[mapserver-dev] [WFS] define the geometry column in WFS as datasource

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Would be nice to have separate pull requests then (my rationale for 1 ticket)...

I agree with Thomas, those two issues are not related each other.

I will do more test tomorrow for the namespace part with MapServer and next week with ArcGIS if possible.

I'm going to have to disagree a bit with Steve here: please open two
distinct pull requests as those seem to be very unrelated issues, so
we can decide to incorporate one or the other independently.

thanks,
thomas

I think once we get a look at the changes we can make a decision on if and when to include the changes. The metadata addition doesn't seem disruptive since by default things should work as they do now. The other seems, potentially, more disruptive.
