MapFish web services aren't WFS web services. MapFish web services expose HTTP APIs based on GET (read features), POST (create features), PUT (update a feature) and DELETE (delete a feature). Now, as the application developer, you're free to implement WFS web services within your MapFish application if that's what you want, but using FeatureServer or GeoServer would prove lot easier. I'm happy to discuss this on the mapfish mailing list...
