Hi,
I've got a mapbuilder configuration which will read in a WMS caps document
and convert that to a context to show as a map.
I've never worked with struts before, but I think I've managed to hack in a
little map in the Geoserver sidebar that updates automatically as you
add/delete/modify data in geoserver config. I tried deleting a data store,
and then adding it back, and the map changed automatically at every step. I
would attach a screen grab but the security settings on my mail client are
preventing that.
We could probably also put together a full page to edit the resulting
context doc (turn layers on/off/delete, reorder layers, etc.)
Let me know if this would be useful and I can provide the changes, (probably
not until Monday though).
Mike

Subject: RE: [Mapbuilder-devel] Caps document to configure?I think dblasby has reprojection fixes for beta4. And yes, I
think you
understand what I want Mike. And yeah, a little map below
the health bars
would be pretty slick, and then I think a bigger one for the
demo section,
move the current demo section to a 'sample requests' sub-section.C
