[Geoserver-users] Default WMS Path for Layer Groups

Hi Everyone

I’ve had a look but can’t figure out if there’s a way to set a default WMS path for layer groups in the same way as you can for layers.

I’m building a tree in OpenLayers using a WMSCapabilitiesLoader that uses the default WMS path to form the tree structure. It would be great if I could get the groups to sit properly in the tree alongside the single layers.

Thanks

Tom

I believe what you want can be done starting with GeoServer 2.3.0, from
that version the wms path property
has been dropped and layer groups can be used to organize the layer tree in
different ways,
you can nest them and expose their structure:

That does exactly what I wanted, thanks very much Andrea. I had looked at the different layer groups before but hadn’t registered what they were for.

In 2.3.4 the Default WMS Path is still there under the publishing tab, is that going to be removed now if it’s just duplicating the layer groups functionality that is much more powerful?

Thanks again

Tom
