New artifact details:
---------------------------------------------------------

- Description set to new value
  Please create a method that returns a linear representation of geometries with polygon or multipolygon geometry type.  Alternately, add a parameter to the feature query that allows degrading the results to either points or lines.
- Summary set to new value
  Create method to convert geometry from polygon to line
- Justification set to new value
  Goals:
 - store data once
 - return data in most efficient format

In my case, I want to be able to use a polygonal layer (with shading) in the viewer, while returning a line when displaying via the API for Google Earth.  I can hack this with a regular expression string replace on the WKT text but it would be much more convenient and efficient if this was provided out of the box.
