[Geoserver-devel] layers in GetMap request

Hi all,

It seems that in a GetMap request, an exception is thrown only if all the layers being requested don't exist in the catalog, and dont map to a wms path.

This violates cite in that an exception with code "LayerNotDefined" must be thrown if a layer is encountered that does not exist.

I dont know if this is intentional or not. if so let me know, I have patched GetMapKvpReader in the meantime.

Side note. When I went to patch trunk as well I notice that the code is quite different. On 1.5.x there seems to be code that checks all entries in the catalog for its "wms path" to match up. There seems to be no such check on trunk?

Forget this one. Jumped to email before I did an svn update :). Apologies.

Hi Justin,
this is not intentional, so go on with the patch.
