Hi Jody, Thanks! Feedback is always welcome (off-list too). Unfortunately I won't be going to Bucharest so the next FOSS4G international I'm likely to make is 2022 given I'm trying to keep my pollution footprint low by not flying. But I hope to present it at FOSS4GUK later this year. > I as

I believe most WMS clients can already handle no-root-layers, at least if they interact successfully with ArcGIS Server WMS', which don't always provide one. For instance try the getcap for: https://www.geoseer.net/rl.php?ql=1c9ad6b795c81a3a or https://www.geoseer.net/rl.php?ql=20e92da97bb6ff

Hi Jody. The most interesting use case is when you are asking for a layer group and you get the group as root and the subgroups and layers as child nodes (so not really a single layer, but a tree with a single root, that is not the GS default root, but the group itself). I would not make it active

No objection to the idea, it is just very unusual to see a WMS service configured this way (with a single layer). That said, is there any reason not to do this *all* the time for the cases you mention (layer group and single layer)? If it really is unnecessary -- Jody Garnett On Mon, 20 May

2019-05-20 Thread Mauro Bartolomeoli
Hi, to improve compatibility with some WMS clients, we would like to add an option for WMS to produce capabilities documents without the root layer tag when this is not necessary (e.g. when you ask for a virtual service, either a layergroup or a single layer, and thus you already have a single root
