Hi,

You can try if you can have success with my server http://hip.latuviitta.org/cgi-bin/tinyows
Kosmo GIS which is an excellent open source GIS client for WFS creates the following request. Compare and see if you'll find something interesting.

Here is the Request payload that gets posted to TinyOWS:

My TinyOWS error log shows:


  1.
  2.  [Thu Jan 23 04:45:19 2014] [ERROR] Element '{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}import': Failed to locate a schema at location 'https://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/kala/tinyows.cgi?service=WFS&request=DescribeFeatureType&version=1.0.0'. Skipping the import.
  3.
  4.  [Thu Jan 23 04:45:19 2014] [ERROR] Element '{https://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/}mk_city_centre': This element is not expected. Expected is one of ( {http://www.opengis.net/gml}_Feature, {http://www.opengis.net/wfs}FeatureCollection ).
  5.
  6.  [Thu Jan 23 04:45:19 2014] [ERROR] XML request isn't valid
  7.



Here's my tinyows.xml configuration file:

<tinyows online_resource="https://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/kala/tinyows.cgi"
         schema_dir="/usr/local/share/tinyows/schema/"
         log="/tmp/tinyows.log"
         log_level="1">
  <pg host="localhost" user="postgres" password="*********" dbname="LAHTI" port="5432"/>

  <metadata name="TinyOWS Server"
            title="Lahti Urban  WFS Server" />

  <layer retrievable="1"
         writable="1"
         ns_prefix="tows"
         ns_uri="https://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/"
         name="subwatersheds"
         title="subwatersheds" />

 <layer retrievable="1"
         writable="1"
         ns_prefix="tows"
         ns_uri="https://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/"
         name="mk_city_centre"
         title="Lahti City Centre"
         exclude_items="the_geom3880" />
</tinyows>

And finally, here is my OpenLayers editing client javascript code snippet:

  var saveStrategy = new OpenLayers.Strategy.Save();
  saveStrategy.events.register("success", '', showSuccessMsg);
  saveStrategy.events.register("fail", '', showFailureMsg);
  wfs = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Editable Features", {
      strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX(), saveStrategy],
      projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:3857"),
      protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
          version: "1.0.0",
          srsName: "EPSG:3857",
          url: "https://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/kala/tinyows.cgi",
          featureNS :  "https://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/",
          featureType: "mk_city_centre",
          geometryName: "the_geom3857"
          //schema: "https://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/kala/tinyows.cgi?service=wfs&version=1.0.0&request=DescribeFeatureType&typeName=tows:mk_city_centre"
      })
  });


I've never used TinyOWS before. Any Ideas what I'm doing wrong? Especially the error message
Element '{https://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/}mk_city_centre': This element is not expected. Expected is one of ( {http://www.opengis.net/gml}_Feature, {http://www.opengis.net/wfs}FeatureCollection ).

is confusing.

Thanks in advance for any hints or suggestions how to solve the problem.
