</div>I am not sure if such implicit (automatic) registration would be good.<br>
Imagine that you have several web services. You would like to run a<br>
public WMS server and also another bunch of services for a limited<br>
group of users. Having all the services available in both instances<br>
would not be very good - e.g. with a WMS server you may automatically<br>
provide WPS server.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Looking at similar architectures, Geoserver seems to work this way, leaving to a security/configuration layer to enable and control the availability of the extensions.</div>
<div>Anyway, we can avoid an automatic discovering, and control their exposure through a configuration system (eg a simple configurations file).</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

</div>As noted in an earlier mail this is mostly just a matter of providing<br>
wrappers for the server/service interfaces.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
