Hi,
In Geoserver, is there a way to configure the field format (in particular the length) of the shapefile extracted by WFS? Currently the length of the text field is defaulted to be 254 and the numeric fields such as Double is defaulted to be 32 in precision and 31 in scale. This is fine when the extracted shapefile contains only small amount of features but as the number of features increases the shapefile size grows and the extract speed slows down so it would be nice if I can reduce the default length of the text field.
I am using GeoServer 2.1.3.
Thanks,
Chenglin

No, at the moment it’s not configurable
