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

[Stefan Keller]

Ok. I now see it's something which can be corrected at the WFS server side
[1].

In Mapserver one can configure:
  gml_geometries "geometry"
  gml_geometry_type "polygon"
... to set the geometry type explicitly to type="gml:polygonPropertyType".

Yours, Stefan
