[Geoserver-users] Preventing WMS/WFS layers being requested in isolation

Is it possible to allow certain layers to be requested only when other layers
are requested with it?

Thanks

In general terms, that would break the WMS contract, which allows any
combination of the exposed layers.

Well, of course unless you do not expose the layer in question (make it non
advertised),
and eventually lump it into opaque layer groups... at this point the
clients will not see it, but it will
still be available as part of the layer groups

If you don't mind me asking, why do you need the layer to only show up
along with other layers?
