Front page capabilities link integration
----------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-4162
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4162
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: GWC, Wicket UI
Affects Versions: 2.1-beta1
Reporter: Gabriel Roldán
Assignee: Gabriel Roldán
Fix For: 2.1-beta2
Currently the only way to get to the GWC WMS-C capabilities document is by being logged in or know the exact location.
Moreover, GWC provides additional services besides WMS-C. For instance: TMS and WMTS.
The links to the capabilities docs for those services should be advertised in the GeoServer front page as for the other services.
But, it is not that easy to fake the GWC service implementations as geoserver ServiceInfo instances so that the front page catches them from the application context and automatically creates GetCapabilities links for them, due to the assumptions made in the page.
First thing coming to mind is an extension point that provides the actual capabilities URL (since in the case of GWC services they even have a different base: <context path>/gwc/service), and a default implementation that picks the ServceInfo instances from the app context and does exactly what the front page does now with them. But I'm open to suggestions.
