AW: [mapguide-users] Consumption of WFS feature requests

[Matthias Liechti]

Hi Chis and Thomas
 
The problems seem definitively to be related to the "keywords" parameter field in the WFS service properties in MapGuide Studio. Once I fill in values both the GetCapabilities request and the GetFeature request work fine. It works also with the original Server/Wfs/OgcWfsServer.config.awd file therefore I've restored that version. 
 
One point that I would like to mention is that the Browser should be closed and re-opened after applying the changes in the service properties box. Otherwise the script might still throw exceptions.

	Hi Matthias,

	 

	Are you still having problems with WFS?

	 

	One client reported the same problem as you, and was able to work around it by setting keywords for each WFS feature source. The problem only occurred if the keyword field was left empty in Studio.

	 

	It should also be possible to edit the template to fix the problem.

	 

	Let me know if you still need help with this.

	 

	Chris Claydon.

	Hi Thomas

	 

	Adding the definitions below shows the following results:

	 

	http://127.0.0.1/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?REQUEST=GETCAPABILITIES&SERVICE=WFS

	 

	Invalid argument(s): [1] = "const string&" The string is invalid and cannot be converted.

	Hi Matthias,

	 

	The descriptions your providing look like it could be a mismatch between the OGC templates and the source code.  Are you getting the source and building, or are these from the downloaded installs?

	 

	Here’s a quick fix to suppress the warnings if you need to move forward, but some further investigation is in order, because this could be symptoms of something else amiss.

	 

	1. Look for the file Server/Wfs/OgcWfsServer.config.awd in your install.  Use a text editor (such as notepad, or vi or the like) to edit this file. (Don’t use a word processor, though!)

	2. Look for the line that reads </Definitions> which is about half way down the file.

	3. Add the following statements before the </Definitions> element, so that you have something that looks like this:

	 

	<Define item=”Feature.Keywords”></Define>

	<Define item=”GetFeature.FeatureCollection”></Define>

	</Definitions>

	 

	This should prevent the error messages from occurring, but like I said, we should figure out why they’re happening on your system in the first place.

	 

	- Thomas

	Hi

	I've successfully exposed some WMS layers from MGOS to the public. Now I tried to publish a feature resource to the public through the WFS interface. Unfortunately both getting the capabilities and requesting a features failed. I've used the following Request parameters:

	 

	Get capabilities:

	http://127.0.0.1/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?REQUEST=GETCAPABILITIES&SERVICE=WFS

	 

	error message:

	Reference to undefined entity 'Feature.Keywords'. Error processing resource 'http://127.0.0.1/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fc...

	      <Keyword>&Feature.Keywords;</Keyword>
	----------------^

	 

	Get Feature:

	http://127.0.0.1/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=Data/zgn_f

	 

	error message:

	Reference to undefined entity 'GetFeature.FeatureCollection'. Error processing resource 'http://127.0.0.1/mapguide/mapagent...

	   &GetFeature.FeatureCollection;
	----^

	Can anyone give me some hints to successfully set up WFS requests? Does the consumption of WFS feautres already work in Map2007?

	 

	Thanks

	Matthias
