Re: [Geoserver-users] GeoServer and beeldblad

[Chris H. <ch...@op...>]

Ok, can you put in a feature request?

Thinking about it, you can just edit the epsg database that GeoServer 
uses, removing all the unwanted projections.

The hard part is really the UI, both conceptually and actually 
implementing in our hard to code struts web stuff.  Try to include as 
much detail as possible in how you see this working in the feature 
request Bart.  Per layer/whole server?  Select from a list of all 
possible, or enter the numbers of the ones you want?

Alex, did you ever make progress on your web interface to add 
projections?  Perhaps we could extend that idea to remove things as 
well.  Or to just put some as 'ignore' in the capabilities document...
