Proposal

The WFS data downloader component is a simple widget which helps user downloading data from a WFS service. A form is displayed in order to select:

• a service (usually referenced in a metadata record)
• a layer (aka. feature type) (which may be referenced in a metadata record)
• an output format
• a projection
• an area of interest (a bounding box)

The service and layer can be use to initialize the component.

If the service is not available, a warning is displayed. If the layer is not published in the service, a warning is displayed.

A "download data" button is added to the view mode of the metadata when a WFS is registered in the current record.

TODO:

• Error reporting:
  • it could be nice to have some error reporting area - custom message displayed in the form which disappear after some secondes instead of modal popup)
• Form
  • hide projection if only one define (we can't get server side supported projection ?)
  • hide service version with parameter (to make form simple) - an advanced/simple download form ?
  • format : use radio instead of combo ?
  • Download area:
    • download area is the coordinates input or a map (if attached to the widget) extent. A rectangle could be better.
    • if coordinates are update, the map is not
• IE support
