Hi all, I'm considering extending the usage of HTML GetFeatureInfo templates for WFS as well. Here are some pros/cons of that approach:
- GetFeatureInfo is already taking N feature collections and encoding the output towards the desired format. It's the same as what a GetFeature does (a GetFeature can request multiple feature types, too) - The Freemarker encoding machinery is 95% independent of WMS, there is only one WMS setting called "GetFeatureInfo results auto-escaping". This setting could have to be replicated for WFS as well - There are a couple of places where adding a core HTML WFS output format might cause friction, one is users of the XSLT extension, that could have configured a HTML output format, and the OGC API, that has its own native HTML output format. - The XSLT does not seem used very much, so probably not a big deal, while the OGC API module could recognize the WFS HTML output format and just blacklist it from usage in OGC API Features - As an alternative, the WFS HTML output format based on Freemarker templates could become its own separate module, maybe a community one, solving a couple of problems, it could depend on WMS too, releaving the issue with the configuration, and being optional, it would not affect existing installations. Downside, the module would be a very thin implementation, which may make people wonder why it's even there Opinions? Cheers Andrea == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
