Boundingbox per feature
-----------------------
Key: GEOS-438
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-438
Project: GeoServer
Type: New Feature
Components: WFS
Reporter: Brent Owens
Assigned to: Brent Owens
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.3.0
"I found that Geoserver does not output a boundingbox per feature (boundedBy), whereas Mapserver does this. It comes in handy when you want to have light-weight client which can zoom in to that feature, without having to calculate the bbox yourself."
"The code should just be calling geom.getBounds() and sending that to the geometry writer before printing the geom. Maybe slightly more complicated, but not by much. Then adding the option to the gui, and maybe also as a param in the manner of antialiasing and the like."
"1. read the GML spec to check to see if this is legal (I'm pretty sure it is)
2. get justin to help you put the option on the WFS server config page. This will be a pain in the ass so dont be surprised when you say "man, this is a pain in the ass". Remember, to do "checkboxes" you have to have 2 variables - a addFeatureBoundedBy and addFeatureBoundedByChecked. I sent out a message to justin on this a little bit ago, and I think my notes on how to add a config option talked about this (citeConformanceHacks).
3. The output code shouldnt be too difficult; but have a look and see."
