WMS support on MapGuide Maestro

[dumas65]

It would be nice that MapGuide maestro will support WMS services. If You need any help on testing it, don't hesitate to ask.

If you can attach a working header file, that would make it easier.

There is more information on what kind of configuration is available for WMS (similar to raster config file) in the WMS provider notes, and example XML config files are available in the unit tests for the WMS provider.

These are both linked to from #565 (I think this ticket is a duplicate?).

Oops, or maybe not if this is talking about configuring MapGuide to serve WMS layers instead of consume them...

Working WMS header. Note: bounds need to be in 4326.

[ksgeograf]

Perfect. That should be very easy to implement.

I'm not entirely convinced that there isn't some kind of permissions header that needs to be set to allow the layer to be served as WMS.

There's a checkbox in the Studio UI, but I have no idea what it maps to in the repository, and can't find a way in the HTML test pages to look at permissions in raw mode.

The code that generates these capabilities looks like it exists somewhere in:

WmsLayerDefinitions.cpp

I'm pretty sure that to publish a layer as WMS, that only the resource header information needs to be set. Chris, could probably confirm.

This is completed in r3297: ​http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro/Downloads

What do you mean by: "Note: bounds need to be in 4326."

Is the user required to always supply bounds in 4326, or is it specfic for the sample header?
