GSIP 153 Opaque container layer group
<https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-153>
o
Ben did not like any of Jody’s suggestions better than “opaque
container” layergroup
o
Should a layer contained in an “opaque container” have the
advertised checkbox grayed out?
o
Ben: “Withheld”? “Unadvertised”?
o
Properties of a single class?
Okay making a table to sort out what is what ...
Layer group
Named
Children
Advertised Children
Access Restrictions
Single
named
layer default
layer default
Named tree
named
Lists children
layer default
Layer default
Container Tree
Lists children
layer default
Layer default
EO Tree
Named delegate
Lists children
layer default
Layer default
Opaque Container
named
Not advertised
Q: Because the children are not advertised by “opaque container” why
does the access restrictions even matter?
Q: Are the access restrictions any different between “Named tree” and
‘Opaque container”?
*
Ben cannot see a difference
*
Jody cannot see why it matters (since the layers are not published here)
Q: Can we break out these qualities as checkboxes rather than as a
“mode” setting?
*
Tree
o
(true) controls if children are listed in the capabilities
document; or
o
(false) layer group is is presented as a single layer in the
capabilities document
*
Advertise Layer Group
o
(true) layer group is listed in the capabilities document
o
(false) layer group is not listed in the capabilities document
*
Advertise Children
o
(true) layers use their default “advertised” setting
o
(false) layers are not advertised in the capabilities document
here(yes another layer group may wish to advertise them)
*
Named
o
(true) layer group name can be used to request the layer group
be drawn (treats the layer group as a single layer that can be
drawn using GetMap)
o
(false) layer group name is for internal use only, and cannot be
used in a GetMap Request (treats the layergroup as a folder that
cannot be requested using GetMap)
*
Delegate Layer
o
If a delegate is provided this layer will be drawn instead when
the layer group is requested
*
Restricted
o Layer group is available as target for access control restrictions
