Comment (by waltweltonlair):

 I don't think validation of the feature source name should be done.  If
 I'm creating a new layer then I should be able to upload the layer
 definition and feature source resources in any order.  If we validate the
 feature source name then I'd have to upload the feature source first.
 Furthermore, even with validation you can't prevent layers from having
 invalid feature source references since you could later delete a
 referenced feature source.

 Of course the server should gracefully handle the case when a layer's
 feature source is not found.  This means:
  * not crashing
  * throwing the proper exception
  * logging a message to the error log
