Hi again, I feel that the documentation provided in the pop-up box in the Geoserver GUI within /*Edit Workspace --> Services --> Workspace Specific Services*/ needs some polishing. It is an important section for Geoserver users.
The following workflow makes a Geoserver workspace restricted to *WMS* using the Geoserver GUI. *Step A:* (1) Create a Geoserver workspace (i.e. *public_maps*) (2) Navigate to */Data --> Workspaces --> public_maps/* (3) Under the /*'Services'*/ list tick all the boxes. Clicking all the boxes allows you to create custom WFS,WMS, and WCS services for the workspace /*public_maps*/. If you leave one box without a tick (e.g. WMS) your workspace must use the global Geoserver configuration for that specific service (i.e. the WMS). (4) Click on /*Save*/ *Step B:* (5) From the side panel on the Geoserver admin page under /*Services*/ click on /*WFS*/. (6) Using the /*Workspace*/ drop-down menu select /*public_maps*/. If you haven't ticked WFS on previous Step A (2) then your workspace will not be shown as an option in the drop-down menu. (7) Make sure that the tick box /*Enable WFS*/ is not ticked (8) Scroll at the end of the web page & click on /*Submit*/. (9) Repeat steps (5), (6), (7), and (8) for /*Services*/ /*WMS*/ and /*WCS*/ You are now set. Your workspace (i.e. *public_maps*) will be serving only WMS. When a user makes an attempt to ask the workspace using ows/wfs they will be receiving an error message (i.e. ServiceException: Service WFS is disabled).
