Incompatibility with WMS standards 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 when using "Default WMS path" setting
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-4409
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4409
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: WMS
Affects Versions: 2.1-RC2
Environment: Used the binary distribution of Geoserver 2.1-RC2, multiple platforms
Reporter: Øyvind Arntzen Bratne
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Priority: Critical
Layers defined by "Default WMS Path" should not contain a "Name" element. This might lead clients to ask for non-existent layers.
From the official OGC documentation:
7.2.4.6.3 Name
If, and only if, a layer has a <Name>, then it is a map layer that can be requested by using that Name in the LAYERS parameter of a GetMap request. A Layer that contains a <Name> element is referred to as a "named layer" in this International Standard. If the layer has a Title but no Name, then that layer is only a category title for all the layers nested within. A server that advertises a Layer containing a Name element shall be able to accept that Name as the value of LAYERS argument in a GetMap request and return the corresponding map. A client shall not attempt to request a layer that has a Title but no Name.
