The way I'm trying to propose them would make them valid hints for all datastores, and datastores should just advertise wheter they support those things or not. Besides JDBC data stores the WFS datastore is an obvious candidate for those hints since the very protocol allows the user to ask for the id to be used as-is. So any client code (including app-schema) that is interested in the fid handling matter can just look into the FeatureSource supported hints for a "use existing fid" one Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
