[Geomoose-users] GM 2.6 and WFS-T editing

[Johan Forsman]

All:

I am having a bit of an issue enabling the new WFS-T editing functions in GM 2.6.

I'll preface by saying this is all on IIS 7.5, which is in itself a bit of a challenge, but GM 2.6 is working overall as far as displaying map data.

I have GeoServer 2.1.4 installed as a Windows service on port 8080, with the data stored in PostGIS.

Setting up proxy and reverse proxy with URL re-writing on IIS is not especially trivial, but it appears to be working as I can edit the features of interest with WFS-T from QGIS 1.8 against this server. I tried editing both via a connection directly to the 8080 port, and also via a connection to the re-written URL. Both appear to work as intended. This one may need additional testing. On IIS it's far more complicated than the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse directives suggested for Apache in the GM documentation.

I used the GM documentation and edited the mapbook to point to the proper workspace/store/layer on this server.

The closest I have come to identify a "culprit" is this line in the mapbook:

<url>/geoserver/eng_svcs/ows</url>

which I only edited by replacing the "GeoMOOSE_Testing" workspace name from the original demo mapbook.

Firebug tells me the call being made by GM is

http://"hostname_removed"/geoserver/eng_svcs/ows

which tells me the URL re-writing is working, but it never seems to complete. The Firebug wheel spins eternally.

Using that URL directly in Firefox results in

<ows:ExceptionReport version="1.0.0" xsi:schemaLocation=http://www.opengis.net/ows http://<http://www.opengis.net/ows%20http:/>ip_address_removed":8080/geoserver/schemas/ows/1.0.0/owsExceptionReport.xsd">
<ows:Exception exceptionCode="InvalidParameterValue" locator="service">
<ows:ExceptionText>No service: ( ows )</ows:ExceptionText>
</ows:Exception>
</ows:ExceptionReport>

If I use the WFS request that is inside the CDATA in the mapbook the server returns what appears  to be valid data for the specified layer.

The ip address in the exception report and the hostname in the OWS call is the same server.

Please advise.

Thanks!
Johan.
