Hi Andrea,

thanks for the quick reply.

Just for the record: Correct behaviour towards the client also matters in option (2). Possibilities for handling wrong GML are:

2a) return an HTTP error (fail early)
2b) hide invalid layers in Capabilities
2c) disable GML output on a particular WFS endpoint if one of the layers is invalid (contradicts WFS spec!)
2d) disable WFS endpoint until data becomes valid

All of these are far from ideal, so option (2) might be the least favorable solution.

Kind regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I believe this is intended behavior, it's not up to the data store code to police attribute names and ids. E.g., if you were just using this layer for WMS, there would not be any problem,
serving also WFS is your choice, many do, but not everybody.

We have been over this a few times without any good consensus (and more importantly,
without any funding to take action on it), various positions are:
* Do not allow publishing if the data is not compatible with _all_ services * Warn the admin if a layer is not compatible with some service restrictions * Perform on the fly mappings to avoid this issue, with different mappings per service

The quickest solution for you is probably to setup a sql view that amends the names and ids so that they are compliant. This works as long as you don't have to edit via WFS-T of course.

Cheers
Andrea

    Hello everyone,

    We are running a Geoserver instance with Postgres/PostGIS backend.
    Everything
    seems to work fine so far, except for WFS with GML.

    We have two specific issues here:

    1) The auto-generated feature IDs (see [1]) do not comply with the
    QName
    convention. We use UUIDs to identify our datasets and Geoserver
    seems to uses
    this UUID directly to generate Feature IDs. Since QNames must not
    start with a
    number, we get invalid GML for roughly 10 out of 16 datasets. Most
    Validators/Clients we have tested fail to parse this GML (QGIS
    among them).

    2) Geoserver uses Postgres column names as feature attribute
    names. Since
    Postgres column names are not restricted to QNames (e.g. "12345",
    "km/s" are
    valid column names), we sometimes run into similar issues here.

    Is this intended behavior, i.e. is the dataset provider
    responsible for
    ensuring QName compliant attribute names, or is it a bug?


    Kind regards,
    Matthias

    p.s.: Geoserver version is 2.8.3
