I'm querying a WFS service (from Geoserver). The problem is, the dataset is very large, and most of it is irrelevant to what I'm doing in OpenLayers. In this context I'm only interested in retrieving the points from the server, not the 100+ additional properties.
I can construct a URL by hand to get what I want - every point, but only the position - like this: http://ubuntu-geospatial-server:8080/geoserver/wfs?service=wfs&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=underway:ss2011_v03&propertyName=position However I haven't been able to work out the equivalent in OpenLayers. Filters will let me get, say, all the points in a certain period, but it will still return the full dataset, which is causing performance problems. I've looked through the API, mailing lists and Google, and I haven't been able to find any answers. Any help is much appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Limit-number-of-properties-returned-WFS-tp6857679p6857679.html Sent from the OpenLayers Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users
