Configure services with maps
----------------------------
Key: GEOS-2673
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2673
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Configuration
Reporter: Justin Deoliveira
Assignee: Andrea Aime
The addition of a map entity to the catalog / configuration. A "map" represents a virtual server, a set of logically grouped layers. Each layer being a published resource. A resource being a feature type, coverage, etc... A layer contains all the metadata related to publishing: styles, wfs namespace, aliased name, declared schema, etc...
A map controls the resources available to a service. So when the client specifies a map in a request, the server only sees the layers that have been configured as part of that map.
For backwards compatibility purposes, a "Default" map which provides a view of everything (more or less the way it works today) can be provided. This default is preferably controlled by the administrator.
