Hi Rini, you're right, it should be true that if the layer is disabled it should not show up on getcaps. If it's not it's a bug ans as Andrea pointed out one quite possibly left there as the result of the resource/publish split not yet being finished.
Still, remember that's not the ideal solution for your problem. In which you are interested in publishing one feature type, but given the current configuration structure for app-schema you need to configure the related feature types. But that's coincidential and we shouldn't be relying on that at all, since it means relying on a side effect. The side effect being that the only way to load the related featuretypes in the app-schema type registry is for geoserver to somewhat load their configurations, so they register themselves on the app-schema registry. This is obviously less that desired, and means we need some sort of configuration include procedure so a given app-schema mappings file can refer to it's related ones. Then they can be ingested at once without the need to publish nor configure them on geoserver. Does that make sense? If so you can maybe add an include element in the app-schema mappings file xsd and instruct the config loader to ingest included mappings too. Something on the lines of: <AppSchemaDataAccess> <include url="../CGITermValue.xml"> <include url="CompositionPart.xml"> ...
