[Geoserver-users] Group FeatureTypes

Hi List!

Is there a possiblity to create groups for my Geoserver featuretypes
for the WMS? Can I use the namespaces for this?
For example I'd like to make the following request:
http://geoportal:8080/geoserver/wms/topp?request=getCapabilities
and receive the descriptions of all layers of the topp namespace
and accordingly get the descriptions of all layers of the cite
namespace if I send
http://geoportal:8080/geoserver/wms/cite?request=getCapabilities

Or is it somehow possible to create multiple wms service instances?
Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
Any help is highly appreciated - thank you!

Regards
Lena Pahl

In the GeoServer WCS Experiment SVN version there is an option which allows a user to group Feature and Coverage layers like a directory tree.

Hope this help,
Alessio.

Hi Lena,

I cannot say about Geoserver, but with Mapserver creating many instances is rather easy. It is using "mapfiles" defining the services and you can have as many as you like installed on your server. You could make one mapfile called topp.map that holds your topp-data and another for the cite-data. Then you can direct your WMS requests either to http://Mapserver:8090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=topp.map&SERVICE=WMS&… or to map=cite.map... , respectively. It is possible to use Geoserver as the native connentor to the data and make Mapserver WMS layers from those WMS layers delivered by Geoserver.

I suppose running two parallel servers is not a final solution for any productive systems, but I am doing it when playing around and testing. I am totally missing programming abilities so I have to pick up what is readily available and therefore I have been using Geoserver-WFS to spice up my Mapserver-WMS with Oracle layers . Cascading WMS and WFS services with Geoserver and Mapserver are working amazingly well.

I am new on the list, but I hope that Geoserver and Mapserver folks are not enemies and it is acceptable to mention the other name as well sometimes?

No, we're definitely not enemies, far from it. We often recommend MapServer to users and they do the same for us. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, which it looks like you've been figuring out. We're all looking out for Open Source Geo users, so don't hesitate to mention them.

best regards,

Chris

I am much in need of this feature and I will deploy a new SVN install to try it.

Thanks Alessio,

Alex
