This issue depends upon:

GEOT-2435 Publish table description information

Description

« Hide

When creating a new Layer the user has the opportunity to type in the Title and Abstract (and keywords etc...). Right now we base a lot of this information on the name of the feature source being described.

We should be able to get better default values from:

FeatureSource.getInfo()
description associated with the schema FeatureType (or contained attribute types)

The driver for this bug report is the CCIP integration showcase where MarkLeslie has filled in all the table descriptions in the PostGIS database; and a lot of the column descriptions as well. It would be good to leverage this work as default descriptions; rather than copying and pasting the text out of pgAdmin.

We can try and take the table description, but not the column description. Not sure we want to make this change on 1.7.x, more likely to happen on 2.0.x, too.

Moving to the 2.x series, no chance it will be done by 1.7.x unless a patch plops into this jira

Moving this issue off to 2.0.x since the base funcionality that we could use to even just manually check things are working is missing (and it's by no means critical to 2.0-beta2)
