[OpenLayers-Users] wfs-t

[chris Wild]

Hi Chris,
Having trouble figuring out how to adapt the example from a new vector to
existing layer.

tried this

wfs = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Editable Features", {

strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX(), saveStrategy],

projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:27200"),

protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({

version: "1.1.0",

srsName: "EPSG:27200",

url: "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs",

typename: 'topp:ttlines',

featureNS : 'http://www.openplans.org/topp',

featureType: "restricted",

geometryName: "the_geom",

schema: "
http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wfs/DescribeFeatureType?version=1.1.0&typename=og:restricted
"

})

});
But not correct, any suggestions or pointer to examples using existing
layer.

Thanks
Chris
