[OpenLayers-Users] "Trimming" attribute table output in .csv

[Julius Sempio]

Good day sires.

We're trying to play around with Geoserver's GetFeature function to save a
.csv file of a feature's attribute fields. The function below does exactly
that:

function generateFeatureTable(feature){
    var featureTableURL = "
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/prism/wfs?REQUEST=GetFeature&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&TYPENAME=prism:"
+ feature + "&OUTPUTFORMAT=csv&SRSNAME=epsg:4326";
    window.open(featureTableURL);
}

The problem is that the .csv file is also including "the_geom" as one of
its fields. If we make use of the PROPERTYNAME argument to specify the
fields we like to include in the table, we would have to specify each and
every field name excluding that of "the_geom".

Any ideas on how to specify the ones you would NOT want to include in the
output file?

We will highly appreciate the insights you can provide us.
