[OpenLayers-Users] How to get only attributes from WMS or WFS in Openlayers

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Hi,

you can specify propertyNames on the options when you call
OpenLayers.Format.WFST write to only get a list of attributes back.

I use a WFS DescribeFeatureType request to get the list of attributes and
then I filter out the geometry attribute so that I don't need to hardcode
the list of attributes.

Best regards,
Bart
