[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-4351) Support wms:GetFeatureInfo with complex features

Support wms:GetFeatureInfo with complex features
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-4351
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4351
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Niels Charlier
            Assignee: Niels Charlier

wms:GetFeatureInfo doesn't work with complex features.

There are currently three possible output formats for wms:GetFeatureInfo,

*1) text/plain
*2) text/html
*3) application/vnd.ogc.gml -> GML 2

(1) will support complex features in a very simple matter (basic string representation of the objects)

(2) will be accomplished by extending the template functionality to support the handling the data of complex features.

GML 2 cannot output complex features. Therefore a fourth option will be added:

*4) application/vnd.ogc.gml/3.1.1 -> GML 3

Option (3) will thus NOT support complex features. Option (4) will support simple as well as complex features, though.

These changes will require changes to the documentation, too.
