Hello all,
I am trying out GeoServer 1.6.0 RC3, because I need a WFS server with support for WFS 1.1. The reason for this is that I want to use complex (nested) feature types. Could anyone explain how one can configure a complex feature type in GeoServer 1.6? Or is it in the documentation somewhere? I could not find it in the user manual.
It does not seem possible with the GUI, but I don't mind editing the configuration files (schema.xml) directly.
Regards,
Frans

We do support WFS 1.1 only with simple features, there is no requirement
to have complex features in anyone of the WFS standard.
There is an experimental module with some support for complex features,
it's a little hard to build as far as I know, but we have some adventorous user (user == a java programmer in fact) that is working
on it.
Anyways, I'll leave Gabriel Roldan, the complex feature extension
developer, to address your needs in more details. Gabriel, is there
any guide on how to use the community schema modules?
Cheers
Andrea
Hi Andrea,
Thank you for making it clear that at the moment GeoServer WFS does not support complex features. I thought that this would come along with support for GML 3. I think I have found the information on the Complex DataStore project you are referring to: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Complex+Datastore
Maybe I will give the Complex DataStore a try..
Regards,
Frans
