[OpenLayers-Users] WFS Layer / Vector Layer

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Hi,

don't use the namespace prefix in the featuretype.

    {
        url:  "/MyApp/Proxy.ashx",
        featureType: "boundary",
        featurePrefix: "mystore",
        version: "1.1.0"
    })

If this does not work, try specifying the featureNS (so the corresponding
URI) explicityl.

Best regards,
Bart
