WMS minidrivers : inconsistencies among the minidriver for the Layers, Layer and Dataset elements

Reported by: Even Rouault Owned by: nowakpl

Description

Adam,

Michele Zanin has reported (http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2009-December/022983.html) that the documentation frmt_wms.html is not in sync with the reality of the code.

The current situation is :

  • WMS minidriver requires <Layers>
  • TMS and Worldwind require <Layer>
  • TileService requires <Dataset>

What should we do ?

  • Fix the doc to be in sync with the reality of the code + add a warning if the expected element is not present
  • or Harmonize the option to accept the documented <Layers> (and make them still accept their previous value in order not to break existing XML description files ?)
  • or ... ?
