Improve FeatureAccess to work over Name instead of TypeName
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOT-1317
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1317
Project: GeoTools
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: data, new modules
Affects Versions: 2.4.0
Reporter: Gabriel Roldán
Assignee: Gabriel Roldán
Fix For: 2.4.0
{{FeatureAccess}} access content by {{TypeName}}. It should be by {{Name}}.
consider the example used in the WFS 1.1 spec: a {{DescribeFeatureType for the
TypeName}} {{myns:TreesA_1M}} and {{myns:RoadL_1M}} returns a schema with the
{{myns:TreesA_1M}} and {{myns:RoadL_1M}} element declarations and the
{{myns:TreesA_1M_Type}} and {{myns:RoadL_1M_Type}} type definitions
respectively.
Despite the example is GML biased, it exposes the difference between what we're
querying for, and what's the type of what we're querying for. As we usually do
not differentiate that, a common hack in geoserver is to respond with a type
definition whose name is composed of the Feature name queried plus {{"_Type"}}.
i.e., if asked for {{ROAD}}, encode the road type as {{ROAD_TYPE}}.
this doesn't used to be a problem, as generally we assume the table name in the
backend RDBMS is the Feature name.
But working with externally defined feature types exposes the problem as a
blocker, since we don't have control over what the Feature name and the
FeatureType name are, and it doesnt makes sense to keep the hack around.
