Interface Capability

All Known Implementing Classes:

Capability_Impl

public interface Capability

The element of the Capabilities XML names the actual operations that are supported by the service instance, the output formats offered for those operations, and the URL prefix for each operation. The XML DTD includes placeholders for Distributed Computing Platforms other than HTTP, and request methods other that HTTP GET, but currently only HTTP GET is defined for a basic WMS.

Ignorable vendor-specific elements may be included. An SLD WMS would also include a element and URLs for HTTP POST requests.
