[OpenLayers-Dev] Connecting to a WFS server

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to a WFS server by means of OpenLayers capabilities.

If it can help, I'm using geoserver 2.1 from the trunk (the one package 
by the opengeo-suite [1]). These tests on the WFS server are OK:

- connect to WFS server by using a desktop client (QGIS) and get a layer
- get a GML file directly from the browser with this query
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?request=getfeature&typename=Galicia:CONCELLO_25

So, it seems the WFS is ok and running. Nevertheless, when I trying to 
connect from OL I failed to use it. The map generated shows the OSM 
baselayer + WMS layer overlay. But not the WFS layer. The code I'm using:

   HTML code: http://pastebin.com/S0E1Wu8C
   Javascript code: http://pastebin.com/nzum0CbJ

I can't figure out why it fails. Any idea?

best,
amaneiro
