Hi,

I have a doubt regarding the way GML complex features encoder handles a sub collection of features, i.e. chained features.

The example use case is the representation of some meteorological stations measurements in GML. The complex feature represents a station were the measurements are represented as a sub collection of features. The XML expected representation
would be something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wfs:FeatureCollection ...>
    <st:featureMember>
        <st:StationFeature gml:id="1">
            <st:name>station 1</st:name>
            <st:contact>
                <st:mail>stati...@mail.com</st:mail>
            </st:contact>
            <st:measurement>
                <st:name>temp</st:name>
                <st:unit>c</st:unit>
                <st:value>35.5</st:value>
            </st:measurement>
            <st:measurement>
                <st:name>wind</st:name>
                <st:unit>km/h</st:unit>
                <st:value>110.5</st:value>
            </st:measurement>
            <st:geometry>
<gml:Point srsName="http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#4326";>
<gml:coordinates>50.0,60.0</gml:coordinates>
                </gml:Point>
            </st:geometry>
        </st:StationFeature>
    </gml:featureMember>
</wfs:FeatureCollection>

The first GML based schema I wrote for this didn't work, i.e. the measurements sub collection was not encoded by the encoder, please find that schema attached with name stations1.xsd. After some investigation I found that my
problem was in this piece of code:

https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/master/modules/extension/xsd/xsd-gml3/src/main/java/org/geotools/gml3/bindings/ComplexSupportXSAnyTypeBinding.java#L176-L177

Basically no child elements were extracted, and in this case the child elements were the station measurements. After checking the app-schema examples I came up with this second schema that worked, please find that schema attached with name stations2.xsd.

The main difference is that I wrapped the measurement element with the MeasurmentPropertyType:

<xs:complexType name="MeasurementPropertyType">
  <xs:sequence minOccurs="0">
    <xs:element ref="st:Measurement"/>
  </xs:sequence>
  <xs:attributeGroup ref="gml:AssociationAttributeGroup"/>
</xs:complexType>

This stations use case is just an example, I have a much more complex use case with the same problem were I cannot change the schema. So I'm wondering, did anyone had a similar use case ? did I made something wrong in the app-schema mappings-file ? is this something is just not supported by the encoder ? and did my first schema actually makes sense (in my point of view it looks sane) ?

Any help with this will be very very welcomed :)

Regards,

Nuno Oliveira
