Key: GEOS-981
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-981
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Struts
Affects Versions: 1.5.0-RC2
Reporter: Jody Garnett
Assigned To: Andrea Aime
Priority: Minor
Attachments: Request-Geoserver.doc
From private email (Joachim Sommer); attached document provides a list of specific questions. The tooltips for the user interface elements mentioned should be modified to answer the questions raised.
Questions (from attached doc)
Q: Proxy base URL
When you are using GeoServer behind a proxy/firewall the users on the
outside will see a different URL from anything geoserver had in mind.
Since some of the documents we return need to link to each other
geoserver needs to know how to construct the url that users will see.
So the GetFeature response document links to the DescribeFeatureType
response document.
Q: Online Resource
This is a good example - if you read the WFS 1.0 specification these
kinds of questions would be answered. If I recall correctly the
"OnlineResource" is link to more information about the server - oh wait
that was metadata url. Sigh. Can you check the WFS specification and get
back to me?
Q: AccessConstraints
I am not sure what access constraints you have - I would hope for read
only et... but one again this is from the specification. The words here
are only used to describe the access constraints (maybe data license?).
Q: Data Maintenance
Same deal - we need to read the specification
Q: OnlineResource
This is the one I mentioned earlier - it is the link to a metadata
document describig your data using a ISO19115 document - nobody in the
real world has ever done this.
Q: WMS Access Constraints
NONE is good; you could do a click through license or username/password
(if you configure your Tomcat correctly)
Q: WMS Data Maintenance
We need to read the specification again - my guess is the information
gives a user of your server an idea of how good your data is.
