Description



Highlights
----------

- New service provider for VOBOX
- Enable/Disable Service discovery for the WMS/LB in the UI

Service Discovery
------------------

The new optional variable UIWMS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY can be set to 'yes' if you want to enable service discovery in the UI. The following uses cases are possible now:

1) Admin does not set UIWMS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY or WMS_HOST. 

Then UIWMS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY is set to 'yes' and service discovery is enabled. 

2) Admin does not set UIWMS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY but does set 
WMS_HOST. 

Then UIWMS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY is set to 'no' and the WMS is configured.

3) Admin sets UIWMS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY to no and specifies 
a WMS host. 

Same as (2) 

4) Admin sets UIWMS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY to yes and a WMS host. 

Configuration contains static WMS hosts with the fall back 
to service discovery. 

5) Admin sets UIWMS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY to yes and does not 
specify a WMS host. 

Same as (1). 

6) Admin sets UIWMS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY to no and doesn't specify a WMS host. 

YAIM will complain, a WMS_HOST is required.
