Hi there, I use Geoserver (with an Oracle datastore) to highlight features in an OpenLayers app . The geometry type is determined via a DescribeFeatureType request, but the request always returns "gml:GeometryPropertyType" for the geometry attribute, which effectively highlights polygons as if they were points.
My guess was that a custom schema.xml would help solve this problem, but the functionality is broken and scheduled to be fixed in 1.7.3. So for now I installed a 1.6.5 Geoserver, which picks up my schema.xml but always sets the more generic "gml:GeometryPropertyType" instead of "gml:PolygonPropertyType". Comments on issue this http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1124 http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1124 suggest that this is not a bug because Oracle allows storing multiple geometry types in one column. Is there a way to specify the specific type of my geometry attribute in Geoserver when using an Oracle datastore? More or less like the '"gml_<column_name>_type" "polygon"' in the METADATA section of a MapServer mapfile. Thanks for helping me out!
