Yep, the proposal states that: ------------------------ The animator modification is a core one, DefaultWebMapService would have a new method: WebMap animate(GetMapRequest request) and the GetMapRequest would have two additional optional fields, aparam and avalues. ------------------------ > Even though this work is unlikely to be moved to a separate module as > it's wanted for kml, IMHO it'd be nice if an extra method wasn't > required. Yep, I agree, unfortunately for this one I'm in a really tight spot between a rock and a hard place. Initially this was meant as a stand alone web application, then we tried to redesign it as an extension, but that was not well received, the sponsor wants to keep their GS installs as standard as possible, so we went back and forth and number of other times between a stand-alone design and a core contribution until we felt the core one was small and tight, and felt a natural evolution of core enough to actually propose it as such. A good side effect is that we can also contribute a animated gif output format that works with time and elevation too, which would have otherwise been part of the separate application too.
