Hi,

You wrote We use UUIDs to identify our datasets
Does it mean that you have also typenames like 
402b28fe-af35-463f-a78f-47f121cea236 in your service? If you have then they are 
invalid as well because names of the feature types are QName. One old 
discussion about the topic is here 
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Re-Geoserver-devel-wms-getCapabilities-special-characters-td5160099.html.

Renaming the PostGIS columns is pretty easy to do with SQL View layer as Andrea 
told, or by creating the view into the database and publishing the view with 
Geoserver.

Special issue with Geoserver is that layers are usually automatically published 
as WMS and WFS or WCS with the same layer/featuretype/coverage name and while 
WMS and WCS 1.0.0 accepts anything as layer name WFS and WCS 2.0 are strict.

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
