Hi everyone! During these past few years of working with OSS GIS software, GeoServer/MapServer in particular, there is a dilemma with mixed geometry types and the WFS standard that I have not quite wrapped my head around.
As far as I understand, the WFS standard as it is defined by the OGC does not support publishing mixed geometry types in the same layer and is thus at odds with, for example, a PostGIS tables storing different kinds of geometries. GeoServer, however, is capable of publishing a WFS service that can serve GeoJSON and GML with polygons, linestrings and points, all in the same layer. How does GeoServer get around this? Or am i missing something? Mvh / Best regards Andreas C. Atakan
