Support gt2 Features as an output format.
------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-324
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-324
Project: GeoServer
Type: Wish
Components: WFS
Reporter: Chris Holmes
Assigned to: Chris Holmes
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.4
GML is a bulky format, but a WFS is not in fact completely tied to GML. It can support other output formats. It could be nice to support returning serialized (or maybe pickled, need to experiment) Features directly to the client. This would obviously only be useful for clients written in gt2, but there are a decent number of people doing exactly that. Returning Features directly should save a lot of space, and time, since no transformations to and from formats would be needed. This could also be a nice udig + geoserver optimization - if you're working against a geoserver server on udig it could default to the faster transport mechanism. Trevor Stone has done some work with serializing Features. See http://geotools.org/SerializableFeatures
