Did I? No, I did not expressed myself properly. That's exactly what I wanted to do, that is, keep inside the datastore a mapping between the name we use to communicate with the wfs server, and the name we show to the gt2 user. > You > are really trying to fix a bug in the specification, where the intended > use/format of the featuretype name was not clearly defined, and the > implementations did not come to a consistent convention. This is indeed something that should be worth pushing on OGC for a clarification in the standard. > How does Galdos' server cascade? How does Degree's Server cascade (open > source)?

It may be interesting to check Degree... about Galdos, there is indeed a 30 days evaluation... > Answers to these questions will dictate how this needs to be fixed (if > at all). > > If you don't look after the convention issue (always an option), perhaps > the datastore should be renamed to GeoServerDataStore ... thus > advertising more acurately the intended use :).

Well, this allows me to voice something I had in the back of my mind... when uDig or whatever app based on gt2 communicates with geoserver, it would be nice to allow the usage of transport protocol more space efficient and less cpu intesinve than GML. It does not even need to be "our little secret", we can leverage stuff as java serialization (if only Feature was serializable, another big annoyance imho) or use protocols such as Hessian (http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/protocols/hessian.xtp), which is both binary, simple and language independent. It would still be WFS, just with a smarter encoding... Cheers Andrea Aime ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
