[Geoserver-devel] complex features (DataStore <-> DataAccess)

Hi,
I've heard that complex attributes are on the way (in a branch or so), are
these works officially avaiable ?
I've to implement an WFS 3.1.x application schema featuring featues with
complex attributes, so I'm not able to use the standard
SimpleFeatureType/SimpleFeature scenario.

kind regards
manfred

Ben will reply with more details but yes,the work is going on on trunk, the unstable development branch. Ben has been doing some great work there moving toward complex feature support.

Enterprise support for open source geospatial.

Please consider identifying the target schema, so the community has a
better sense of the emerging requirements. given that you havce
targetted WFS 3.1 - I presume you mean GML 3.1 - I guess its not an
INSPIRE schema?

Iif you are really keen on it working out of the box when it comes,
compare the test cases in the app-schemas GeoTools module against your
schema to see if there are cases and data types for which no unit test
has been made.

It is possible to start testing using the Geotools environment if you
are willing to invest in running it under eclipse. I think it is
nearly possible to do it in Geoserver - Ben has been doing som work on
setting up test cases for Geoserver, but I dont think we have a easy
to use test configuration you can tweak yet - but this will be a
priority th

Support for complex features is under active development on trunk. There is as yet no official release that supports complex features.

There is a fork of the 1.6 branch that has some support for complex features. It is unsupported. No further development is being done on this fork (the underlying code has been ported to trunk). The WAR file may be obtained here:

Associated configurations are here:

your right, it's a GML 3.1 application schema, maybe I'm lost in specifications
:wink:
