For pgRouting using security and custom SLD _might_ work but it's a custom solution for a specific problem. What about an OL client that drives the creation of new layers thru WPS? How do you deal with them in a session specific way? What if the functionality you're offering is not security bound (such as a demo site). And finally, how do you deal with removing the layers once the user session is expired? >> * Got a couple of negative feedbacks on the layer grouping >> functionality, people do expect the grouping to produce a tree that >> can be then used by smart clients to show a correspondent UI tree >> (I guess MapFish does this?). >> > We actually do this in uDig now as well.
