[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-1659) WFS Maxfeatures refinement

WFS Maxfeatures refinement
--------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-1659
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1659
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: WFS
            Reporter: Chris Tweedie
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

Currently Geoserver's server side limit offers administrators a sensible way to restrict "stupid" WFS queries that would otherwise impact server resources.

While a server level limit is acceptable in limited situations, we urgently require enhancements to this capabilities to be able to set a hard limit on a featuretype by featuretype basis.

Deliverables:

1. A new input box on the featuretype setup page / configuration element in config files.
2. Adjust current code to use the featuretype value in place of server level
   a. Suggest keeping server level in use only if not overriden at the featuretype level
3. Advertise the set value automatically by appending a description in the Abstract field
  a. Suggest Abstract as a good candidate while maintaining compatibility. Open to suggestions, however this needs to be advertised somewhere.

Further information available on request. See post on Geoserver-dev.
