Hello All,
I've looked about but I haven't found any thread discussing this, so forgive me if it has been covered and please point me to the post.
When I use GetFeature I find floating point numbers are being rounded, but only when I have the parameter outputFormat=CSV. I am using GeoServer v2.4.5. I have documented this as a question on gis.stackexchange.com (http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/93194/why-does-geoservers-getfeature-round-my-numbers-but-only-for-outputformat-csv) but I'll reiterate here:
Here's my request as JSON:
http://geothermal.smu.edu:9000/geoserver/gtda-contributions/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=gtda-contributions:UNDRadiogenicHeat&maxFeatures=1&outputFormat=application/json
...and an excerpt from the response. Note the values for latitude and longitude:
{
"type" : "FeatureCollection",
"totalFeatures" : 343,
"features" : [{
"type" : "Feature",
"id" : "UNDRadiogenicHeat.2540ea6b-f94a-3088-9b32-762c77a8e57f",
"geometry" : {
"type" : "Point",
"coordinates" : [-92.79726665, 47.90752513]
},
"geometry_name" : "shape",
"properties" : {
"latitude" : 47.90752513,
"longitude" : -92.79726665,
...
Now the same request with outputFormat=cvs:
http://geothermal.smu.edu:9000/geoserver/gtda-contributions/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=gtda-contributions:UNDRadiogenicHeat&maxFeatures=1&outputFormat=csv
...and an except of the response. The same portion of the data has been rounded off (48 instead of 47.90752513, and -93 instead of -92.79726665). (I added the spaces for easy legibility):
FID, latitude, longitude,...
UNDRadiogenicHeat.2540ea6b-f94a-3088-9b32-762c77a8e57f, 48, -93,...
I've looked for configurations that might cause this, but I see none. I know there are filters that could do this, but I get the impression that these need to be explicitly requested, and the above requests do not include filters.
Is there something I'm overlooking? Is there some way that GeoServer is treating the data so glaringly differently just because I'm requesting CSV?
Thank you for any insights.
