Hi Jody, thanks for those ideas but they will not work for our case. Our 
extension actually allows GeoServer to provide OWS interfaces for a dynamic 
backing coverage store of our own design, containing many coverages that are 
not actually published to GeoServer at all, only discovered at runtime. There 
is no concept of a namespace, workspace, or prefix in our backing coverage 
store, only a coverage id.

For 1.0 DescribeCoverage responses, it was a simple matter of overriding 
ResourceInfo.getPrefixedName().

For 2.0, it was just a matter of implementing the 
WCS20DescribeCoverageExtension interface.

But for 1.1, because of how the DescribeCoverageTransformer is coded, we can't 
get our desired behavior.

It seems that the 1.1 DescribeCoverageTransformer implementation does not 
provide the proper encapsulation of behavior for how the coverage id is written 
out in the response. I think my proposed code change would remedy that by 
making the CoverageInfo object responsible for returning how the coverage id 
should come out in the response (in our case, without a prefix).

Thanks,
Scott

Are you trying to hide namespace, prefix or workspace?

If you turn off the global WCS and use the per workspace virtual service you 
should get what you need. Or look into how default workspace works.

As for the change open up a big ticket / pull request and be sure to include a 
test case :)

Hi, we are writing geoserver extensions and trying to hide the concept of a 
namespace from client code.

The code that emits the coverage id in DescribeCoverage responses for WCS 1.0 
and 2.0 was extensible, and we were able to implement the behavior we need.

However, for WCS 1.1, the fact that a namespace is prepended to a coverage id 
with a colon delimeter is hardcoded here:
project: org.geoserver.gs-wcs1_1
org.geoserver.wcs.response.DescribeCoverageTransformer.java

        protected void handleCoverageDescription(CoverageInfo ci) throws 
Exception {
            start("wcs:CoverageDescription");
            element("ows:Title", ci.getTitle());
            element("ows:Abstract", ci.getDescription());
            handleKeywords(ci.getKeywords());
            element("wcs:Identifier", ci.getStore().getWorkspace().getName() + 
":" + ci.getName());
            handleMetadataLinks(ci.getMetadataLinks(), "simple");
            handleDomain(ci);
            handleRange(ci);
            handleSupportedCRSs(ci);
            handleSupportedFormats(ci);
            end("wcs:CoverageDescription");
        }


Could this line be changed to delegate returning the prefixed coverage id to 
the CoverageInfo object? i.e.

            element("wcs:Identifier", ci.prefixedName());

That way I could implement the behavior I need in my own CoverageInfo object.

Thanks,
Scott
