SNAPSHOT&sort=version" -O "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/deegree-webservices.war"

CMD ["/usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh", "run"]

Functional test:

stenger@elsbeere:~/deegree-gdal$ vim Dockerfile 
stenger@elsbeere:~/deegree-gdal$ docker build -t deegree-gdal .
stenger@elsbeere:~/deegree-gdal$ docker run -p 8080:8080 -v /path/to/workspace/directory:/root/.deegree deegree-gdal

A deegree Workspace with GDALTileStore could successfully be initialized. Also, the Capabilities could be retrieved and GetMap was tested via QGIS. A raster map was displayed in QGIS.

Switched the deegree webapp inside the Docker Container with a local build of deegree containing gdal jar v3.6.0.

stenger@elsbeere:~/git/deegree3/deegree-services/deegree-webservices/target$ docker cp deegree-webservices-3.5.0-SNAPSHOT.war container_name:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/
stenger@elsbeere:~/git/deegree3/deegree-services/deegree-webservices/target$ docker exec -it container_name bash
root@6fac57f0012f:/# rm /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/deegree-webservices.war 
stenger@elsbeere:~/git/deegree3/deegree-services/deegree-webservices/target$ docker restart container_name 

The previously described test was repeated and returned the same result.

Documentation regarding used version of GDAL was enhanced: lat-lon@d2e6fb0

[dstenger]

After further discussion, we decided to go with the latest available version 3.7.0 (see #1415 (comment)).

[dstenger]

I executed tests with GDAL 3.7.0 (both cases, GDAL 3.0.0 jar and 3.7.0 jar) as described above. All functional tests were successful again.

However, during initialization of the workspace following error is logged:

...
Caught and handled this exception :
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class it.geosolutions.imageio.stream.input.spi.FileImageInputStreamExtImplSpi (in unnamed module @0x4ad27667) cannot access class com.sun.imageio.spi.FileImageInputStreamSpi (in module java.desktop) because module java.desktop does not export com.sun.imageio.spi to unnamed module @0x4ad27667

Thus, we decided to use GDAL 3.6.0 jar instead as this error does not occur here.

Replaced the 3.5 commits with 3.6 commits.
