[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-572) Set min max scale in the Geoserver featuretype configuration

Set min max scale in the Geoserver featuretype configuration
------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: GEOS-572
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-572
     Project: GeoServer
        Type: Improvement

  Components: Configuration
    Reporter: Randy George
Assigned to: dblasby
    Priority: Minor

A minimum approach to eliminating prior knowledge on the client for scale dependent viewing.
1. Set min max scale fields in the Geoserver featuretype configuration
2. Publish this as ScaleHint for WMS 1.1.1 or Min and MaxScaleDenominator for WMS 1.3

This way a client can get information about the advisability of attempting a render at a given scale without prior knowledge of the layer/featuretype
and avoid problems with inadvertantly requesting too many features for a given scale view.
