Hi Daniel,

thanks for the reply. One thing I noticed is that it seems to be a 
problem with my SDE layers - with shapefiles the GetCapabilities work. I 
will test some more things and file a bug maybe next week.

Perhaps anyone from the list who works with SDE can comment on this.

Best regards,
Norbert
