Robert Coup created GEOS-5034:
---------------------------------
Summary: Non-advertised layers should appear in the layer-specific virtual service GetCapabilities document
Key: GEOS-5034
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5034
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Configuration, WCS, WFS, WMS
Affects Versions: 2.1.3, 2.2.x
Reporter: Robert Coup
Assignee: Justin Deoliveira
Priority: Minor
Attachments: advertisedFilter.patch
GEOS-4777 added the ability to un-advertise a layer from Capabilities documents. Which is awesome.
An improvement would be if the layer was still advertised in it's own layer-specific Capabilities virtual service doc (ala /geoserver/myns/mylayer/wfs?request=GetCapabilities), just not in the namespace or global Capabilities docs.
Reasoning:
* Some tools (like FME) struggle to work against a WFS server if the layer isn't available in a Capabilities document.
* You still need to know the layerID/etc to get to the virtual service, so it's not any more/less hidden than before.
I've attached a patch against 2.1 which implements this.
