[Geoserver-users] Return specific layer from WMS request?

Hi

I am wondering if it is possible to return specific layers from a Geoserver WMS request?

After looking I don’t think it is possible to just include ‘layer=layerworkspace:layername’ like a WFS request, but read in the documents that the workspace name can be included, and then a namespace specified which could be the layer?

For example, I tried the below URL but only managed to retrieve all the layers within the ‘environment’ workspace.

http://myserver/geoserver/environment/wms?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layer=air_quality_management_areas

Is such a request possible? Should the above work? Perhaps I need to configure my workspace parameters for the above request to be accessible?

Thanks, Chris

Yes and no… the request would be like this one, for topp:states:

http://demo.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/topp/states/ows?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities

but the current code still returns also the layer groups at the top level (not entirely sure why btw, it’s probably a bug)

Cheers
Andrea
