allow for more BoundingBox elements in GetCapabilities responses
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1523
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1523
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: WMS
Affects Versions: 1.6.0-RC1
Reporter: Tim Schaub
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Priority: Minor
Currently, a bounding box for the native SRS is published in a (wms) capabilities doc. In addition, a client can rely on the LatLonBoundingBox. It would be nice if layers could be advertised with bboxes in more SRS. Based on discussion with Andrea, this could be done in one of three ways:
1) a configuration option to advertise additional bbox/srs information for all layers
2) a configuration option to advertise additional bbox/srs information on a select set of layers (configured per layer)
3) a vendor specific parameter that would request additional bbox/srs information in a capabilities response
Since the first two require changes to the configuration UI, it sounds like the third would be the most straightforward to implement. From the perspective of a client-side application designer, more vendor specific parameters mean a more tightly coupled (brittle) connection between client and server.
