[Geoserver-users] WFS-T and dateformats?

Hello!

Below is two examples of XML code for WFS-T Insert and WFS-T Update that I’ve used. Both of them works but look at the dateformat, I can’t use the same dateformat for the insert-xml as in the update-xml, if I do that I’ll get IllegalArgumentExeption “parsing faild for validtime”. I’m using Geoserver 1.6.4. Is it me that’s using the WFS-T in a non-standard way, a bug or is this the normal behaivior?

Oh hum, this is nasty... insert and update are hitting two
different code paths in the xml parser, maybe that could explain
why there is a different behaviour. Sounds like a bug to me,
can you open a request on jira.codehaus.org?

Hi Mårten,

There are a couple of issues here. The reason for the exception is that a "datetime" literal is being used when just a "date" literal is expected, if you drop the time component it should work.

But yes, the code paths are using different methods of parsing the date, which is an issue.

Hello Justin!
I'm not sure what you mean, but the time component is necessary for the functionality of the application that we are buliding, so unfortunately it's not an option to drop it. I just saw that this issue will be fixed to version 1.7.1, I'll make a workaround in the application until then.
