InitialView - view extent doesn't return a zoom level

[adube]

Issue

When using using a localView with 4 coordinates (extent) or using a resourceView that is not a point with featureserver AND when having a maxZoom set, when attempting to get its "zoomForExtent", the map has no layers yet, so it always returns null instead of the expected zoom level, thus resulting in always having the maxZoom used.

Solution

Instead of applying the center/extent while in the InitialView widget execution, we could listent to the map 'printallwidgetexecutions' event and do that there. That way, the layers would have time to be created and the map would not have zoomed yet as well. Make sure that the map as a baseLayer set.

Fixed in r1303.

On map "printallwidgetexecutions", the map isn't ready yet to get a good zoom level using an extent because the div has no size yet, so the size returned is 1px X 1px and messes the whole equation.

We have no choice be to wait for the mapPanel to be fully rendered and its layout done to get that zoom level, thus result in having the map zooming at the original exent/center at first. It's as it was before, but it's a shame we have no choice but to do so.

Requires more tests

I'll leave the ticket open until more tests are done.
