Implement VersionedFeatureCollection
------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1582
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1582
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: WFS
Affects Versions: 1.6.0-RC1
Reporter: Chris Holmes
Assignee: David Winslow
Fix For: 1.7.0-beta1
See http://www.nabble.com/VersionedFeature-ideas-tf4885173.html
A VersionedFeatureCollection was an idea that didn't get fully implemented. But now there's an idea to expand it to include timeCreated, timeUpdated, createdBy and lastUpdatedBy as extra attributes. These should be done with a view (I'm not 100% convinced this is the best way, but don't have a better idea). These properties are read-only - if a client tries to return them GeoServer should throw an error (and will), clients should match their edits against the non-versioned feature collection, not the versioned. The versioned feature collection should be thought of as a way to get some extra meta information on the versions.
Later we could see if GeoServer could gracefully ignore extra params that clients might try to include. But for now I think it's fine if it just raises an error.
