Hi geoserver list,
now that i successful tested the wfs-t abilities of geoserver with our data infrastructure, i wanted to build an application on it. I need to insert new points into a point-featureType and edit the attributes related to it. I could now create a webclient based on a jsp-application to do that job, but thats a bigger task to cope with. Before i do this, i wanted to have a look if anyone has experiences with a generic wfs-t client that does the same job (1. set a point, 2. serve the attributes in a table to edit it + write back to the database). I know about udig which should do the job, but when testing it, i got no connection to my wfs (it said that there are errors in the connection parameter). The wfs-t example that comes with geoserver with openLayers does only half of the job with setting a point (and also that example didn’t work for me). Does anyone know some other suitable clients to do that job?
Thanks
Albrecht

Hum, what url did you give uDig? I've just tried out GeoServer 1.7.0-beta1 and uDig 1.1-rc12, the connection worked fine
by providing it with the capabilities link:
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&request=GetCapabilities
The wfs-t example that comes with geoserver with openLayers does only half of the job with setting a point (and also that example didn't work for me). Does anyone know some other suitable clients to do that job?
Yeah, it's a known bug (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1955), it
happens to work only in older browsers. We should upgrade to OL 2.6.
I've heard that there's a Jump variant (OpenJump I believe) that does
support wfs editing, but afaik it has been developed against
DeeGree and it does not really work with GeoServer.

OK, my fault :o/ I just took the URL (like udig was asking me for!):
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/ows. I didn't know it wanted the
capabilities-request. Now it works for me too. Thanks!
But anyway. If anyone had success with another tool - please let me
know!!
TOPP has developed various WFS-T applications with OL, they do
work fine as far as I know, but it still takes an OL wiz to set
them up properly (and OL 2.6 if your want FF3 to work).
