[Geoserver-devel] WMS and organizing layers

GeoServer GeoServer Developer

Hi,

As far as I know, the only way to organize the information and not to get lots of layers when you make a GetCapabilities request is having various instances of geoserver, each one containing a portion of all the layers.

I would like to know if it is possible to organize the layers of the WMS so that I can create a sublayer that contains infomation about a determined area, and then create another sublayer refering to another zone.

So, want I mean is more or less this:

Layer Zone 1
    SubLayer Zone 1 - name a
    SubLayer Zone 1 - name b
    SubLayer Zone 1 - name c
....
Layer Zone 2
    SubLayer Zone 2 - name x
    SubLayer Zone 2 - name y

thanks in advance,

    Miguel Ángel

Right now there is no way to do that. Hopefully for 1.3 we can get it in,
as we are focusing on WMS improvements. Do you have suggestions as a good
way to specify this in the files/user interface?

best regards,

Chris
