Hi Andrea; > Ok, since Geoserver is depending on FeatureReader and FeatureResult in > a million of places, I'd like to find docs explaining why we are > changing this, where does the feature collection fever comes from, what > are the benefits. The move away from FeatureResults was a request by Chris Holmes and James, there is still a wiki page based on an email called "bring back feature collection" here: - http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Bring+Back+FeatureCollection
The decision was made back in 2004; I am just slow. > I want a good reason to rewrite/patch good part of the geoserver code > base (the WFS module in particular). The good part for GeoTools is less of our own code for people to learn; If you like DataFeatureCollection can maintain a reader() method - we have implementations that wrap around a normal Iterator. All of the FeatureResult methods have been deprecated; and their FeatureCollection counter parts have been available.
