Environment: web admin tool
Description:
I'm not sure that this is really needed, because it's such an obscure option, it was added as a hack for cite tests. What it does is append gml: on to name, description and boundedBy. The problem is that it often does the wrong thing on normal features, and therefor should not be used most of the time. Like if you have an attribute called 'name' it will just get a gml: prefix, and thus will be invalid. It's only when you define name in the first attributes that it will be correct. So it's sorta a bad option to make available to people, as they'll be like 'gml prefixing, that sounds like a good thing!'. If this was better implemented in geotools gml writer this wouldn't be such a problem - but the geotools gmlPrefixing is really naïve, it doesn't take the position into account.
So if we do decide that the ui should be able to do everything that the config files does then a message like this should be in the help box:
> <!-- Sets whether name, description and boundedBy elements should have a
> gml: prefix instead of the standard one for the feature. It is a bit
> of a hack, and should generally only be used with the cite tests for
> now. In other words, if you're not looking specifically for this option
> you should just leave it set to false. In the future it should be done
> automatically. -->
