GNIP 26 – Load Layers to a Map without GetCapabilities Requests

[sbenthall]

WorldMap feature proposed by Matt Bertrand:

https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/wiki/GNIP-26---Load-Layers-to-a-Map-without-GetCapabilities-Requests

When loading layers on a map, GeoNode should store/retrieve all necessary information in its own Layer model rather than query GeoServer’s WMS GetCapabilities document. When adding GeoNode layers to a map, use Geonetwork’s data search functionality rather than GeoExt’s WMSGetCapabilitiesStore to list available layers.

Some notes from a previous ticket.

Maps load more slowly and sometimes result in timeout errors if the # of layers in the system rises above ~300, due to the increasing size of the GetCapabilities document. Store all necessary info in the Layer model instead, and use a new GXP LayerSource object (GeoNodeSource) to differentiate between local and remote WMS layers.

Most of the info is already stored in the Layer model. What else can we do to take care of this?

This is fixed already in master.
