Hi,
another issue that came up with JDBCConfig is that we found it breaks when
dealing with derived properties.

There are two types of derived properties:
* computed ones, that lack a getter, such as "prefixedName()"
* delegated ones, that lack a field, and point directly to the value in
another object, for example LayerInfo enabled/advertised

For the derived ones, I wanted to use
PublishedInfo/LayerInfo/LayerGroupInfo/.prefixedName... but JDBCConfig does
not
see it, because it does not have a getter, whilst it sees the ResoruceInfo
one because there is a deprecated getPrefixedName()
method.
For the time being, to move forward, I've added getPrefixedName() to
PublishedInfo too (and subclasses), but I guess it would
be best if we had a way to declare these derived properties that only have
a getter, to allow filtering/sorting on them.
Maybe we could have a derived_properties.properties, in the same spirit as
nested_properties.properties?

The delegated ones are nasty... JDBCConfig saves LayerInfo
enabled/advertised in the db at the time of import,
and then the GUI only touches ResourceInfo advertised/enabled, so the code
saving them only saves the change
in ResourceInfo, but not in LayerInfo.
For these it would be nice to just have nested_properties.propertise handle
the case such as:
LayerInfo.enabled=ResourceInfo.enabled
LayerInfo.advertised=ResourceInfo.advertised

since in the end we are accessing a nested property.

One final nasty case is title, which is exposed as a property in
PublishedInfo, and it is direct in LayerGroupInfo,
but when it comes to layers, there is a direct property that is never used,
and we actually live off the title of the nested
resource.
I guess a delegation declaration such as:
LayerInfo.title=ResourceInfo.title
would do the trick, and we can kill LayerInfo own title? It does not seem
anything is using it anyways

Cheers
Andrea
