[Geoserver-users] Complex FeatureTypes/datastore?

Hi there

How can I dealing complex FeatureTypes with GeoServer 1.5.x? Perhaps I use
the description "complex FeatureTypes" in a false context therefore I will
show my question in an example. I have a simple datastore (only for
demonstration reason, this is a dummy example) like this (pseudo code):

<code>
Table1 contains:
  ID INTEGER (primary key)
  Name TEXT
  Position GEOMETRY

Table2 contains
  ID INTEGER (foreign key, reference to Table1.ID)
  Note TEXT
</code>

Now I will receive with a WMS GetFeatureInfo request the ID, Name, Position
and each available Note. If there already a solution?

Thank you.
Regards, Thomas

Not in 1.5.x. There is one group of developers trying to attack
the problem in Geoserver trunk (with a separate set of modules)
but it's definitely not going to be shipped with Geoserver 1.6.x neither.

The changes needed to support complex features are very extensive,
we'll need to rewrite big parts of both geotools and geoserver
to support them in a general way.

I think developers working against complex features will
get out a demo sometimes this or next week, but it will be just
a technology preview afaik.

Gabriel may be able to provide more details.

Andrea, many thanks to you for your response.
