I saved the geoserver layer. I tried again changing conf/web.xml and checked the layer using curl and describefeatureType but the new field was missing from the response. I tried Server status - Configuration and catalog - Reload too and checked again with describefeatureType but the new field was still missing. That Geoserver installation has some other problem that shouldn't be related to this problem, but who knows. After restarting geoserver the new field was there. maxx ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

I'll do a test when I'll delete the field I added out of despair. :-) Thank you maxx ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

I'll ask on the geoserver mailing list if that is the expected behaviour. Well, 'problem' :-) Geoserver keeps the 'metadata' of it's datasources in memory (because it can be pretty intensive to find all kind of data from those. Off course users sometimes update their data (like you), so in the Geoserver web interface, go to 'Server Status' and then click the 'Reload' (the bottom button): Configuration and catalog. That refreshes Geoserver's internal metadata... (which for what I know only is cached in memory).

Thank you, I didn't know the QGIS Network logger, I lost hours trying to find out how to log network requests :-( I used the function Copy as cURL and tested it from a terminal. The response of geoserver doesn't include either the new field or the updated type field. So it must be a geoserver problem. Perhaps it caches the attributes definitions. I restarted geoserver and now the attributes are ok. I'll ask on the geoserver mailing list if that is the expected behaviour.

Can you confirm (F12 in QGIS, seeing the requests), that QGIS is requesting WFS_describeFeatureType? In development table, you can also see if it pulls it fresh from the net, OR if it is using a cached version. Some other things to try: - empty your network cache (via setting/network) (or create a new profile so you will have another dir as cache?) - replay the WFS_describeFeatureType in a browser and make sure Geoserver is showing the right types in it Is it a public WFS, if so can you share the URL?
