[Geoserver-users] Inserting via WFS-T into an empty featuretype (shapefile or oracle based) fails

Hi list,

I have experienced a strange behaviour when inserting features through WFS-T into both shapefile or oracle spatial based datastores.

The first WFS-T insert on an empty featuretype completes successfully (according to the WFS-T response xml), and a record is written into either the shapefile or the dataset. Yet the features geometry seems to get lost during the process of inserting, a common GetFeatures response would look like:

<my-ns:my-ft gml:id=“my-ft.1”>
my-ns:THE_GEOM
<gml:MultiSurface srsDimension=“2” srsName=“http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#25832”>
gml:surfaceMember
<gml:Polygon srsDimension=“2”>
gml:exterior
<gml:LinearRing srsDimension=“2”>
gml:posList0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0</gml:posList>
</gml:LinearRing>
</gml:exterior>
</gml:Polygon>
</gml:surfaceMember>
</gml:MultiSurface>
</my-ns:THE_GEOM>
</my-ns:my-ft>

The second insert however, will produce correct geometries that can both be viewed and also be edited.

I am using GeoServer 2.1.4 and WFS 1.1.0.

Thanks for any help and best regards,
Marc

Hi all,

sorry for the noise.

GeoServer does everything as expected once you speak to it in a sensible way. My WFS-T inserts were specifying the featuretype in the insert-operation wrong when the first read operation against that WFS would return an empty collection.

Note to self and possibly helpful for future readers: If you use OpenLayers 2's Protocol.WFS for generating the requests, be sure to specify 'geometryName' when you are using WFS 1.1.0. This possibly needs to be adressed somehow over at the OpenLayers library.

So no problem from geoserver (as usual).

Thanks,

Marc
