[mapguide-internals] Raster Layer Default Extents

[Traian Stanev]

Hi Frank. 

I was able to make it work correctly. The problem was that MapGuide
(incorrectly) uses the string returned by GetCoordinateSystem() to
determine if a spatial context is defined. The GDAL provider returns
empty string for GetCoordinateSystem() so MapGuide doesn't even try to
read the values from the spatial context. I changed your
GetCoordinateSystem() to simply return the same value as the name of the
spatial context and it started working fine.

Also, I recommend making the DefaultRasterLocation property "required"
so that it shows up in the generic connection dialog in MapGuide Studio.
This way it makes it easy for someone using Studio to set up a GDAL
connection. It's strange that properties that are not explicitly
"required" don't show up in the Studio UI, but oh well.

Jason,

In this case I was using the "no xml config" option.  That is, just
giving a DefaultRasterFileLocation property value when connecting.
So there shouldn't be any alternative configuration xml.
