[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-2865) Accept default description from FeatureSource Info or Schema description

Accept default description from FeatureSource Info or Schema description
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2865
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2865
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Configuration
            Reporter: Jody Garnett
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
             Fix For: 1.7.4

When creating a new Layer the user has the opportunity to type in the Title and Abstract (and keywords etc...). Right now we base a lot of this information on the name of the feature source being described.

We should be able to get better default values from:
- FeatureSource.getInfo()
- description associated with the schema FeatureType (or contained attribute types)

The driver for this bug report is the CCIP integration showcase where MarkLeslie has filled in all the table descriptions in the PostGIS database; and a lot of the column descriptions as well. It would be good to leverage this work as default descriptions; rather than copying and pasting the text out of pgAdmin.
