ogc-example project is tough to get running

[notthatbreezy]

The ogc-example project's application conf includes resources that are not publicly accessible or easily reconfigured.

I think an improvement would be to use CogNode's instead of GeoTrellis layers (even if the resources are still not publicly accessible) since those can at least be more easily substituted in a development environment. This scenario happens sometimes when I've run into bugs/issues with some of the OGC services and had to figure out if the bug existed in my application code or exists in the library -- being able to quickly come up with a proof-of-concept that either reproduces or fails to reproduce the problem can be a blocker in that workflow.

Would it be more helpful to have an easy way to standup an instance of a given service from console for this kind of thing?

For instance:

val service = WcsService.fromMap(
Map(
  "layer1" -> GeoTiffRasterSource(???), 
  "layer2" -> GeoTrellisRasterSource(???))

service.bind("0.0.0.0") // ??? --some kind of one command utility to standup an endpoint

I think that could work, but that's not what I had in mind.

I was thinking the conf idea is still a good one, but having one that is more accessible and easier to get started with maybe a few different examples - and starting the server with one as an argument. Right now there is a lot to edit in the existing example conf and it's not even really possible to switch to using a COG rather than a GT source without making code changes.

I agree with all of that, lets keep this issue specifically for that conf cleanup and breakup work.
