Ok, nice to know it's possible to avoid "death by bbox computation" in the RESTful case. That still leaves me cold in the UI case thought, the UI code also needs to build FeatureTypeInfo/CoverageInfo from a FeatureSource to pre-fill some of the fields in the UI. So... should I add a "computeBBOX" boolean flag to the methods that do build a FeatureTypeInfo or a CoverageInfo? And I'll also need to add an explicit method to compute the native bbox given a ResourceInfo (or two, one for feature types and one for coverages) Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
