[mapserver-users] Defining Field Types in WFS

[Burgholzer, Robert (DEQ)]

We are having trouble with our WFS service, trying to define data field types as Numeric.  Our mapserver version is 5.6.3.  Currently, our field types all come out as String when viewed in ArcGIS, and when we try to set the field to a Real type, using the syntax shown in Ex 1 the service breaks, Ex 2 shows the working layer, and Ex 3 shows the full, working layer definition.

Any help would be most appreciated,
r.b.


Ex 1 - BREAKS the Service:

   METADATA
      "wfs_title"    "Water Supply Plan System Information Test" ## REQUIRED
      "wfs_srs"           "EPSG:4326" ## REQUIRED
      "gml_featureid" "system_nid" ## REQUIRED
      "gml_include_items" "all"  ## Optional (serves all attributes for layer)
      "wfs_enable_request" "*"
     "wfs_version" "1.0.0"
      "gml_current_mgy_type" "Real"
   END


Ex 2 - WORKS but gives all type String

   METADATA
      "wfs_title"    "Water Supply Plan System Information Test" ## REQUIRED
      "wfs_srs"           "EPSG:4326" ## REQUIRED
      "gml_featureid" "system_nid" ## REQUIRED
      "gml_include_items" "all"  ## Optional (serves all attributes for layer)
      "wfs_enable_request" "*"
     "wfs_version" "1.0.0"
   END

Ex 3 - FULL Layer definitions:

LAYER
   NAME wsp_system_info_test
   METADATA
      "wfs_title"    "Water Supply Plan System Information Test" ## REQUIRED
      "wfs_srs"           "EPSG:4326" ## REQUIRED
      "gml_featureid" "system_nid" ## REQUIRED
      "gml_include_items" "all"  ## Optional (serves all attributes for layer)
      "wfs_enable_request" "*"
     "wfs_version" "1.0.0"
      "gml_current_mgy_type" "Real"
   END

   END
   TOLERANCE 10
   PROJECTION
   # EPSG SRID = 4326
     "init=epsg:4326"
   END
END
