Configure services with maps
----------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2673
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2673
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Configuration
            Reporter: Justin Deoliveira
            Assignee: Andrea Aime


The addition of a map entity to the catalog / configuration. A "map" represents 
a virtual server, a set of logically grouped layers. Each layer being a 
published resource. A resource being a feature type, coverage, etc... A layer 
contains all the metadata related to publishing: styles, wfs namespace, aliased 
name, declared schema, etc...

A map controls the resources available to a service. So when the client 
specifies a map in a request, the server only sees the layers that have been 
configured as part of that map. 

For backwards compatibility purposes, a "Default" map which provides a view of 
everything (more or less the way it works today) can be provided. This default 
is preferably controlled by the administrator.
