[OpenLayers-Users] beforefeaturemodified not firing

[Jim White]

I am attempting to configure an Editable WFS Layer according to example 
at workshops.opengeo.org. The layer is a postgis linestring served by 
geoserver.

  var saveStrategy = new OpenLayers.Strategy.Save({auto:true})

         var deeds = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Land Grants", {
             strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX(),
                          saveStrategy],
             protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
                 url: "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs",
                 featureType: "deeds"
             }),
             projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326")
         });

         // Panel and edit controls. Hook save to the edit control
         // to clear selection on save.
         var panel = new OpenLayers.Control.Panel(
             {'displayClass': 'customEditingToolbar'}
         );
         var edit = new OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature(deeds, {
             title: "Move parcel",
             displayClass: "olControlModifyFeature",
             mode: OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature.DRAG
         });
         var save = new OpenLayers.Control.Button({
             title: "Save Changes",
             trigger: function() {
                 if(edit.feature) {
                     edit.selectControl.unselectAll();
                 }
                 saveStrategy.save();
               },
             displayClass: "olControlSaveFeatures"
         });

         // Create our tool bar
         panel.addControls([save]);
         map.addControl(panel);

         // Make the only mode be edit mode
         map.addControl(edit);
         edit.activate();



        map.addLayers([ deeds, norfolk, google_physical, osm]);
        map.zoomToMaxExtent();


        deeds.events.on({
             'beforefeaturemodified': function(evt) {
                 console.log("Selected " + evt.feature.id  + " for 
modification");
             },
             'featureselected': function(evt) {
                 console.log("selected feature " + evt.feature.id);
             }
           });

When I click a feature the featureselected event fires, but the layer is 
not editable and the beforefeaturemodified event does not fire.

Please help!
