Tthe correct way to configure GeoExplorer is to do it like in the
example, i.e. only provide a layer name. The layer name has to
correspond with a layer in the capabilities document that is loaded
with GeoExplorer. Currently, all layers in GeoExplorer have to come
from one WMS, i.e. information about all layers has to be in one
capabilities document.

Regards,
Andreas.
