[Geoserver-users] Grouping featuretypes in WFS

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it´s possible to create groups of feature types in the
WFS configuration? I have 60 layers to publish through the WFS service (not
WMS) and it would be very nice to have them organise in the same way as WMS.

Any ideas on how to work around the problem?

Thanks very much!

Juan Arévalo.

Hi,

That would be a very nice feature. We currently use geoserver and some
servlets above to join separated WFS.

Best regards,
Milos

Unfortunately, at least as far as I know, the WFS spec does not have the concept of grouping, like there is in WMS. So we'd break the schemas if we actually grouped.

I suppose we could just order them the same way as WMS, and put xml comments around them? Would that be sufficient? Or are you wanting it to be meaningful to WFS clients? If that's sufficient then feel free to make a feature request.

best regards,

Chris

Join separated WFS? Can you elaborate on this one? :slight_smile:

Hi,

I was hoping to be meaningful to WFS clients. However, in the meantime I can
follow your advice and write some xml comments.

Thanks,

Juan

Hi,

We use "custom" application above geoserver. it´s a servlet where requests
to geoserver are send one by one and response is directly streamed ... it´s
not by ogc but it serve our need. It wolud be a nice feature to have a
response from geoserver where a call can be a list of WFS layers and
response would be data from more than one WFS.

Or better ... complex type response where more than one table from database
can be served.

Example: complete data for list of parcels (list of parcel parts, owners
list, etc...) - where request would be list of parcels and response would be
several datasets.

Well, with the current GeoServer you can already issue multiple queries
inside the same getfeature request and get back a list of heterogeneous,
disconnected features (each query being independent of the others).

Real complex features and links between them is something we should
be able to have sometimes next year, wfs xlinks relatively soon, one
two months, real complex features later, we don't have plans now
for them (at the moment we are just laying the foundations to be able and support complex features).

Hi,

Any example or "how-to" for multiple queries?
