As far as I know there is no such a thing.

What if I move everything to GeoServer, so that GT based applications are not involved? Building on top of the idea provided by Jody what about a naming schema that builds on the 404 theme and leaves codes open for similar setups, we could have the following: 404000 -> 2d wildcard in meter (the only one I'm going to actually work on) 404001 -> 2d wildcard in feet 404300 -> 3d wildcard in meter 404301 -> 3d wildcard in feet Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
