Wait, I lost you there... I'm not sure this matches Jody's mail stating
that this work will be core.
If it's core, it cannot work only with a module that is a community one, it
has to work also with the file system based resource store.
Otherwise we are talking about a GUI for JDBCStore, and as such it should
be a community module itself, e.g.,
community/web-jdbcstore
Plus, FTL templates are on the file system, they are not handled by
catalog, there is no GUI for them... so they should be handled JDBCStore
anyways no?
The lookup of FTL files is based on the file system
workspaces/<workspace>/<store>/<resource> structure, .e.g, if you place the
template files
down at the resource level, they affect only that resource, if you place
them at the store, all resources from that store,
at the workspace, anything in the workspace, if it in the worspaces folder,
then everything.
See a fuller explanation here:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/tutorials/freemarker.html
The same goes for some other files, such as the WFS simple feature schema
mapping:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wfs/schemamapping.html
Given that folders are not even there, this will
become painful for users that are trying to rebuild manually a directory
structure that
is not there: they have it easy in the file system based resource store,
since the directories
are already there, they just need to locate the right spot and add the
freemarker templates in it,
with the resource store approach instead they will have to manually type
the right path, no typos, no mistakes,
or the FTL files they add will not be used by GeoServer.
This might of course be solved by a customized GUI to handle the FTL files
(we already have rest resources
to do that). There is however nothing at all for the WFS schema mapping.

Right... that will be something difficult to explain users... (for

empty directories)

Yep, I'm worried that the system is going to be more dev friendly than user
friendly. Wondering, was
a UI guy or an interaction designed consulted? Is there anyone in the
community reading this
message with such experience?
