[udig-devel] can uDig access the wms_abstract attribute?

[Emilio Mayorga <emiliom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using uDig 1.0.0 on Windows. I'm learning how to set up WMS servers, 
and use them in clients. I've set up a simple map file with a Mapserver 
4.0 (yes, ancient) server, with two point layers. Each of the layers has 
a wms_abstract attribute in the LAYER > METADATA element. I can load and 
display the layers in uDig and ArcMap 9.0 without problems. ArcMap will 
show me the wms_abstract attribute, but I can't find a way to see it in 
uDig. Even the layer wms_title seems only partly available: it's used by 
default to assign the layer name, but I can't see it listed when I 
select the layer (under either Layers or Catalog) and go to Analysis > 
Information > Resource Summary.

Am I missing something? I'd like to use uDig as a client for thoroughly 
testing my WMS server implementation.

My WMS layers work fine in all other respects; they play nice with local 
shape files, display the symbology I intended, etc.

Thanks!
