[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-2292) Make it easier to build wms layer trees

Make it easier to build wms layer trees
---------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2292
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2292
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Configuration, WMS
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
             Fix For: 2.0.x

At FOSS4G some users lamented that the layer grouping functionality hides the underlying layers that some clients can use to generate a tree like legend (MapFish I believe). We actually can use the wmspath attribute to build layer trees, but it's messy and allows a layer to stay only within one tree.
With the new UI we should probably merge the two concepts and allow either to build an opaque layer group, or a group that's indeed a visiable tree (eventually allowing the same layer to be visible multiple times in different trees).
