[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-1127) Add some limitators on WMS requests

Add some limitators on WMS requests
-----------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-1127
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1127
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Configuration, WMS
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
             Fix For: 1.6.0

A simple way to kill geoserver is to issue a sequence of requests that would make Geoserver work for a long time, WMS requests that do load a ton of data or generate a big image (this would take Geoserver on the verge of OOM, too).
Some reasonable limits could be:
* amount of features to be loaded from each datastore (this could be a mix in for the layers query definitions)
* size of the image, in megabytes, uncompressed (that is, memory used by the buffered image)
* timeout for processing

The latter could be applied in a more generic way to AbstractService, or the dispatcher, just not sure we have the machinery to abruptly stop a service executing (with the new dispatcher I think we haven't)
