[OpenLayers-Users] Problem with getting WFS capabilities

[Phil Scadden]

hmm. I use a custom WFSCapabilities parser but dont otherwise have an 
issue. Have checked your getcaps call directly as a browser URL (or 
looked at the return in the NET tab).
My code is like this: (It is within the context of an ExtJS form but you 
should see the essentials okay. It loads a store with a list of WFS layers).


function wfsGetCapabilities(node) {
     var url = node.data.sQURL;
     if (url.indexOf('?') < 0) url += '?';
     if ((url.indexOf('?') + 1) < url.length) url += '&';
     if (url != '?') {
         Ext.Ajax.request({
             url: 'FileHandling/adminproxy.jsp',
             success: addWfsLayers,
             params: {
                 url: url + 'service=WFS&request=GetCapabilities'
             }
         });
     }
}

function addWfsLayers(response) {
     var wfsGetCapabilitiesParsed = parseWFS(response.responseXML);
     var node = getSelNode();
     var layerData = [];
     var layerToSelect = '';
     for (i=0; i<wfsGetCapabilitiesParsed.featureTypes.length; i++) {
         var layer = wfsGetCapabilitiesParsed.featureTypes[i];
         layerData[i] = [layer.prefix + ':' + layer.name,layer.title];
         if (layer.name == node.data.sQFeatureType) layerToSelect = 
layer.title;
     }
     Ext.getStore('AvailableSpatialLayers').loadData(layerData);
     if (layerToSelect != '') {
         var spatialListCombo = Ext.ComponentQuery.query('libraryPanel 
libraryLayerDetailsPanel spatialListCombo')[0];
         spatialListCombo.setValue(layerToSelect);
         spatialListCombo.fireEvent('select',spatialListCombo,'');
     }
}

function parseWFS(xmlDoc) {
     var featureTypeList = {
         featureTypes: []
     };
     for (i=0; i<xmlDoc.documentElement.childElementCount; i++) {
         var elem = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes[i];
         if (elem.localName=='FeatureTypeList') {
             for (k=0; k<elem.childElementCount; k++) {
                 var childElem = elem.childNodes[k];
                 if (childElem.localName=='FeatureType') {
                     var featureType = {};
                     for (j=0; j<childElem.childElementCount; j++) {
                         var field = childElem.childNodes[j];
                         var name = field.localName;
                         var text = field.textContent;
                         if (name=='Name') {
                             var parts = text.split(':');
                             featureType.name = parts.pop();
                             featureType.prefix = parts.pop();
                         } else if (name=='Title') featureType.title = text;
                         else if (name=='DefaultSRS') featureType.srs = 
text;
                     }
                     featureTypeList.featureTypes.push(featureType);
                 }
             }
         }
     }
     return featureTypeList;
}
