Hi all,
I've done some looking around at the mailing list archive and general web
looking for graphical wfs renderers to be used as client applications for
viewing and editing wfs. Several exist but i am having no luck in getting
anything to display maps from my geoserver installation (or any other wfs I
try). Clients tried include ArcExplorer, ArcGS with interop extension,
Geomedia Viewer, FME Universal Viewer, UMN MapServer (cascading a WFS) and
geoclientx bombs which with javascript error messages.
Also tried ArcIMS wfs and UMN Mapserver as WFS servers with these clients
to no success.. everything looks ok in the web browser, but no client
action.
Has anyone found a reliable wfs client / server pair which work, commercial
or non ?

We were actually talking about this very problem at the OGC meeting today.
Basically all the clients and servers need to get in a room and try things
out with one another, figure out what works and what needs to be improved.
Moximedia has a client that _uses_ wfs, but it does not actually do the
rendering from gml, instead it just uses a WMS to do the rendering, a WFS
for information queries and transactions. Check the third story on
http://geoserver.sf.net for information and links to the demos.
The OGC is planning on funding an integrated WMS/WFS/WCS/Wect. client with
the next OWS, but I'm not even sure if it will actually render the GML
directly, it may rely on WMS rendering as moximedia's IMF.

We have a proposal submitted right now for a unified internet GIS client to GeoConnections, which would include WFS read/write, some web registry stuff, WMS client, etc. Hopefully with some luck we will be up and working on that in the next 4-6 months. We are trying to put funding together from multiple agencies, so we can do more for everyone, with less money from each (if you catch my drift).

Hi Paul,
would this become a brand new initiative/project, or will it be based on an existing Open Source client framework like e.g. Chameleon from DmSolutions (a lot of things are already in there)? If not have you consider this approach?
Best regards,
Bart

It will be based on a best-of-breed combination of GeoTools, JUMP, and Eclipse (and other OSS Java libs that make sense). Detailed design beyond that has not progressed. 
I have attached a portion of the proposal we submitted for your interest.
