Overview - create a new GeoExt print-provider to work with QGIS Server. This may be a useful component to add to the main GeoExt library.
This issue has been created for discussion on feasibility of this approach.
Currently, the GeoExt.data.MapfishPrintProvider works with the MapFish Print 3 module.
Ideally a similar UI and set of data models would be created to work with a QGIS Server backend.
QGIS print composers are defined in the GetCapabilities request. This would be the equivalent of Mapfish /simple/capabilities.json
QGIS can generate PDFs etc. via the GetPrint request. This would allow a map template to be created in QGIS and then published and populated via a GeoExt print component.
As MapServer is used as the WMS server visible layers in the map would be added as External WMS layers.
Thoughts and suggestions welcome.
