Hello all!
I'm making WMS-layers from up to 300 parameters, each on on its own layer. Data comes from "Web Feature Server (NG)"-store (Cascaded Stored Query). Data is updated daily.
Not all parameters are present all the time, typically only 10 of those parameters have values, but occasionally more parameters appear in data. Each parameter have only about 5 data points so dataset is not big.
I could enter those 300 layers by hand limiting one parameter to one layer by giving static value to parameter in Cascaded Stored Query Configuration. This would result large amount of empty layers, but allows client to have list of all possible layers.
To prevent empty layers and long layer list, we consider using Custom Dimensions. By updating dimension list dynamically using REST, user would only see list of layers with data.
It seems that WFS-data layers can not have custom dimensions, only Time and Elevation. Documantation and examples of coverage type layers using custom dimensions can be found, but none using WFS!
I downloaded source code to examine this and it also suggest that only Time and Elevation are supported.
We are using geoserver 2.7.1.1
Have anyone used Custom Dimensions with WFS-data, is it possible?
