Hello Geoserver Users List,
I encountered a scenario that I’d like to report. When attempting to post a WFS-T XML to GeoServer, I inadvertently mistyped one of the insert tags (see highlighted in yellow below). In the Geoserver log, I saw that it couldn’t resolve the incorrect insert tag and ignored it. It then proceeded to process the subsequent insert in the transaction with success. GeoServer responded back to the client with success and the fid of the successful insert. Would there be any negative ramifications if the server simply failed the entire transaction and reported back to the user that the request was failed because it could not resolve some tags found in the request. I’ll gladly provide any additional test data you may require upon reviewing this. Thanks to the GeoServer community for such a great product!
