Catalogue listing does not allow the selection of Multiple Geometry

Details

Description

The catalogue lists only tables within an imported database. It does not provide the ability to select one of multiple geometry columns. Adding nodes under tables using the name / type of the column would allow this selection.

You are correct - that is by design. The catalog lists two things:
- services - ie IService
- content of services - ie IGeoResource and IProcess

When a table has multiple Geometries it is still represented as a single IGeoResource.

If you think about it in data modeling terms; each row of the table represents one feature - and the feature happens to have two spatial measurements (perhaps the area on fire; and a smoke plume?).

These are the same feature; how you choose to render it is the job of styling - and styling will let you decide which geometry to use (or both of them).
