[Geoserver-users] supported SRS not displaying in layer metadata

I’m using GeoServer 2.3-RC1 on Windows. I have a limited set (about 9 of them) of supported SRS for my WMS service. When I view my GetCap files, they are listed under the Service-level metadata but not under the Layer-level metadata. For Layer-level supported SRS values, GetCap only displays the native SRS (and CRS:84 in WMS 1.3.0)

Is there any way to get the supported SRS to be listed under the service AND layer metadata sections in GetCaps? Thanks.

Nope, as it would not make sense… the tree structure of the WMS capabilities document is setup so that all
attributes of the parent layers are inherited by the children, to avoid duplication (so, it’s not just containment,
it’s really also about attribute inheritance).
While repeating the list of SRS is not formally wrong, it’s just a waste of space (assuming the WMS client
reading the doc is compliant, that is).

I think there is a flag to enable the generation of the BBOX in all supported srs though

Thank you for the explanation and clarification using GeoServer. I was trying to match a recommendation on including the supported SRS for each layer. I agree that the supported SRS list at the service level should be sufficient.
