[gdal-dev] Missing geometry type when using ogr2ogr to write FileGDB

[Stefan Keller]

Many thanks for the quick reply, Even!

You're right, it seems to work with Shapefile - but not for the WFS reader
(and own server) we are testing...

Below you find the GML output of our WFS source.

So is the "fault" in the WFS reader - or even in our WFS Response XML?

Yours, Stefan
