[Geoserver-devel] confusion about CoverageStoreInfo, CoverageStore, and readers

Hi all,

still at it with new configuration work... and i have some questions about CoverageStoreInfo, and how they relate to CoverageInfo, and GridCoverageReader

I would think the relationship is similar as DataStoreInfo and FeatureTypeInfo, one to many. However it seems that code that grabs an actual reader comes from the CoverageStore.

Am I missing something?

The fact that CoverageStore is not there. We still have to design it.
The real classes are Format and Reader and Coverage, and there is
a sort of one to one relationship between them. I mean, not fully,
you can always have multiple coverages in the same file, but usually
they are overviews.

So imho before talking about a real CoverageStoreInfo we need a
CoverageStore... which is not there atm.

Hope this helps
Cheers
