<p><blockquote type="cite">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: "Lewis Oaten" <<a href="mailto:sphyrz@gmail.com">sphyrz@gmail.com</a>><br>Date: 9 Feb 2010 17:09<br>Subject: WFS Not loading<br>
To: <<a href="mailto:users@openlayers.org">users@openlayers.org</a>><br><br>Hi All,<br>
<br>
Excuse me if my etiquette isn't up-to-scratch, this is my first time<br>
posting on this mailing list.<br>
<br>
I have been fighting with a bug for some time when working with<br>
GeoServer, GeoExt and OpenLayers. When I try to load a WFS layer,<br>
nothing happens. No connection attempt is made to the server and no<br>
errors are displayed. If, however, I try to load the same data as WMS,<br>
from the same server with similar parameters, the layer loads<br>
correctly.<br>
<br>
Examples of my code are:<br>
<br>
var geoserverWMS = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(<br>
"Geoserver WMS: Itasca Lakes",<br>
"<a href="http://172.16.172.129:8080/geoserver/wms" target="_blank">http://172.16.172.129:8080/geoserver/wms</a>",<br>
{layers: "prco303:itasca", transparent: "true"},<br>
{isBaseLayer: false, projection: "EPSG:26915"}<br>
);<br>
<br>
var geoserver = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector( "GeoServer WFS:<br>
Itasca Lakes", {<br>
strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX()],<br>
protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({<br>
url: "<a href="http://172.16.172.129:8080/geoserver/wfs" target="_blank">http://172.16.172.129:8080/geoserver/wfs</a>",<br>
featureType: "prco303:itasca",<br>
featureNS: "<a href="http://172.16.172.129" target="_blank">http://172.16.172.129</a>",<br>
})<br>
});<br>
<br>
I have whittled away at the parts of the system until I am attempting<br>
to run the WFS example<br>
(<a href="http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/wfs-states.html" target="_blank">http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/wfs-states.html</a>) on my own server<br>
and am faced with the same problem.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, I have run out of ideas to test next. I would be very<br>
grateful if someone could give me some idea of what I am doing wrong<br>
or at least a suggestion for how to continue debugging.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advanced for your help.<br>
<br>
Yours sincerely,<br>
