[Geoserver-users] Managing WFS and WMS Services

pinheiro · March 29, 2016, 4:44pm

Dear all,

I am hitting my head in a wall trying to figure out how to manage the web services.

My goals:

1 - To make just one specific layer available for visualization only (no download available);
2 - To provide only OpenLayers for the Output Formats on WMS services.

My issue:

Making the service WFS unable is making all the layers in the layer preview unable.

Could anyone help me to figure out how to configure geoserver in order to publish data just for visualization through OpenLayers WMS only?

Hi,

Disabling WFS shouldn’t stop the Layer Preview from working.
Restricting access to only certain output formats - http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/WMS-output-format-restrictions-td3796402.html
Are you sure you want OpenLayers as the output format? If you’re building your own application that application will be openlayers (or whatever), and the data it uses will mostly be png8, (or jpeg for imagery).

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi,

If you restrict your output to openlayers (which isn’t “really” an output format), you won’t be able to even use the resulting output. The openlayers output format is what generates the layer previewer which is actually an html page with embedded javascript. Ultimately, the page makes WMS requests for the jpg/png etc formats. So, you would want to have them available as well.
