Returning versioning attributes in insert request response
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1956
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1956
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Versioning
Reporter: Sebastian Benthall
Assignee: Andrea Aime
In WFS-T, when a feature is inserted, the server provides the server-assigned fid of the feature the response to the transaction request. This is useful for the client because if they want to keep their local data synchronized with that which is on the server, they need that fid; but the only other way to get this fid would be an additional GetFeature request.
The versioning attributes (i.e. creationVersion, lastUpdateDate) are analogous to fid in that they are assigned by the versioning back end, from which the client needs to retrieve it, one way or the other. It would be be much more convenient--saving the client an extra request--if those versioning attributes could be provided in the response to the transaction like fid.
