Nope, layer groups in Geoserver are not a way to organize the layer tree in the caps document, they are opaque alises to a set of layers. If you want to organize the layer tree check the "wms path" property in the layer configuration and set each layer to a specific position in the layer tree. > - Layer Groups + Virtual Services/workspaces playing nicely together > (?).

As far as I know the layer group ceases to exist if any layer in the group gets hidden (though imho we should relax that a bit and make it disappear if all layers are hidden), so within a certain workspace virtual service you should see only the groups whose layers are fully in the workspace Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
