Andrea can you "make the cut" with a suggestion before 2.3.0 goes out the door? That seems to be the best of both worlds: I assume: GeoTools changes: #1 Feature.getVersion(): String, default implementation returns null (for unknown) #2 Fix up the Transform to output the version if it is non null
And then this one is just a "use" of GeoTools: #3 You use Transaction properties as how to pass your vendor specific parameters into your custom datastore (this is exactly what they were created for; indeed it was for a GeoServer vendor specific parameter controlling decimation that they were added). #4 Create your custom datastore... >>> So, I'm really wondering, if the schema is mandated by an external >>> authority, could we avoid messing with versioning and use the complex >>> data store instead to get the same result? >> My brain - pop!

Oh okay; yeah I can get that - I just hoped that they could use your serverice as a WFS-T with out knowing that secretly the application was keeping a history.... > > Cheers > Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
