Contributions summary:Damon primarily focused on modifying Solr query logic within the DDF framework, specifically addressing issues related to parenthesis usage that caused exceptions. They removed the creation of parentheses in Solr queries to resolve exceptions and added a complex query for testing purposes. Furthermore, they modified code to allow WMS server configuration to support a standalone DDF proxy and made changes to the Standard UI configuration to use the proxy service. This includes the modification of properties and geospatial controllers within the standard UI to support the proxy.
