[OpenLayers-Users] Adding new features: WFS-T PostGIS

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Juan,

  Here's an old OpenLayers demo using WFS-T with TinyOWS (using a 
PostGIS DB) (1).  You have the same example using the MapFish and ExtJS 
API (2).  Click on the "ModifyFeature" icon then on a feature.

  See the code for more details.

Regards,

Alexandre
