Thanks for the response Andrea.

Perhaps the best option is to describe the service and parse the response to produce the list of desired attributes.

Kind regards,
Kytt

    Hi everyone,

    I have what I think should be a simple problem, but I am having
    trouble
    locating examples of this in the documentation.

    I would like to make a WFS  request which returns a set of
    features and
    a subset of those features attributes. I know that this can be
    accomplished using the propertyName parameter of a WFS request if the
    field names are known and specified. I would like to specify the
    fields
    names by instead passing a wild card "*something".

    Is this a possibility?


It's not part of the WFS specification, nor supported by GeoServer as an extension, but I guess you could build a WPS process that does the job for you, wrapping the standard WFS request as its input

Cheers
Andrea
