Hi,

The limited SRS list for WMS is set with the config utility in the Services - 
WMS page. I can see that documentation 
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/webadmin/services/WMS.html#service-metadata
 lags behind and is missing also some other options. You'd better to install 
Geoserver and check the page
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/web/?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:org.geoserver.wms.web.WMSAdminPage

It will be up to you and whoever you will contract to deside if OtherSRS list 
will affect the whole WFS service or each feature type separately. Have a look 
at the UI pages and think where would you like to see this new config option.

Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] SRS advertised in capabilities document (with 
possible funding)??

Hi,

WMS side is handled already. By default the long SRS/CRS list is advertised but 
it can be made shorter. Try 
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities

However, you are right with WFS and Geoserver advertises only DefaultSRS 
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&request=GetCapabilities

It would be useful to have a short OtherSRS if WFS clients could make a 
selection list based on that. WFS 1.0.0 standard supports only default SRS so 
there is no place for OtherSRS in GetCapabilities with that version so we must 
be talking about WFS >= 1.1.0.

I believe that WFS standard mandates that what is advertised in the 
GetCapabilities must be usable. I think it is compliant that Geoserver offers a 
support for using other SrsNames in WFS 1.1.0 and also in WFS 1.0.0 even this 
possibility is not advertised in GetCapabilities. But as I said, having an 
OtherSRS list would be an improvement. Are you after a common list for the 
whole  WFS service or a per feature type setting for OtherSRS?
