Alauddin, Please, reply to the list as many other might be able to help you.
Please, take a look at the following example [1]. In it, you have a vector layer configured to a WFS-T server to allow transactions. OpenLayers is responsible of generating the transaction by AJAX on commit. Look at the code of the example for more. If it can help, I also made a WFS-T little demo a year ago. The OpenLayers version is outdated, but it might help too [2]. It uses TinyOWS as the WFS-T server (instead of GeoServer) though. Hope it helps, Alexandre [1] http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/wfs-protocol-transactions.html [2] http://dev4.mapgears.com/bdga/bdgaWFS-T.html Alauddin Khan wrote: > sorry i am new to mapping and this openlayers geoserver thing so i > could not pick up wht u r saying what i really want is to let user > write nething i-e label comment joke etc etc on the map displayed nd > then save it, add it to database and latter on same text as displayed > as a wfs layer . i mean map is displayed as wms layer then we hav 3 > layers for point line and polygon giving user capability to draw line > polygon or point and save it now i want to add another layer named as > text layer which enables to write on the map ne comments note or label > etc which is u kno then saved can i do this with open layers ?
