What port are you running the open layers application on? If the port is different to 7013 then it will be a browser cross domain issue. i.e you can't make ajax requests to a server on a different domain/host
You'll have to set up a proxy in apache or run the application out of the tomcat/jetty running on 7013 Louis -----Original Message----- From: badger [mailto:matjb...@hotmail.co.uk] Sent: 10 November 2011 11:42 To: geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Geoserver-users] Using a WFS layer I have a problem with WFS layers, I am trying to call one up from geoserver, here is the relavant code: var Test = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector( "WFS", { protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({ url: "http://localhost:7013/geoserver/wfs", featureType: 'topp:TESTVECTOR', }) }); the result is that the layer does not display, and there are no helpful error messages in firebug. When I change the directory nothing changes, even when I spell the folder names wrong e.g. url: "http://localhost:7013/goserver/wfs", so it seems like i am looking in the wrong place for the wfs, how do I find the right place? is there a link between a folders location and its location on geoserver? I have also read in the openlayers guidebook that WFS is depreciated, are my problems because it is about to be replaced? is there an alternative option that i can use for viewing and editing vectors on geoserver?
