I kind of disagree here, but it may be just lack of real world experience. Let me tackle this point by point: * no filter support... ok, this may be, but remember you're giving up the ability to do mass updates this way. Like in update mytable set myatt = value where <here is the filter> * no POST query... here you give up the ability to modify all but a handful of features at a time (GET is no good for big sized parameters afaik). * GML comprehension and emission. Hem, you have to encode features that need to be inserted in a way that's agreed upon between the client and the server. How do you do that if you don't mandate a standard format? And I don't mean it has to be GML (see my other mail about the lack of standard format in WFS-simple). >> http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Versioning+WFS+-+Phase+one+implementation+proposal >> > > Nod, i was looking earlier, the extensions are clearly documented but > what would be really helpful would be sample query strings > showing them being used in a request... Well, I could take some from the WFS spec and modify them to show versioning usage. Yet, a WFS extension follows its parent destiny: you cannot just play with it "by example", you really have to code it with an understanding of the WFS schemas. Examples are nice thought, I will add some. Cheers Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
