Hi Gerald,

thanks for your fast answer again :-)
This solves the error but the next one is right around the corner:
<ows:ExceptionText>
TRACE : object of type 'Geometry' has no len()
TRACE : <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>
Unable to run your python process properly. Please check the following messages : ['  File "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ogr_ws_service_provider.py", line 70, in Union\n    while i < len(geometry1):\n']
</ows:ExceptionText>
Sure enough the "http://localhost:8082/geoserver/ows/?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetFeature&VERSION=1.0.0&typename=topp:states&SRS=EPSG:4326&FeatureID=states.15" part returns a valid polygon. I even tried a request like this:
<wps:Execute service="WPS" version="1.0.0" xmlns:wps="http://www.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0"

               </wps:data>
          </wps:Input>
          <wps:Input>
               <ows:Identifier>InputEntity2</ows:Identifier>
               <ows:Title>Playground area</ows:Title>
               <wps:data>
               <wps:complexdata mimeType="application/json"> {"type":"Point","coordinates": [-109.753206,46.913145]} </wps:complexdata>
               </wps:data>
          </wps:Input>
     </wps:DataInputs>
     <wps:ResponseForm>
          <wps:ResponseDocument>
               <wps:Output>
                    <ows:Identifier>Result</ows:Identifier>
                    <ows:Title>Area serviced by playground.</ows:Title>
                    <ows:Abstract>Area within which most users of this playground will live.</ows:Abstract>
               </wps:Output>
          </wps:ResponseDocument>
     </wps:ResponseForm>
</wps:Execute>

But the error message is still the same.

Cheers and thanks in adavance,
Christian

Hi Christian,
sorry for the delay in answering your question.

The answer is the same as the previous one but it is unfortunate that you have to modify the JavaScript to make it working. Note that with newer version of the ZOO-Kernel all this kind of issue has been solved. There is even a mimeType detection (which may vary from the one provided by the User when sending its request) which was introduced in revision 446 [1].

But as we are stuck as older version, let’s try to make it working this way.

For each Reference node in your XML request you will have to add a mimeType attribute. For the first one for instance it should become like in the following:

> <wps:Reference mimeType="text/xml" xlink:href="http://localhost:8082/geoserver/ows/?SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetFeature&VERSION=1.0.0&typename=topp:states&SRS=EPSG:4326&FeatureID=states.15"/>


I hope you can confirm that solve your issue,
waiting for your feedback,
Best regards,

> In fact the explanation text is probably not clear enough as you should not have to select multiple polygons. In fact, once you run a single geometry service, then you can select another feature nearby (the best would be one which overlay the first result) then you can run, once the second feature is selected, the « multiple features » services.

Anyway, you may probably have to issue with linked libraries.
