Hi,<br>
<br>
We are exposing some spatial data using GeoServer WFS. This data is
being rendered and edited using QGIS. We ran a small packet-capture
test to see how are transactions handled. The observations were as
below:<br>
<ul>
<li>4 separate requests were sent to WFS server</li>
<li>The 4 requests have no common handle/identifier to signal they
are part of the same transaction<br>
</li>
<li>The requests are for:</li>
<ul>
<li>Update Attributes for all features where attributes were
changed<br>
</li>
<li>Insert new features</li>
<li>Update geometry for all features where geometry were changed</li>
<li>Delete features</li>
</ul>
<li>WFS specification for Transaction operation supports
combination of Update, Insert and Delete as part of a single
request</li>
</ul>
<p>Are our inferences correct? If so, can the WFS plugin be
customized to send all changes in a single Transaction request?<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Sunil<br>
