It was possible to request dynamically created vector and raster layers 
by giving path/datasource information to the server (tags RemoteRDS / 
RemoveVDS as SLD extension). To avoid potential security risks, the 
option 'Allow defining datasources in server requests' is off by default.

We don't use it in the current projects, so I don't have a strong 
opinion here.
