Justin,
Thanks for the prompt reply!
Basically, I am trying to build an application that uses Geoserver to
provide data/meta-data. This application will enable the user to easily
perform analysis on the Geoserver data with Geotools, and maybe some other
GIS Apis.
I am still establishing the functionality a bit, but I was wondering if
there was some other class I should use in my service descriptor to force
support of the getCaps? Or maybe if there is a more complex example you
could point me to, that would be fine (I have the source too).
Thanks a million,
Patrick
