Hi Robert, We are currently trying to resurrect the current schema.xml behavior for 1.7.3. However for previous versions you can work around the problem by changing schema.xml to schema.xsd. But, the syntax for the two is somewhat different. schema.xml is just the complex type definition, whereas schema.xsd is an entire schema.
I suggest you do the following: 1) do a DFT against your feature type, and save the result to disk 2) manually change GeometryPropertyType to PolygonPropertyType 3) copy the file to schema.xsd inside of the featureType directory for your feature type (parallel to schema.xml) And that should get across to openlayers the desired information. Try that and let me know if that works. -Justin Roberdt wrote: > Hi there, > > I use Geoserver (with an Oracle datastore) to highlight features in an > OpenLayers app .
