[Geoserver-devel] Cascading WFS?

Andrea,
You mentioned before that there is Cascading WFS code in Geoserver, but that it only worked with Mapserver, it didn't cascade a Mapserver.

I forgot to ask if the Cascading WFS can proxy queries and responses to MULTIPLE WFSs or can it only cascade to one WFS?

Afaik it cascaded MapServer, but not Geoserver itself due to a bug
in typename parsing (that is, if the typename was plain it worked, if
it was namespace:name it failed).

WFS datastore is just like any other datastores, so you can configure
as many as you want and thus cascade many servers... if it only
worked properly, that is...

Thinking about it, maybe I'm wrong... does MapServer support WFS 1.0?
If not, we cannot cascade that one neither...

MapServer's not spec compliant on WFS 1.0, but I think the WFS datastore does read it, so it should work?

I'm going over my schedules now.
It looks like I have funding to work on Cascading WFS.
If we were to try and get this into release 1.6, what would be the drop dead date for getting the functionality into the trunk?

If we miss 1.6, is there likely to be another release before 31 August?

Well, it all depends on what you need. If all you need is to cascade
and be happy with WFS 1.0 output, we could try to include this in Geoserve 1.5.2 or 1.5.3.
Otherwise, not sure about a date for 1.6.1, thought there's probably
interest in releasing one soon before FOSS4G.
