Thank you for you replay.
I apologize for not having specified version numbers: I completely forgot. Here
they are.
uDig 1.1RC1 on Windows XP
GeoServer 1.3.1beta on Fedora Core 4 (JDK 1.5)
PostgreSQL 8.1.1 with PostGIS 1.1.0
I'm able to accomplish all the tasks of chapter 6 of Walkthrough 2 ("editing
geometry with a WFS") but they are based on shapefiles shipped with GeoServer.
My experience with uDig and WFS/PostGIS is very different: all I managed to do
by now is to modify an existing feature (moving existing vertices and adding
new ones).
I answered to your question in the rest of your mail.

No, it seems to me the inserting of new features in WFS is not covered by
Walkthrough 2; there is a use case about duplicating a layer but I think the
copy layer was in memory only so no WFS writing is involved, is it right?

Version numbers are at the begin of this mail. You're right: now I retried
(reopened uDig) and it counts the exact number. It's strange because I added
that feature directly with a SQL command to PostGIS *before* opening uDig for
the first time. I'll do some other try and I'll notify you of any news.

So you're telling that uDig 1.1RC1 is supposed to work fine with insert
operation on WFS/PostGIS?
Anyway, I can produce an exact test case to reproduce the problem.

I think it's too early for anything formal, but I hope in the near future it
will be the case. I've read about the community svn space and we will use it
for sure when we will begin the real development work.

Thank you for your interest.
