[OpenLayers-Users] Help in updating WFS features

[Chris O'Connor]

Hello,

I am doing a mapping project at college where I am adding routes onto a map
and generating a route card. I am able to add the route (line) to the
POSTGIS database no problem via Geoserver. The area I'm having a problem is
on the update or modification of the line. Below is the relevant code and
the POST requests generated by both requests. From what I can see it is the
typeName="features" which is causing me the problem as I think it should be
typeName="routes".

Am I right in thinking this is what most likely the problem is and how do I
change this for the request, I have tried putting typeName in several places
but to no avail.

Any help would be most appreciated.

 routes = new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS( "Routes", "
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs", {typename: 'routes:routes'},{
maxExtent: bounds,typename:'routes',extractAttributes: false});

// Map Layer 7

routes.setVisibility(true);

routes.style.strokeColor='#ff0000';

routes.style.strokeOpacity=0.3;

routes.style.strokeWidth=5;

map.addLayer(routes);

var options = {handlerOptions: {freehand: false}};

df = new OpenLayers.Control.DrawFeature(routes,OpenLayers.Handler.Path,
options);

df.featureAdded = function(feature) {

feature.state = OpenLayers.State.INSERT;

feature.style['strokeColor'] = "#ff00ff";

feature.style['strokeWidth']=5;

feature.style['strokeOpacity']= 0.3;

feature.layer.drawFeature(feature);

map.layers[7].commit();

map.layers[7].refresh();

};


 ef = new OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature(routes,{typeName:'routes'});

ef.onModificationEnd=function(feature){

feature.state = OpenLayers.State.UPDATE;

feature.style['strokeColor'] = "#ffff00";

feature.style['strokeWidth']=5;

feature.style['strokeOpacity']= 0.3;

feature.layer.drawFeature(feature);

map.layers[7].commit();

map.layers[7].refresh();

};
