I believe I sent you a list of mapserver and tinyows servers that were

configurable to work with anyways (as you may imagine, going to the
server owner and asking for an upgrade or a different
interpretation of the specs almost never works... especially if they
already have apps built on top of it, with their current behavior).
Do you still have the links? It's been so much time...
I don't recall this list. I do remember this:
https://sourceforge.net/p/geotools/mailman/message/32457750/
where we discussed mapserver/tinyows supported and ported additional
functionality tests for these servers from wfs to wfs-ng.
This is the last thing I can find about it in my mailbox. Do you recall
where this information came from or with what medium you sent it to me?
Eh, in the meantime we discovered that upgrade was botched and fixed
it at least to some extent.
Configure a wfs data store in a previous version, upgrade to a newer
newer one, and it did not work anymore.
Are there additional issues apart from the naming issue or the ones in
JIRA? I have successfully made the transition before.
I wonder if we can put this in a unit test somehow?
Old thread, I need to refresh my memory.... I believe I meant
centralized as in a geotools wrapper class that does the renaming
(see that "DataUtilities.makeGmlCompatible(DataStore) -> DataStore "
suggestion).
not centralized at the GeoServer level, the : issue in GeoServer
should not be a problem, but it's a serious problem
for those upgrading apps based on geotools instead.
It might then make sense to use that class in the store factory,
controlled by a parameter I guess (at this point it's very
hard to say if it should be on or off by default, since wfs-ng has
been out for a few releases...)
Okay. Yeah I have wondered that myself. Offer backwards compatibility to
wfs users or wfs-ng users? We can't do both any more, we'll have to
compromise one way or the other.
