[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-2291) Allow multiple service instances per server

Allow multiple service instances per server
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2291
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2291
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Configuration
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
             Fix For: 2.0.x

Having just a single WMS/WFS/WCS per server is limiting, deploying multiple GeoServers into the same container consumes quite a bit of permgen memory and does not allow for easy sharing of data.
What we want is the ability of setting up multiple services, each with his own set of layers, but backed by a common catalog, within a single GeoServer instance. This is the idea of "maps" in the new UI/catalog work, where each map is a sort of virtual geoserver, with its own services and layers, each layer being backed by shared sets of feaure types and coverages in the catalog.

--------------------------------------

Andrea, I do not think this is complete. How do we configure a second service URL to serve multiple feature types in multiple namespaces? Surely this would require some sort of container to represent the new service URL that contains the multiple workspaces/namespaces? Where is this implemented in the catalog?
