[OpenLayers-Dev] Adding Feature to WFS in Vector Layer / Copying Features

[Fabian Patzke]

Hi,
i tried to find an answer in the ol.users list before [1], but didn't get
any. maybe some one here can give me some hint.

Old Message:
I try to build a copy function so that a user can select some features from
a
WFS and copy them to another.

My WFS are not normal WFS Layers they are build in Vector Layers

wfsLayer [layerArray[j].name] = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector (
  ...
  {
    strategies: [
       new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed({preload:false}),
       new OpenLayers.Strategy.Save({
         ...
       ],
    projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:31467"),
    protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({...})
  },
  ...
);

I made a function to select features from a WFS, these features are
temporarily
stored in a normal Vector layer ("select"). This function is build after:
http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/getfeature-wfs.html

Another function is called after the end of selecting features, the user has
to
end selecting manually. This should be the copy function. The function
should
take all features from the "select" layer and copy them over to the wfsLayer
from above.
That is all I have so far:

function copySelectedFeatures (wfsLayer){
  features = select.features;
  for (i=0;i<features.length;i++){
    var feature = features[i];
    layer.addFeatures([feature]);
    layer.strategies[1].save(feature);
  }
}

Is this the correct approach, I have included the line:
    layer.strategies[1].save(feature);
because I thought it would commit newly added features, but it wont work. No
feature is ever added.

Any help is welcome :)
Thanks in forward.

My transaction is getting more and more
complete. But the Coordinates are still missing.
If anybody has an idea it would be great ;)

<wfs:Transaction
  xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs"
  service="WFS"
  version="1.0.0"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs
http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-transaction.xsd http://www.FOO.BLA
http://FOO:8080/geoserver/wfs?Service=WFS&Request=DescribeFeatureType&
version=1.0.0&typename=foo:bla"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <wfs:Insert>
    <feature:bla
      xmlns:feature="http://FOO.BLA">
      <feature:the_geom>
        <gml:MultiPolygon
          xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
          srsName="EPSG:31467"/>
      </feature:the_geom>
    </feature:bla>
  </wfs:Insert>
</wfs:Transaction>

Before I try to commit a newly added feature I print out FID an geometry of
the
last features of the layer I added to.
As you can see below, I get the last
feature that has been in the layer before the add (FID: bla.203) and the
newly
added (FID: null).
So I do not get the reason why no geometry is in the transaction.

FID: bla.203 #202: MULTIPOLYGON(((3440276.57 5791250.12,3440243.1

Any help would be nice.
