Hi Mirko,
Yeah the way geoserver uses these attributes is kind of tricky. Depending on
how you have your feature type configured you may get attributes in this
list, or you may not. The norm is to keep the list empty which means to
generate attributes from the schema of the underlying data source. We could
potentially force the rest api to always output the attributes though.
All in all you are probably better off using WFS DescribeFeatureType to
inspect the feature type attributes.
