supporting non-spatial tables: SDE Table
----------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-1817
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1817
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: ArcSDE
    Affects Versions: 1.6.2
            Reporter: Bart van den Eijnden
            Assignee: Andrea Aime


catching up on email.

Right, non spatial tables are not supported by the ArcSDE geotools plugin, but
supporting at least the sde registered tables would be quite easy I guess and
the appropriate way to indicate which ones to show and what not (registering
a table/view with sde works more or less like the postgis geometry_columns
table)

Bart, could you add a jira issue for this?

regards,

Gabriel
